    As a bonus, I remember watching Walker Texas Ranger with my father in law, amd the amount of times people had their sights on him and didn’t shoot him was ridiculous. He’d have died so fast.

    28 Weeks Later.

    After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.

    “Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”

    “My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”

      I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.

    Fight Club and the countless movies like it, which are character-driven and the character is driven by extremely maladjusted desires and behaviors.

    “Alright, but isn’t that being ableist in Fight Club’s case?”

    No, if both of the alters acted like normal people, you’d just have an especially weird buddy comedy with none of the conflict of the original movie.
