And now for something completely unrelated:

So I saw, like, the last ten minutes of this movie, which was completely amazing, and if you knew about it, to hell with you for not telling me about it's glory; if you didn't know about it, then I think you should go to your little netflix cue or your video rental store or download off the internet the next time you're like, "hey, I feel like watching something awesome," and then thank me for it.

This little Canadian film gem is about zombies. I know. Awesome already, right?

Let me paint the picture of where I came in, late last night, flipping through channels, before I went to bed.

1950's neighborhood, all gaudy and pastel a la Edward Scissorhands. Boxy paddy wagon complete with bars on the back windows, slamming shut, we see blue faced FIDO (both literally and figuratively, as this particular zombie is bummed to be imprisoned) thrown in the slammer. Little Timmy runs across his perfectly manicured lawn to the street, screaming "FIDO! NOOO!" But it's too late. Fido is already being taken away.

Enter fedora capped trench coat donning government official. He's here to inform Timmy he's done a very bad thing, and dutifully scolds little Timmy that because of his carelessness people in the neighborhood have died. But, lucky for Timmy, his parents assured the government nothing like this will ever happen again, and Father appears in the street to subsequently send Timmy to his room.

Spoiler alert!

Fido is freed from the Zombie internment camp by shotgun wielding Mother, who turns out to be that black haired chick from House, and Father dies I think from the gun that he gave 9 year old Timmy, but I can't be sure. Then Fido marries mother and takes over as head of the household. The little neighbor girl gets her own zombie, who she carries around on a chain leash, whom she assertively and kinda masochistically calls "Daddy."

Favorite line: [mother to father]: "Bill, just because your father tried to eat you, does that mean we all have to be unhappy... forever?!"

I'm in love.
