    There you go. Spot on.

    (By the way, Fellas, a Real. Live. Female. gave us the best answer to the 'Sausage Party' question around here, and I'm the first one pointing that out, a page later?)

    But, yeah, in general, George Romero's movies have done a damn good job bridging that gap between Visceral thrills and Emotional development.
    That's why his films work so well, even with limited budgets.
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Look how popular Shaun of the Dead was with all genders- and no, not because Simon Pegg is cute, because there are plenty of films out there containing cute guys that most straight women nevertheless can't be arsed with!

    Humour made a big difference, but the slightly soap opera-ish drama probably helped too, imo.

    (For the record, I loved Shaun of the Dead but would rather eat a dirt sandwich than follow a soap, despite the best efforts of various female friends to get me "into" them!)

    That's it, innit? Take away the zombies and you have a pretty decent romantic comedy.

    Y'know...Spaced...

    ugh. what a fucking asshole that dude was. then he returned as svengoolie and got permabanned. he was one of the worst people i've ever run across on the internet.

    oh and for you newer guys, here's a choice bit of HLS, call it one of her greatest hits.

    Ahh the HLS, a fine example of walmart shopping, tin foil hat wearing overweight trailer trash with stalker tendencies! She added me on myspace once but after a quick glance over her profile as well as reading her posts on here, deletion followed pretty quick

    Yeah, he almost got me banned when i first showed up. This is before i figured out that he was a trouble maker and he was just trying to stick it to Neil. I didn't want any part of that.

    This was waaaaay back when we had the rep system. anyone remember that? Good riddance to it anyway. It was more trouble than it was worth.

    He was funny as hell though. When the flame wasn't directed at you personally that is.

    Yeah, I recognise the names HLS and DCburny from when I was a lurker, but I missed all of this drama. So please do give us a warts and all, in-depth account!

    I forget how and don't know why I put it together but I think Svengoolie was Tanner Boyle (or whatever that kid's name from Bad News Bears is) at Sphere Wars and over there he was a little brash and all "I love the 70s" but he didn't cause any trouble whatsoever.
