Officer Ronnie Peterson: Gee, Mindy, I'm not sure I can say that.

Officer Mindy Morrison: Cliff? Please?

Officer Ronnie Peterson: [holding a head] For now they're just dead hipsters, but they haven't turned yet. It can take a while.

Chief Cliff Robertson: [serenely about zombies at the door] Well, look at all of you. So very ravenous, yet well past your expiration date.

[draws her sword]

#72nd Cannes# In a sense, it is still a pretty good opening film, with a unique temperament and enough celebrities and directors. The look and feel is not bad, it is a zombie film full of cold jokes and fandom. Excerpt a few lines: "This is too George Romero."|Bill Murray: "Why are you so calm?" Adam Driver: "Because Jim read me the script." (Pointing to the director's meta-narrative hahahaha ). At the end, Bob, the hermit played by Tom Weitz, also came to a narration poem... But the problem is that the play really has some WTF, and Jia Muxu has no desire to make the story round (presumably he has no idea to win... ), all my energy is spent on telling cold jokes. Taking genre routines to tease is probably the biggest attraction of this film.
