BRAAINS! BRAAAAAAAINS!! ALSO SEX
Today's zombie news is about something many Americans consider to be innate: a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
LA Zombie is a gay, alien, and slightly pornographic zombie film by Bruce LaBruce, which gained a bit of notoriety when it was banned by the Melbourne International Film Festival last month.
Initially, this got me thinking about Americans' rights to free expression, along with rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and my initial reaction went something like "If it makes those Aussies happy to watch gay zombie porn, let'em watch it!" ... then I read the synopsis (courtesy of wikipedia).
A homeless schizophrenic (François Sagat), thinks he's an alien zombie sent to earth. Roaming the streets of Los Angeles in search of dead bodies (either finding the bodies or witnessing a murder), trying to bring the dead back to life by engaging in homosexual sex.
... and that is just the tip of the iceberg!
The problems Australia's "decency police" seem to have with the film spring from all the fatal wound penetration, necrophilia, full frontal nudity, etc. taking place on a 40' tall screen (in stunning HD!).
So, yeah ... not much to defend there, but I'm too busy thinking about hot zombie actors with scalp tattoos to care. LA Zombie Hardcore is slated to come out after Halloween - see you at the premier!!
Alternate title: 28 Gays Later.
