To no surprise, I have never seen The Land of the Dead. Like every other movie that I have never even heard of. I don't usually like movies that are about zombies or dead people, although I do usually like seeing a good horror film. I think that Land of the Dead was a fairly good movie. It was kind of weird how the movie starts without telling you what is going on, they just suit up and are off to fight the zombies. Usually movies show some sort of backround before jumping in. I also don't understand how if a zombie is dead, how do you get rid of them by killing them? Can't they just become zombies again?
Research papers are not usually the easiest for me; I am much better at forming my opinion with some minor fact thrown in. I have the problem that researching takes time, and I don’t really have any. Looks like I’m going to spend this weekend in front of my computer.
I’m not yet sure of what I am going to write my paper on. Regardless of what topic I choose, there will still be a lot of research that comes along with it. I’m undecided between the race/gender/sexuality/social class, American horror films, (Since I don’t know any, it would be interesting to learn some) and George Romero’s filmography. I don’t know though, don’t be surprised if my paper isn’t written on any of these topics.

The movie didn't actually jump in without telling you what was going on. There was that whole montage of news reports at the very beginning that explained what had happened, and then they have that intertitle that says, "Today." Then the movie starts.
Also, zombies are technically undead. Although the films never give an actual explanation (other than that there is no more room in hell), the most commonly circulated explanation is that there is some kind of virus that reanimates the "lizard brain," the most primitive part of the human brain that controls only the most basic human urges: breathing and eating. I'm pretty sure zombies don't poop.
Of course, zombies are also a part of several more occult religions, and they have a different explanation . . .
