This is awesome......and it's not faked.

Yeah, Seagal plays the fat aikido fighting bad guy. I was astonished to find that it also had Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Don "Crockett" Johnson in it. Big names ina what is essentially a big-budget schlock movie.

Whut?

Um.......the film has Steven Seagal in it. He fights Machete at the end.

Finally got to watch Machete last night on DVD. It's every bit as awesome as I hoped it would be. Action, violence, nudity and ridiculous stunts it doesn't disappoint.

And features far more big name stars than I expected. Is it the first time Steven Seagal has played a bad guy.

I thought I heard 'round that it was just a mini series, ie like 13 episodes or something?

I could be wrong though.

The pilot was 90mins. They are now making another 13 episodes. Assuming it's a success, there's no reason they couldn't make another season next year.

I've seen the first 2 episodes now and am loving it. It's surprisingly violent for a TV show, and they aren't ashamed to show Z's being dispatched at close range. I just hope it doesn't go the way of most TV shows I start to like and get cancelled.

Your complaint seems to be not that stupid things happen in the movies, but that people act stupidly in the films.

Most people in situations of great stress do not act rationally. I would say being suddenly attacked by zombies would qualify as a stressful situation and a lot of people will in real life panic, freeze or do stupid things in those situations.

Jane Austin's Fight Club. Rather silly really.

Yes, I have read them all. My point was nothing to do with World War Z. The article says a movie studio has optioned The Zombie Survival Guide. That seems bizarre to me.

Brad Pitt to star in 'World War Z,' the big screen adaptation of Max Brooks' novel

This has to be a windup right? I mean a movie of World war Z I can see happening, but why would anyone buy the movie rights to The Zombie Survival Guide. It's essentially an encyclopedia

And sold

There are a lot of topless women in it. And some corset clad ones too. The acid-squirting tits were a bit unexpected but novel. Don't think I've seen that before in a movie.

Depends what you mean by Old School but there are three older styles of film I will always love.

Westerns. Particularly anything with John Wayne in it.

Film Noir - the 1940's and 1950's stuff. The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Killers, Double Indemnity. Great films and they really don't make 'em like that anymore.

1980's slasher movies. I grew up watching this stuff. Jason, Freddy and Michael Myers were the main heroes obviously, but there were probably thousands of similar styled slasher flicks made back then. The rules were simple: bunch of teenagers in some unlikely location get drunk, have sex, then start getting killed by some ridiculously clothed baddie with a cool weapon of choice. The modern ones try too hard with fancy special effects and stuff.

Watched this last night. Thank Eris I didn't buy it, I only rented it.

It had all the ingredients to be a classic, but is sadly not that good. It's not the worst film I've seen or anything, but it's not great either. Watch only if you want to see zombie women squirting acid from their tits.
