    “Zombieland” Beefs

    By Kyle | October 7, 2009

    Jeffrey Wells has a few such as: (mild spoilers ahead, also spoilers in the comments) Don’t drop the baseball bat after you’ve just clubbed a Z with it in the grocery store. You might need it to beat some sense into the next undead flesh-muncher. Also, why announce your presence by playing a tune for the zombies? Surprise has to be a key element in the attack. Of course, the biggest beef of all has to be: Don’t pretend to be a zombie at a time when people tend to be a little jittery.

      ***HUGE SPOILERS!!!****

      2 responses here, though I hate to have a logical discussion about a comedy that doesn’t take itself seriously.

      1. To me, it actually logically makes sense to announce your presense by playing the banjo. This way you lure the zombies out of hiding. Better to do that than be surprised when you’re turning the corner.

      2. The fact that the following is SO incredibly illogical makes the scene the funniest of the year: In a world overrun by zombies, while the person in the other room has a shotgun, and they are in your house, and presume you to be dead, and you happen to be WEARING ZOMBIE MAKEUP, you should not try to prank them.

      The total lack of logic makes that scene. I’m still laughing just typing it out.

      My biggest beef: Jesse Eisenberg playing Michael Cera in a zombie movie.
