Re: World War Z (the film)
What? PSY isn't a nobody. He's working with Ban Ki Moon. Sure, he's an entertainer but his talk is about success and music and a ton of other things he actually knows about. So...ya. Not sure what your point is. This is exactly the kind of talk college age kids need.

Re: World War Z (the film)
I was attempting to refute your implication that universities only permitted well learned and academically renowned people to give talks.
Not to belittle Psy's accomplishments (I agree that he's exactly the sort of person that uni students, especially English ones, would go listen to), but his biggest success to date has been what was originally intended to be a novelty record.
I don't remember Los del Rio, best known for the Macarena, going on college speaking tours.

Re: World War Z (the film)
That wasn't my point though. My point was that they don't let every Jim, Bob and Harry give talks at University. You have to have accomplished something to get up and talk to potentially tens of thousands of students.

Re: World War Z (the film)
Just watched the trailer. It just did not make sense to me. Zombie land and dawn of the dead had viral super human rabies plague zombies and it made sense. Particularly with the populations of cities and what not. This is just a bunch of CGI created zombies that kept on multiplying with no rime or reason.
Now if this movie was about super mutant army ants the size of people this would totally make sense. Think Them but with bigger ants.
Granted I'm just going on the images I saw in the trailer. Ants would be cool and I can see how the movie would play out. This is just crap.Last edited by Hawriel; 2012-11-14 at 10:31 PM.

Re: World War Z (the film)
Possible, but you seem to have willfully forgotten Rouke Drift which happened on the heel of that battle. A company of the same British Regiment that had been decimated held off the same Zulu army by itself form a fortified position.
So, all the US army would need would be to overturn a number of cars, or just use their tanks, to block the streets. Ammo can be flown in by air and all the grunts have to do is shoot.Thanks to Kpenguin for the Superb Avatar.

Re: World War Z (the film)
Well, if truth must be said, I willfully ignored it, because (imo) it was not the point. I’m perfectly aware that we can have many Rorke's Drift… my point was that you can still have one Isandlwana. Yonkers is about Isandlwana, so, from this PoV, is plausible (sort of). But then, we should have plenty of successful Rorke's Drift.
I recommend it.
EDIT:
Now, a light note.
But they're US army! not English!
to cite Darths and Droids:
If attempting to defend an impossible position with bowmen and knights on foot against Genoese crossbowmen and tens of thousands of armoured, mounted knights, make sure you are heavily outnumbered.
If attempting to repel a force of cavalry and men-at-arms with longbowmen on St Crispin's Day, make sure you are vastly outnumbered.
If defending a hospital stockade against Zulus, make sure you are enormously outnumbered.
If you face an overwhelming force with a paltry number of defenders, make sure the defenders are English!Last edited by Killer Angel; 2012-11-16 at 05:55 AM.

Re: World War Z (the film)
The trailer looks stupid. Zombies can't run, their legs would break.
Ceika is a beautiful, wonderful person. The avatar was made by his/her great talent, and depending on his/her sex and sexuality, I either have a giant crush or a totally appropriate liking for him/her.

Re: World War Z (the film)
Well, fresh zombies could run.
But a key element of zombie fiction is that they don't repair damage the way living people do, and what most people forget is that using your muscles to any degree actually damages them (which is why people who do bodybuilding eat lots of protein and build in rest periods to allow their bodies to rebuild damaged muscle), so a zombie which runs around is eventually just going to cripple itself even without any obvious external damage, because the muscle fibers are too torn and useless to do any actual work.
