Movie Appreciation: Friday, 4/3/09, Period 3
Mr. Dex wasn't in the classroom today. Instead, assorted sports equipment was piled in a large box near the door and Tony stood at the front of the room bouncing a cricket bat lightly against his hand.
"Mr. Dex was kinda busy, so he asked me to cover," Tony said. "So, okay, when weird sh- stuff goes down, there's not usually a lot of reliable information. You gotta go to the folklore to find anything useful. In the old days, they told stories around the campfire, but now our folklore gets filmed in full technicolor. The movies are full of zombie stories. I've got a few clips here to show you and then whoever's actually faced the ones outside can tell us how accurate they are. Maybe the movies'll give us some ideas how to deal with these things."
He showed clips from Vaughn of the Dead: fighting zombies and blending in; Against: fighting zombies with guns and 31 Days After: an infected soldier.
Tony gestured at the box of sports gear. "Dinah and I found this stuff in storage, so if you don't have anything to fight with, go ahead and grab something from here. Not saying you should run out and find something to fight; just be ready. And be safe." A couple of baseball bats and hockey sticks were visible on top of the pile, but Tony and Dinah had grabbed whatever they could find, so there was all kinds of totally moddable stuff if you looked through it. There were golf clubs, padding, helmets, cleats and even a bowling ball.
