I saw Zombieland in theaters 10 years ago and it was a fun enough movie. I have no desire to see another one.

Yeah, it was like, fine, but I don’t need a sequel. Also I am dreading the egregious stunt cameo that will be featured. No way they don’t go back to that well again.

Zombieland was a very late '00s movie. It was "The cake is a lie" in movie form. The sequel will really have to do something different to be any good, but even if it does, I have a hard time believing it's a movie that needs to be made right now.

Like, I get what "the cake is a lie" is a reference to, but I cannot fathom how it relates to this movie.

I love how obvious it is that they wrote the first movie for Michael Cera and he was like "no, gently caress that" so they just had to go out and find some other lanky awkward white kid. Ended up going with the Pepsi girl from 90s' little brother.

it's really funny to think that Abigail Breslin was the second most famous of that quartet when the first one came out. Emma Stone was the girl from Superbad and Eisenberg was fresh off of Adventureland (which bombed) and a bunch of movies that very few people saw. Meanwhile, Breslin was an Oscar nominee just a few years before.

edit: Abigail Breslin really needs a better agent. she's a great actress who has been in some real nothing movies over the last decade.

There's a cinemark near my apartment, which is technically part of some strip mall, in that it shares a parking lot and a roadside sign with a furniture store and a few other businesses. It's the latter part that makes this worth posting about. The illuminated sign includes a panel where they advertise one movie per month or so. Every 3-5 weeks it's a different movie. And what I noticed is, in essentially every case, it's a movie that either bombed or whose box office was so uneventful that apart from that sign, I've never heard of it. I'm phoneposting while on break at work, so I might have gotten some of the titles wrong---and I definitely forgot most of the flicks altogether. It's loving bizarre, but at this point I just accept that I should probably not watch whatever movie is on the sign at the other end of the parking lot from the cinemark lest it be something like

Overboard
A simple favor
The spy who dated me
Hunter killer
The recent power rangers movie
Uncle Drew
How to be a Latin lover

The new Robin Hood movie is in the sign right now. I think we can all predict how that'll go.

The movie theater pillar ad of failure has flipped from Robin Hood to something called Five Feet Apart, which I've never heard of, and it's been up for a bit, so it'll probably flip again soon, now that it's had plenty of time to bomb.

Well yeah, it's their movie so it's possessive. Either the studio is called Cosmic Picture, in which case it's unambiguously correct, or they're called Cosmic Pictures in which case I probably would have gone with Pictures' instead but it's kind of a low-grade fuckup.

A Simple Favor is real good and I'll go to bat for Uncle Drew, but the rest of those are a bunch of wet farts. Five Feet Apart pisses me off because it's exactly the type of movie that should be coming out on Valentines day but nope, March.

Yeah this basically, just replace "cake" with "Twinkie" and that's the point I'm trying to make. It's not that I didn't like the movie or those memey jokes, I really did. But I feel like you had to be there, and we're not there anymore.

The fact that the main character being an Epic Gamer was a major plot point, since being a shut-in meant he was never exposed during the outbreak and it taught him the survival skills he needed to make traps, similarly feels like something from a completely different era.

It gets more understandable when you know the script was written as a sitcom pilot. Bill Murray was the Celebrity Who You Think Is Going To Star In This - ironically, he actually will be in Double Tap - Zombie Kill of the Week was intended as a running gag, and Tallahassee's Quest For Twinkies was of course going to play until the final episode.

It's very much like Revenge Of The Nerds saying that nerds are good at sex because it's all they think about, whereas jocks only think about sports.

Which is still less problematic than the movie saying "it's not rape if she likes it" in the same breath.

Mondo puts out a lot of absolute garbage, but they also put out a good amount of well made stuff. Most of them don't work well as posters for the movies they are meant to represent, but the detail, composition, and imagery are often terrific. I don't think this is Mondo, but it's the same sort of stuff that they often put out.

The guy was a shut-in who'd picked up survival skills simply by adopting rules according to prior knowledge (e.g. "check the back seat" and "beware of toilet stalls") and what he's had to learn to survive (like "always double-tap"), not via videogames.

I don't think he even makes a single trap in the film either.
