Killash Larz	Posted - 2004.08.02 12:09:00 - [1] I'm having one of those Monday morning hagover thoughts... In every zombie film I ever saw the zobies allways had a need to eat human flesh. Why is this? Why can't they go eat something else instead like toxic waste thus not killing humans and doing a bit of good to the enviroment. Any thoughts as to why ?

Killash Larz	Posted - 2004.08.02 12:18:00 - [7] I'm sure they could think of other ways to be scary... like maybe driving their cars on the pavement or mugging the elderly ?

Rodj Blake	Posted - 2004.08.02 12:21:00 - [10] What I don't get is how people who get eaten by zombies become zombies. I mean, they've been eaten, so shouldn't they end up as turds rather than zombies? Dolce et decorum est pro imperator mori

Deadflip2	Posted - 2004.08.02 12:28:00 - [13] in the movies: misterious powers keep zombies together even though their bodies are unable to function at they way they act, this indicates the place is probably entirely cursed (the power needs to be at least everywhere the zombies go). therefor everything that dies once the power is there will automaticly join the zombies. (as long as it aint realistic cyberneticly engineered ones). --- "this song reminds me of the girl i met on a schooltrip, she was really nice, and she really liked me. I forgot to ask her her phone number" - Nelix trist OMG im a pretzel!!!

Killash Larz	Posted - 2004.08.02 12:30:00 - [16] Edited by: Killash Larz on 02/08/2004 12:32:35 Thats a very good and valid point Rodj. I could never understand that either. Also why do they shuffle about really slowly? Why don't they make more of an effort to run about a bit or atleast a brisk jog?

As for why we eat flesh - it's because it tastes like chicken (but you don't need to de-feather humans) ----------- "Remember people: Omber is the biggest evil ever created, DO NOT let it get to you!"

Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2004.08.02 13:59:00 - [22] Aggression and eating are two of the most basic instincts, supposedly when the undead awaken they retain only the most basic motor skills and wants. 28 Days Later was crap. The best zombie movie still is Dawn of the Dead, the original. Convert Stations

Attrael	Posted - 2004.08.02 19:26:00 - [28] There are a number of things that could account for the slow zombie shuffle. 1. Usually, after death, rigor mortis sets which makes the body very stiff. Perhaps, the same still happens once you are zombified so their limbs become stiff and immobile. 2. In some cases it has been indicated that decay still occurs within the zombie, although at a greatly decreased rate. So, muscle tissues, ligaments, bone cartilige, and other constructs within and around joints are degrading over time resulting in less efficient limbs and joints. 3. It's also possible that both 1 and 2 come into play. I've observed in a number of zombie movies where fresh, newly minted zombies tend to spring up and move real darn fast compared to their older bretheren who have been rotting for a little while. 4. In "most" zombie cases, they can only be killed by causing some kind of traumatic damage to the brain. This indicates that the brain still functions as the 'central' command center for the zombie. It is reasonable to assume that the process of turning into a zombie causes severe damage to the various centeres the brain including those responsible for coordination and mobility. The indication that the zombies only retain basic instincts, eating and attack for example, supports this hypothesis. However, it can also be noted that zombies seem to recognize and not attack each other on sight. This indicates that they can discern zombie from non-zombie and take action accordingly. Also, since the average zombie doesn't appear to ever suffer from poor eye sight, it stands to reason that the regions of the brain for sight and some basic reasoning still exists which can serve as a counter example for this whole brain damage hypothesis. 5. I have yet to see a zombie, in any movie, drink water or any other kind of liquid. Sure, they may get some water from the victims they consume, but eventually they run out of victims. I would envision that a couple thousand zombies shambling about in the hot summer sun would start to dry out and slow down as bone dry flesh isn't very flexible flesh. So, perhaps zombies shamble because they are extremely dehydrated. As an example, you could try draining your knee cavity of all fluid and fill it in with dry sand, then try to run. I envision that's what life would be like for a super parched zombie. 6. Finally, we get to the theological reason. Where whatever 'god' or 'demon' created the zombies decided that we poor saps should at least have a fighting chance to run for our lives. So they made zombies slow, so they could be out maneuvered singly, but quickly overwhelming in massive crowds. Perhaps it was a merciful decision (god), or perhaps it was desired for the zombies to chase around their prey for a while causing them to suffer more before finally being devoured (demon or very vindictive god). Well, that's my take on it anyways.
