Addiction II

I have a sick and sordid confession to make. As a film student and film bluff; there tends to be this expectation that people place on you to like "serious" or "artistic films"...well, I do. But there is this other side of me that likes brain less "silly" films. I mean, as much as film making is my life, I see films as being a form of entertainment too. And that's why I watch all sorts of films. And that's why I like "zombie" movies!

I don't know why but I do! They are often silly, over the top, hardly ever scary but they make me laugh and the above mentioned facts are the reason I like them. They remind me of why I liked movies in the first place. The entertainment factor.

Good serious or arty films are excellent but there are times that your brain really just wants to shut down. That's what "zombie" movies are for! Hahahaha...

For anyone interested, some of the better ones are Dawn of The Dead, Land of the Dead, Resident Evil 1 and 2 and Shaun of the Dead. Check them out. They're all pretty good. Like I said, they make me laugh.

We can't always be serious... "silliness" is so necessary sometimes!!!
