Comments on: Neurobiology of zombies and other movie science, coming soon to a theater near you http://boingboing.net/2011/01/12/the-neurobiology-of.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Cochituate http://boingboing.net/2011/01/12/the-neurobiology-of.html#comment-993352 Cochituate Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-993352 A bunch of us in Southern New England, about 35 years ago packed a picnic lunch and went to a screening of Nigh of the Living Dead. We sat in the front, and passed sticks of bread, and hard salamis and cheeses and that sort of thing, and it horrified the folks around us to the point that they complained about it to management. Two ushers came out and laughed at what we were doing and left us alone, after we'd shared some of our goodies with them. I have no memory of what the movie was like; that was the only time I've ever seen it.

I loved that movie. May I suggest pairing Alton Brown and Eat Drink Man Woman? I loved that movie.

Well, that or a halloween party with friends. Same difference.

It's very, very good -- plus, you'll have the nostalgia factory. The Alton Brown suggestion is a fantastic one! They could run a series showing Like Water for Chocolate, The Age of Innocence, Cilantro y Perejil, just to name a few.

I wonder if pairing up numerical methods with 'Pi' would make the film more or less understandable?
