 | You know the bit in Dawn of the Dead (a sequel, incidentally, that is in with a decent shout of being better than the original. See also The Evil Dead 2 which, in a spooktacular coincidence, was also titled "Dead by Dawn") where a group of zombies, having returned to the mall as a place they dimly recall in what is left of their rotted cerebella as a place they were happy, are being carried up the escalator but no longer have the grey matter to process getting off it, and just fall over as they reach the top? Note that we use the term "grey matter" here to mean "smarts, moxie, intellect", rather than just matter that is grey, more than most humans of which zombies tend to possess, through a) having grey skin and b) eating brains.
Well, in the Virgin Megastore on Thursday I got an eerie sense that I was about to have similar brain-sucking issues. People were riding the escalator up to the first floor, and then freezing in place as soon as they laid eyes on the big screen showing "The Fellowship of the Ring" on the wall in front of then, before stumbling awkwardly off the escalator without taking aforementioned peepers from the hot Hobbit action in front of them and shambling to a better vantage point. The urge to grab them by the throat and yell "you've already seen it eight times, elfcocks" was drivne back into my chest by fear for my oh-so-comestible flesh.
Plus, the sudden horrible realisation that, betweeen the crowd all wondering as one whether the sequel would be better and the teenage girls beating the tar out of each other on Dead or Alive 3 behind them, I actually am my weblog.
