The Bill Murray scene is among the best comedy in all of cinema IMHO.

Are they editing it? I suspect that movie just isn't going to work edited for TV.

Hey, it goes with the genre. Besides, you were just at Bill Murray's house.  And there are Twinkies! And they have been talking about going there for 3/4s of the film.. it shouldn't  be a surprise at this point.

Only Vegas could be filled with more zombie-attracting bells & whistles!

I have to say the rollercoaster ride was hilarious though!

That film played forever on Starz. It was great. Woody Harrelson is a scumbag but can turn in a decent performance on occasion.

I did my best.. made it 7 minutes into it before I turned it off and erased it off the DVR.

I would have after 2 minutes.. but I kept thinking what you guys would say if I just shut it off.

Beyond suck!

That was my reaction to "Hobo with a Shotgun". I was all pumped to see Rutger Hauer deal out some vigilante justice, and I made it about 5 minutes into the film before I shut it off and threw the DVD away.

I liked Zombieland though. It wasn't great - stupid, actually. But the comedic moments here and there throughout were enough to keep it watchable for me.

Wait a minute......This coming from a guy playing on a you tube video????? LOLOL..... Kidding.

It is stupid humor....and with all the stupidity in the world, I need some stupid humor at times.


For those without taste who watched, I believe the Murray part was edited. I seem to remember him gasping into life a few times after taking one to the chest....but I may be mistaken. I had forgotten the roller coaster shoot em up. Funny. The ride that hurls you up into the air? One of my favorites...no, not the scene, the ride...I love that ride.

And it is humor to allow zombies full range of motion, and running ability, eating fat people, while the star of the show craves a twinkie.

Wow. Its really one of my favorites. Of course, it may be a function of where my head is at these days.  At 7 minutes you didn't even make it through the rules.  The film does settle down a bit. The gore, while present, isn't the point of the film, and it really turns into a story that is more about the Characters and the Zombies.  

And there is a lot of good practical info - double tap,  always check the back seat,  cardio, beware of bathrooms, wear your seatbelt . All good stuff. .  It could save your life. The Zombie Apocalypse is coming

I thought the opening sequence was a hoot, fatty can't run, the circling back to the car, launching the backseat zombie throught the windshield...

I sat through "Idiocracy", once - no zombies, though - and that was enough.

That was right where I stopped... when the zombie popped up in the back seat.. I did a facepalm and the predictability of it and shut it down.

It was just one more item for the checklist...check the backseat!

I know though, I think most of us here would never be caught flat-footed in many circumstances, but for a movie...it is what it is.  I groaned at the amusement park angle, but once there it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Dumb humor is dumb humor...and it filled in the gaps on my night...I've wasted time on things much worse!
