Zombie movies hate dicks and know-it-alls.

You know I was just thinking about this the other day when my parents were watching a horror movie and somebody has to make a horror movie where a character says this, then everyone else is quiet and just sorta stares at him, sort of ready for a shock. He says "What?" and looks at all of them. We expect him to die.... NOW... and it just doesn't happen.emeraldrafael said:Dont worry, I think we're safe here.
just like any horror film. The second yous ay it, whatever you're running from bursts through the door and kills you.
I think your list is great. There's a lot of great lists here, just had to give you some props.Mrrrgggrlllrrrg said:"That wasn't so bad."
"Mommy?"
"We can't just leave him/her."
"I can't shoot my sister!"
"Poke it, see if it's dead."

All opinions are biased. Also I said dominantly; Some have great writing.Kukakkau said:Well that's a pretty biased opinion. Judging by a lot of what people have posted it isn't much worse than other movies/seriesTheScientificIssole said:Isn't your quote from an anime? Anime being where crappy writing is dominant.
OT:"I'm going to go get killed by zombies!"
THAT STUPID WOMAN AND HER STUPID DOG IN DEAD RISING. I SWEAR.superdelux said:"MADONNA!!!!!!!!!"
Who can guess the reference.
Worse assumption is worse. What person do you know in a situation like this ever listens to the guy who actually knows what's going on? I mean, before the guy in the know is dead themselves, and then they're all like "Gee, I guess he was right."FalloutJack said:Ouch. Bad assumption is bad. You and I both know that while the book is fiction, it's studying a fictional event realistically. That's part of its appeal. The book is post-modernism at its best. Zombies do not exist, but this is a reasonable do-and-don't guide on how to handle them. In the event of zombies, the wrongful assumptions and bad ploys made in movies won't happen here. It may be the cart before the horse, but let's just say that the cart is ready if the horse ever shows up.6_Qubed said:"But the Guide says we have to... Guys? Where you goin'?

OT: "Zombie Survival Guide? Never heard of it."
Because if you ever try to apply your nerddom to a real-life imaginary scenario, people will drop you like a bad habit, you'll be alone, and that's how they get you.
(And yes, I do indeed have a copy of the Guide.)
