I mean I was being somewhat hyperbolic but I do generally find the Hollywood depiction of zombies pretty uninteresting.

The Haitian voodoo zombies from which they are derived are much more creepy/interesting to me.

Also that movie was super hyped up to me by a friend who was traumatized by it as a kid so maybe the disappointment when I finally watched it skewed my opinion of it somewhat. The story of him being traumatized by it was infinitely more compelling than the actual movie to me.

I think the only movie I've seen that actually explores etymological zombies from voodoo is Serpent & The Rainbow.

The only movie exploring etymological Zombies might actually be Pontypool.

Lol good one.

Now everybody pretend to be surprised that Anteater and jwb were underwhelmed by a film criticizing race politics in America.

And I agree that Carnival of Souls is superior to Night of the Living Dead.
I was going to say it was a rip off of the original I Am Legend film but I guess the original I Am Legend film was The Last Man on Earth. Huh.

Update on my gf's mom.

She's on day 10. Her fever keeps coming back and forth but yesterday she had some tightness in her lungs. No trouble breathing but her cough was a little worse and it hurt. Doctor says it's part of the process. She's going to beat this f*cker unless one of those rapid deterioration cases happens. She's healthy and not overweight so I'm going to hope that doesn't happen as it's less likely.

We're almost through this but it's really just a warm up to having to most likely do this with my own parents, relatives, friends, my gf, and even myself.

It creeped up on me real quick, but I believe it's a different spectrum based on a few variables. Mine started with a tinny or weird taste in my mouth for a few days, like when you feel like you're coming down with something, then I broke out with a few zits here and there which isn't too weird, but kinda out of the ordinary, then the dry cough, and finally came to full fruition with pain in the bottom of my lungs, which I thought was some sort of lower back issue, then the trouble breathing and fluid build up started that night. It lasted about 12 hours until my body started to recover to where I didn't think I was in danger.

Godspeed to her Exo.
