Late to the Glee party.
Tonight the teens and I watched Zombieland, and we thought it was absolutely hysterical.
We love zombie movies anyway, one of our fave funny zombie flicks is Shaun of the Dead, and Zombieland is like the American version of that in my opinion.
The 32 rules for how to survive a zombie invasion were so funny, they were things that fans of zombie flicks have talked for as long as there have been zombie flicks, things you need to do just in case there ever really is a zombie invasion.
Rule #1:
Cardio.
If you're out of shape and can't outrun a zombie, you're going to get eaten.
Rule #2:
Beware of bathrooms.
Zombies tend to attack when you're most vulnerable, and really, "dropping the kids off at the pool", is probably the most vulnerable any of us ever are.
Rule #19:
Blend in.
Zombies don't eat other zombies, so try to blend in with a little cornstarch on your face, some berry jam dribbling out of your mouth, you'll fit right in.
Bill Murray had a cameo in the movie as himself, one of the last survivors in Hollywood, he made himself blend in using the makeup techniques mentioned above, and was able to go play a few rounds of golf because zombies don't eat zombies.
Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson, talks Murray into playing a trick on Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, as he's sitting watching some of the classic Bill Murray movies in Murray's own home theater seating, but Columbus mistakes Murray's makeup for being a real zombie, and takes out Murray zombie.
Ooops!
But there's so many fabulous and wicked funny scenes in Zombieland, there's all of the awesome 'Kill of the week' scenes, it's just a great movie and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
After it went off, the teens went off to play, and I had some stuff to look up online, so I just left it on Fox 13, the channel it was on before I popped the movie in, and I listened and watched parts of American Idol.
Some of them were actually pretty good, and some of the girls really just sucked.
If you just can't hit the notes in "Smile", it doesn't matter how much you love the song, loving the song isn't going to help you sing it awesome, so just don't even try, pick something that you can actually sing considering that tonight's round was to pick the top 12.
End of the line for you, sucks for you, oh well.
Then I just left it on that channel again and watched Glee.
Everyone is always raving about Glee, and I think I watched the first 2 episodes or so, and then found other things to watch on Tuesday nights, but now I can totally see why people love the show and why I should have probably watched the third and fourth episodes before I gave up on it.
I really like the kid in the wheelchair's version of Dancing With Myself, it's just a very cool version.
I'll probably watch it again sometime if I can't find other stuff to watch.

Zombieland was one of my top movies for 2009, I watched it twice the week we bought the DVD, too! :)

Zombieland was fantastic, but the tech crew was full of entitled dickheads! Yeah, they dropped a decent chunk of change with us when they were in town, but they were nowhere near any of our biggest customers but they certainly expected to have their asses kissed.
They made Wild Adventures look so nice though! haha
And Glee is absolutely addictive. It's just very campy and the music always sucks me in. Some of their performances have given me chills. I get really caught up in music though.
