Wasn't a huge fan of the movie.
Actually haven't been a fan of many of Smith's recent movies.
By any chance, is there any book comparison in the class?

And how would you go about preventing the spread of zombies?

I am in no way, shape or form eligible to decide how to prevent zombies.
One would have to assume you'd have to identify what is causing the spread though - be it exposure, chemical reaction, genetics, or a bite/scratch of some kind.

Then you would have to determine the average speed the zombies travel at, and the cognitive skills they posses as well as dexterity levels. Are they capable of speech, reason, thought, any general forms of rationalization?

Then you would have to determine the best way to get rid of the infestation, whether it be to exterminate all living zombies, or to come up with some sort of anti-virus to prevent further spread, as well as exterminating all zombies. You would have to find if the strain is passable onto animals as well - and if so - what animals/insects are able to be infected, and what happens when such happens.

Do these zombies sleep, do they avoid daylight? Can they swim? Do they climb? All of these are reasonable and valid questions you would need to solve before you even figure out where to begin on a zombie prevention plan.

I strongly urge everyone to post in the new Movies & TV forum.

There are some cool online tests to see how big the chance is you'd survive a zombie outbreak.

Why not move this thread there?

I think this is a fine start to a Zombie Prevention and Survival Guide.
Just need to expand your ideas. And maybe do some research on known zombies *coughCamcough*

Let the Right One In

Very very good. It's a Swedish romantic horror film about a 12 year old boy who befriends a vampire.

Won a crapload of awards if that's the sort of thing that matters to you. There's going to be remake by the Cloverfield director but will be adapted from the book instead of copying the movie.

It gets the Teuthida seal of approval.

Ah, this was recommended by my brother and I really want to see it. Unfortuantely I don't think it's playing anywhere near; unless I count NYC as near, but I don't...

Saw "He's Just Not That Into You" last night. Enjoyed it very much :p

I think it provides a somewhat accurate portrayal of the differing perspectives of men and women in relationships and the dating scene. However, the movie seems to place women as victims with the exception of one relationship. All in all though, It was worth the watch and you guys should probably check it out before the hypebeast takes hold.

I saw Taken starring Liam Neeson.

Highly entertaining. Good movie.

I saw Coraline last night. Superb animation but the story is Alice in Wonderland with a few modifications.

I saw Paranoid Park with a friend last saturday. I'll give it a 6/10. Not special at all.
