Jag vill klaga på zombiefilmer… Jag såg för mycket mycket längesedan den absolut första zombiefilmen och kanske den absolut första splatterfilmen (om man nu kan kalla det splatter?.. hmm jo för den tiden var det nog det.. ja vi säger så) som gjordes. Denna filmen är en riktig lågbudgetfilm (därav splatter?) och den är i svartvitt. MEN denna film kommer alltid att förbli den ultimata zombiefilmen för mig. Night of the Living Dead

Allt annat som gjordes efter denna är bättre eller sämre gjorda upprepningar. Jag gillar verkligen temat zombie. Det har en sådan härlig postapokalyptisk feel över sig. MEN (igen) det krävs ändå i dag liite mera än bara upprepningar för att jag ska tycka zombiekonceptet är klockrent.

 

Vi har redan sett alla dessa scenarion tusen gånger. Vi har :

En person som oförstående närmar sig en zombie i tron om att det bara är Herr Johansson (grannen) som är ute och…. Haltar?

 

En person vars älskade pojkvän/flickvän blivit riven av en zombie, men det är säkert ingen fara… det kommer snart läka…säkert bara ett paper cut…..eller?…….whaa!!!

 

En person som själv försöker dölja ett saftigt zombiebett på magen… jag mår bra… inte alls svättig…. Lalaa laa…BRAAIINS!

 

En redan infekterad men fortfarande levande person som hjältemodigt agerar cannon fodder med en shot gun i nävarna och en sista cigg i mungipan.

 

And so on och så vidare…

 

 

 

Men NÄR ska vi få följa detta underbara postapokalyptiska tema från Zombiernas sida?? Tänk att få uppleva allt genom en zombies ruttnande ögon.

Borde inte DEN filmen komma snart. Jag menar om första zombiefilmen kom på 60-talet så tycker jag faktiskt att det är dags att få se den andra sidan av detta event…..(den rätta sidan… VIKORY FOR SYLVANAS!!)

 

Min favorit zombiefilm :

 

Yea i know zombieland ska vara skit bra.. och jag skaaa se den. Den kommer att bli min sista zombiefilm (kanske) tills det att det kommer en ny med ett zombieperspektiv ;)

När jag ska resa utomlands gillar jag att ta reda på lite om hur kulturen i det landet jag ska besöka skiljer sig från den svenska.

Tex så skulle jag väldigt gärna vilja besöka Japan en vacker dag och man har ju hört  en massa om alla de bisarra etikettregler som existerar där. Man vill ju inte gå omkring där i samurajninja-kvarteren och förolämpa allt och alla.. det känns ju inte så smart så OM jag ska resa dit i framtiden kommer jag antagligen att kolla upp ett och annat.

Men så tänkte jag på alla som åker hit och turistar. Vad kollar dom upp? Finns det ens några sweden-guides? Sweden som är så tråkigt och plain.

Detta är vad jag hittade och det är väldigt underhållande måste jag säga! :

 

“So, I was wondering if anyone has experienced little culture shock with the table manners here in Sweden??? What I mean is that everyone in Sweden and most of Europe eat with the fork and the knife all the time throughout the meal and they hold the fork upside down. To me this is a very strange way of eating I dont think it looks so proper when they hover over the plate with the knife and fork in each hand. PLEASE NO ONE GET OFFENDED I AM NOT TRYINING TO OFFEND ANYONE, I myself and trying to get the hang of it so I can fit in, because I know that Swedes think when someone eats with only a fork most of the time its children. I think its very interesting how in America most people eat with the fork and scoop upwards not hold it upsidedown and use the knife only when they will cut a piece of meat. So just wondering what all of you americans think who eat with only the fork like I do. I am still trying to convert at least in public places or at dinners. BUT AT HOME I WILL EAT WITH MY FORK AND LOOK LIKE A CHILD IF THATS HOW THEY THINK HERE!! HA HA!!!”

. When eating, keep your hands in full view, with your wrists on top of the table.
. Do not start eating until the hostess has started.
. Do not take the last helping from a plate.
. Finish everything on your plate as it is considered rude to leave any food uneaten.
. It is important that you do not discuss business at the table as Swedes try to distinguish between home and work.
. Always write or call to thank the host / hostess within a few days of attending the dinner.

A butter knife is usually provided. Do not use a dinner knife for butter. (VIKTIGT)

Businesswomen may pay the check in a restaurant without any embarrassment.

. Personal space is important in Sweden and as such it is recommended that you maintain an awareness of someone’s personal space and that you do not invade it. Avoid any unnecessary touching

 

"And the Swedes are, hands down, the rudest people I have ever met. I assure you, you will experience more civility in a back alley in The Bronx, New York than in Stockholm.Somewhere in history, when the Swedish Kings were breeding blond hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders into their minions, they forgot to include social awareness, empathy, and common courtesy. Even the bartenders in Tijuana have the munificence to give you free shots of tequila, a pat on the back, and a big smile before they attempt to swindle you. The Swedes do it with a straight face and without a hint of sympathy. But the Swedes aren’t after your money; they’re after your space. If you happen to be occupying a space they want, be that in line for the bathroom, coat check, bar, or even at McDonalds, you’ll get boxed out quicker than you can say Shaquille O’Neal. In Sweden, its ‘first come, first served’, regardless of who’s in front of you"

When it comes to alcohol, Swedes are as double-natured as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Before work or driving, one beer is one too many, and drunk driving is a crime genuinely despised in Sweden. However, drunkenness can be a regular part of many Swedish traditions (e.g. Midsommar, Valborg, etc.) - keep this in mind if you abstain from alcohol. Some Swedes frown on people being sober at a party and reject excuses other than driving or pregnancy - though no formal policy exists that would force one to drink against their own will.

Tourists should stay clear of certain beaches if nudity offends them. As Swedes are open-minded people, tourists shouldn’t be shocked because it’s not unusual to see many sunbathers or swimming sunbathing or swimming in their birthday suits. In this country nudism is common, but the Swedes consider nudism (which they call naturalism) non-sexual.

Sweden - a country of numbers

Swedish people are reputed to be rigid and organized. Almost everything has a number. Swedish people have a ten-digit personal identity number (starting by date of birth in the form YYMMDD) used in contact with all kinds of government authorities, usually mentioned before the name. Customers in Swedish shops or bank need to take a queue number note from a machine to be served in order. Each product at Systembolaget is known for its product number (which is often easier to keep track of than foreign-sounding names), and the most important feature in selection is the alcohol content (often divided by price to find the most cost-efficient product). If you order a drink in the bar, be prepared to tell how many centiliters of liquor you want. Most grocers provide milk in four or more fat content levels (plus an organic version of each, barista milk and low lactose milk, not to mention filmjölk, yoghurt and all other milk products). Before going outdoors, Swedes check air temperature, and before bathing in open water, they check water temperature. Many Swedes also own barometers, hygrometers and rain gauges to support the eternal conversation about weather with statistics. In conversation about housing, Swedes define their flats by number of rooms (En trea - "a three" - is simply a three-room-and-kitchen flat) and usually ask each other about the area by square meter. They have week numbers running from 1 to 52.
