Just got back from seeing "Dawn of the Dead". Dude, the soundtrack ... *covets* (EDIT: Yay! Downloaded the lounge version of "Down With the Sickness"! Can officially die happy now.)

Loved the movie, though, especially the comedic bits. Of course, if you watch zombie and/or apocalyptic movies the way I do, all of the bits are comedic. And, uh, Terry the security guard was hot. Which is impressive, considering his hotness distracted me from Mekhi's. Of course, he wasn't as cool as Ving, but then, there are delightfully refreshing iced teas made at the height of August heat waves that will never be as cool as Ving.

I also bought the original on DVD and a horror novel set after a nuclear armageddon at Borders and joined hello_out_there, which brings my "We're all going to die screaming in a worldwide calamity!" entertainment count for today up to four. Which with my track record means I have to enjoy the total end of at least three more civilizations, dimensions and/or planets to fill my daily quota.

Oh my god. The security guard is the kid from the Air Bud movies. He's all grown up and hot.

I was all, "Borders was the flashpoint for nuclear armageddon? Bummer." Then I realized you bought the book at Borders, not that it was set there. Kind of a letdown.

hello_out_there and zombienet look very, very cool. I'm going to keep an eye on those. I love post-apocolyptic books and roleplays.

'Down With The Sickness' as sung by that Sinatra-esque man is the best. Song. Ever.

YES. I knew it was coming, but when that sequence finally came up in the movie, I damn near died. That and Ozzy's rendition of "Staying Alive" may be my two favorite cover songs ever.

I can't begin to describe how annoyed I was when I went shopping afterwards and couldn't find the damn soundtrack anywhere.

Richard Cheese is the lounge singer guy's name, and "Down With The Sickness" isn't the only song he's covered in lounge format. For the love of God, you MUST download everything by him you can get your hands on. You'd love it.

We just got back from this film, and I agree with you on all points. I was also a fan of cj, the assholish guard who did the bit with the propane. Andy was by far my fav guy, though not in the looks dept.
