last night there was a big storm and a tornado warning in g-boro, so instead of tromping the halls of harris teeter, we stayed inside and watched 28 weeks later.
what did this film add to the post-zombie/t-virus genre? not much. all the characters are there: the good-hearted doctor, the sassy g.i., the loved-one turned killer. it had some decent breaking-into-the-hideout moments, but did nothing to further the medium.
okay, this is not a genre noted for brilliant plotting, but the holes in this piece were way...big. for example, a man just sneaks into the hospital room of the only survivor of the virus using a janitor's key card. (he gets infected.)
of course, the blurring between survival horror video games and post-zombie flicks is nearly complete. i can almost see the darkened foot of the stairs where the character would find KEY CARD and ascend to the cut-scene where the first zombie gets up from bed.
so, why am i writing at such length about 28 weeks later? b/c this boy is late for his appointment. egregiously late.
i was looking at the election returns this morning and i noticed something i'd never noticed before...guam has 9 electoral votes. are they a commonwealth? n.c. has their primary on may 6 and it's starting to look like it might even matter.
