What are we talking here? Man of Steel? My Super Ex Girlfriend? Ben Affleck's Daredevil?

I had to watch Mr. Nobody once. Out of all the Jared Leto films I've seen, that was an art house one.

I hope this version has more culturally relevant music that's vaguely matched to the scene in question.

Do you mean"impossibility" when you say "absurdity"? Within an anthropological context, it's not "absurd" to understand that people want to go on living even if you think there's no scientific basis for it happening.

Yes, I forgot the wounds. You don't need to play the "insensitivity" game for the sake of one-upmanship here where nobody thought we were talking about Hatian or Mesopotamian zombies. If you want to make the case that non-Romero zombies are part of the zombie zeitgeist right now, then have at you, but really: your…

But my original comment was about targeted mockery…

I stayed in an old hotel over the summer that had really old black and white photos up. I really, really wish I'd had an Overlook July 4 photo to leave there as a gag.

I was bored by most of the first episode until the last 10 minutes hit the accelerator. The show's been nothing but great since then.

Well, in context, zombies *aren't* people returned to life. They're a shambling mockery of life, a body without a soul, whereas the Christian resurrection is the full restoration of the body and soul. That's where the offense would come in, if a person wanted to seriously mock what the Christian resurrection is…

I hope that isn't something you'd seriously say at a Christian funeral…

You're aware that Christianity is wide and varied, though. I'm taking it from your posts that you have a monolithic notion of Christians as snooty white upscale Republicans, but it's much broader than that and you might consider that a swipe at the broader group you don't like is going to affect subcultural parts…

TBF, though, I don't think Jesus was in favor of delighting in an opponent's humiliation. (Not accusing you of that.) He was in favor of a level playing field, but this is the same guy who said "love your enemies." The Good Samaritain story isn't just about hypocrisy, but also about how you treat the people who…

I think he's saying "I'm picking on the as whole representatives of the majority." Though in fairness to you, it's often a blurry line where you have beliefs in common with the assholes. Told the wrong way, the joke can come off as a punch at the beliefs, not the asses.

Girard, thanks for the fair reply and the reader interaction. I hope "LOLZ" didn't mischaracterize your intent—I recognize that you're making an irreverent chuckle, and I'm good with that. The gag just brought to mind a lousy interaction with someone from this past Easter who, no kidding, was making Zombie Jesus…

Witch.

Oh, let's not play the "your hurt isn't that bad so STFU game." In the grand scheme of things, this is inconsequential and I can deal. That said, I don't like living in a culture that prides itself on cultural sensitivity and then caveats with "…except you guys, STFU."

Oh, yeah—if anyone here is going to a comic shop, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for me for this year's Halloween Comic Fest books which were put out yesterday. My shop didn't get all of them (or they gave away a bunch before I got there), so I couldn't get them all. The one's I'm missing are:
-…

I'm going to be charitable and assume the comic is going for the "LOLZ" here on the Jesus joke, but non-Christians who joke about "Hey, so Jesus was a zombie, right?" are completely missing the point of the concept of the Resurrection, and their intentional picking at it is really annoying. I knew a guy who loves to…
