I will say, I thought similar thoughts nearing the end of the movie. But after analyzing it again, and incorporating two explainer video perspectives and takeaways, I realized that it didn’t suck as a movie. It just wasn’t what a lot of people thought the movie was going to be like. (There was also a fair amount of British symbolism throughout the movie. And as a US dude, a lot of it went right over my head.)

A lot of people (myself included at first) thought that 28 years later was going to have strong tension building, ‘not everyone is getting out of this alive,’ run and gun filming technique galore, and a lot of bloodshed. A tune to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. But we got something quite different from that. We got a movie that plays off the elements of parenthood, coming of age, morality dilemmas, empathy for Isla (the mother of Spike the boy), and many more things. It was a slower paced movie as the main characters weren’t having to fight, hide, and stay alive for another day. Remember, this movie is set 28 years… later. It’s stated in the movie at some point that nearly all of the zombies are dead now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s completely safe to go about your merry way. Infections still happen.

An element of sci-fi in the movie that I really appreciated was the evolved zombies. The ones that were part of the Alpha’s pack were quite different from the other zombies we saw earlier in this movie, let alone in the previous movies. These were smarter zombies. And I thought that was pretty cool.

One of the pillars of the movie, in my opinion, was what Dr. Kelson stood for and what he did. Dr. Kelson sees the infected and the humans as alike. His entire monument is in remembrance of all and features the bones of both. The infected are humans, but are sick. They can’t help it.

If you were confused about the ending, the connection was that the boy who escaped the zombie invasion of the house at the beginning of the movie, is now Sir Jimmy Crystal. The reason he and others are dressed up in colored track suits is because of its resemblance to the Telly Tubbies characters, which was the show the kids were watching at the beginning of the movie. It’s symbolic of holding on to your childhood.

So, as you can probably see now, the movie was set up with much deeper meanings and wasn’t your typical zombie movie.

These dudes were definitely high on something when they saw this shit, then decided to write about it. What do you think the “burning bush” was actually?!?

Well…this “neat part” is really ruining my life.

Holy moly! This website is amazing. I wish it wasn’t hamstrung by Internet Archive’s rate limiting, though.

"The Internet Archive is rate limiting and then blocking this site due to increased usage. I have reached out to them. I also need to make some changes with this service to avoid hammering their API. Please check back after I’ve been able to get this fixed. "

Congrats OP! Make the most of it. =)

I would very much like for you to stop tapping into my mind from now on. /j

LOL. I was wondering why the Angel Macoroni Moroni was being used on a space themed poster. Looked down to see Joe Miller from The Expanse, and it started to make sense for me. I had forgotten that the Mormons were depicted in that series.

I’m very much a Jon Snow when it comes to how DDoS mitigation, DNS, etc, etc., actually work. But surely there are other corporations that offer the same services that work just as good or better than Cloudflare, no?

In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.

I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.

HOLY MOLEY!! Look, I’m not you… But I am you in some ways. (348 games and I’ve probably only played 100 or so more than 5 hours, and the rest have less time or no time on them.) Make sure you remove your card info from Steam, so it’s one step you have to do if you were to be tempted to buy another game, to ‘collect dust.’

Stay strong.

Define “proper channels” for me.

That show is totally worth watching all the way through IMO. I liked season 1, but season 2 is probably my favorite in terms of story. Keep at it. =)

You can tend to find season recap videos for TV shows on Youtube. It’s been really useful for me, when I want to see the next season that came out but don’t really recall much of what happened since I last watched it.

100% agree. A lot of my favorite subreddits, were over 9 years old! “The Great Lemmy Migration” (aka Reddit Third-Party App Fiasco) only happened less than 3 years ago. Plus, the internet has so many more places to congregate in since 9 years ago. So Lemmy’s numbers are probably going to be lower overall, even with years passed. Which I’m totally fine with. I’d like for it to grow more in good content shared by more people on here, versus low quality content. This should come with time.

Just this morning, while watching a saved Youtube video on my phone, I had a bad experience that had me really wish there was a solid contender to Youtube as it’s really gone to shit with its user experience. You watch a skipable ad at the beginning that can be skipped after 5 seconds. It’s for a major jewelry store chain. I’m a dude who doesn’t own nor care to own a watch, necklace, etc. anytime soon. I’m also not seeing anyone. Haven’t mentioned online or in text of marriage or the like. So why am I seeing an ad for this?? Tap the tiny info icon near the number of ads, to see why this ad was targeted at me. “Age group.” FFS.

Skip ad and start into video about space and what’s beyond our solar system. Two minutes or so in, pop out ad appears on my phone screen while the video is still playing. “Gahhh.” Close it. Two minutes later, another broadly targeted ad. “What the heck Why am I seeing a perfume ad?” Skip ad after five seconds. Return to the video that only has about 8 minutes left. Three and a half minutes later, pop out ad. Close ad. Continue watching. Pop out ad shows up. This time, I don’t see an “X” to close it. “Wtf? Why can’t I close it?” Start thinking that I might need to exit fullscreen to see the exit option. Do so, but it’s being finicky. Phone won’t auto rotate now. Try to fix it. Finally get it to work and close the ad that now takes over the comment section and video suggestion just below the video. Close it. “Seriously, someone really needs to become a competitor to Youtube! This shit is outrageous now!”

This seems like the best time to start watching PeerTube videos first, then deal with the hell hole that is Youtube now, if I want to watch more content.

For sure post it to [email protected]

This party sucks… but I seem to keep visiting again and again.
