Sequel to what you said?

Couple of points.

Can my fave Peter Jackson movie before Lord of the (gags) Rings be Meet the Feebles.

I do love the runners as opposed to the slouchers when it comes to zombies. I have had horrible nightmares about zombies and theyu always run.

I love CGI when used right.

Other than that great list.

A few I would add is:

Refuse to see quarantine as it seems pointless unless you are illiterate.

Hate that now a vampire movie is almost exclusivly targeted at the same audiences that watch soap operas.

Think that Dead Set might possibly be the greatest T.V. show ever.

You know you're a horror movie geek if you've seen the same horror movie 20 times and still yell at the girl that the monster is right behind her or do a face palm when the people go into dark woods, rooms, any dark place in general.
