week one
[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.
On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.
Enjoy your week, Champions.]

I remember they wouldn't let anyone under 17 in to see it, but I had just turned 17 and there wasn't god nor man who could stop me from going.

Yeah, and while it's good and stuff, I still prefer the Romero original squeal. Zack Synder's 2004 version is different enough ta be considered a reimagining, but it uses the same base of characters hiding in the mall during a zombie apocalypse and shares the same title, so it's pretty easy ta argue either way.
[Zombina ticks off a few fingers as she lists out the differences.]
Aaaanyway, the thing is, 2004 is more dark and all about the jumpscares, fear, and fast paced tension. It's a totally different style than how Romero went for being eerie, slow paced, and a lighter atmosphere. Romero let ya scare yourself and keep on the edge of your seat, while Synder is tryin' ta knock ya outta it. Romero also didn't take himself too seriously and considered it ta be an comedy at some points.
[Zombina is pretty much pouting at the next part.]
Snyder made his zombies able ta run, jump, and scream. Like I said, they're way too lively in my opinion! I can still appreciate the new spin on everything though. It gives it's own experience while still bringing in a lot of what made the original great.
[She grins.]
I managed ta find Night of the Living Dead in the media room earlier. I bet if we go digging around, we'll be able ta find 2004 to if ya wanna watch it.

You didn't make it sound too tempting just then. I like the horror-comedy aspects of the original Romeros, what's the point of a zombie flick if you're not laughing at it?
2004, though. Bet the special effects aren't anything to scoff at.

[Haha...ha...]
Still, people seem ta be going ga ga over speedy zombies these days. It's a real shame that it's gettin' harder ta find a well produced movie with the shambling ones. Still, the special effects are usually real impressive! So that's another point for Snyder and the modern zombie movies favor. They really got some accurate gore in there!
[Trust the resident Zombie. She would know.]

What, you mean you can't just fake it with cornflakes and liquid latex anymore?
no subject
Well ya could! But we've got fancy computer graphics now! Digital effects have become a huge parta zombie movies these days. Still, cornflakes and liquid latex are totally invaluable resources in my opinion. Things can look kinda silly with some digital effects. Like, it'll totally snap ya outta the film if ya see an real bad effect that looks totally fake!

[He thinks he's from 1990 - computer generated effects were in their infancy.]
Of course, sometimes the practical effects don't look great either. You ever notice how fake the shark in Jaws looks?
