So...do you think zombies are a fad already?

NO I hate monkeys!
You and I Sir, will be meeting at the flag pole.

But honestly, you actually hate monkeys? But they're so cute, so playful, so...dangerous...so vile...but they sure are cute.

I hate them in movies, because they play up the cuteness way too much. Sort of like with puppies. I'm fine with them at the zoo.

I could have sworn they said that.
I guess it could be considered his first major MOVIE role, as before that he did TV movies and like Return to Horror High, Return of the Killer Tomatoes, etc. But he had been on TONS of TV shows including the very successful ER, so I wouldn't say he hadn't hit it big yet.

You hate monkeys, puppies, and anything cute unless it's locked in a cage but have a PPG avatar?

Very well then ;)

They need to bring back the Chimp Channel.

I like chimps on TV, but only on TV. You wouldn't catch me in the same room with a chimp ever.

Yeah, you're probably right about them meaning his first big movie role. That makes sense. They could have been joking around too for all I know. Quentin and Rodriguez did that quite a bit on commentary.

I don't know that much about Clooney's career, other than ER, From Dusk til Dawn and the Batman movie. Those are the first three things that pop into my head though I have probably seen him in some other stuff too

Despite the zombie fad, there hasn't been a good "serious" zombie movie since like the 80s. They are all spoofs, not violent enough or goofy in some way. AMC's Walking Dead has been decent enough though.

That's what I hated about Zombieland. Unfunny as fuck. Sean of the Dead was good though, despite being a spoof.

28 Days Later wasn't serious enough for you?

I thought 28 days later was pretty good. Or does that not count because they're diseased not undead?
