I just realized, many years later, there's a major flaw in the entire concept of the Walking Dead.

If you get scratched or bit by a walker, you turn. Why? They all already have the "virus" inside them to turn when they die. So a simple bite that's in no way lethal has no reason to suddenly make you die or turn as it's not injecting you with anything you don't already have.

Never gave it much thought. I always just assumed zombie bites are poisonous.
 
But it would be like being exposed to small pox when you've had the vaccine.

And the scratch thing makes no sense. Oh no, a fingernail got me!

It might make sense if the wound turned gangrenous or something, but then it'd take days or even weeks to die and turn.

I always thought the whole "everyone's already infected" thing to be a dumb idea. This virus does nothing to a person until they die? How does it spread, then, and how did everyone on earth get infected?

For sure going to see that, just showed the first one to my son. He was reluctant to watch it, but of course loved it, Waterboy as well. Still need to show him Billy Madison.
 
No wedding singer??

HG and WS are some of my fave dumb comedies along with zoolander to watch after a shit day. I don't normally like sequels but it seems like netflix has given him a lot of control and his movies on there are by and large funny

He’s 10, I think Wedding Singer may be a little too mature for him, less slapsticky?? Wondering if Big Daddy (was that the name) is the same.

Yeah it was lame.
 
This is the first time I've ever seen this deleted scene....and shit, it's fantastic. I get they probably wanted to keep Pycelle's facade more vague, with only one really obvious example.....but this would have been one of the best scenes in the series if left in. Just like Tywin's first appearance scene while gutting the elk

 
If you were to make up a fake 80s tv show it would have this intro



I have zero memory of this existing

Me neither, but Google says it only aired 8 episodes over to months in 1985.

I thought Pesci was kinda out of acting between Raging Bull and Lethal Weapon 2.
