Good grief, to say the least.

Can you BELIEVE you are seeing this on TV?

"How the radical left took over cable news"
George Bush speaking on the soldiers. News manipulation, this is good stuff.

The distorted Time Magazine cover of Ann Coulter's spindly legs maybe? :rofl:

And to think, Thea Gill was such a level headed lesbian on Queer as Folk.

my cable system isn't having a free showtime weekend.

One of the left reporters is having an affair with the anne coulter character a "scank"


Now we have walking zombie soldiers digging up their graves and busting out of Dover Air
force base.

because that i would be willing to pay for.

He votes and then dies, voting kills them...she puts a" I voted" sticker on his dead body.

"Islamfacism, athesits liberals, not even death will stop the march of freedom"
they are using the all the talking points.

Already watching National Geographic Channel's "Inside 911" so I don't have it on Showtime right now.

I think we get a free preview showing of Showtime till the fifth so I can try to catch it and video tape it.

the lead dead soldier says "we will vote for anyone who ends this evil war"

the religious right thought they were on their side and now think they are demons.

Let's just try to ignore them like we do the rest of the soldiers"

The election takes place in 2008, A must, must see show.

WOW.

every published fact, story, article, editorial, speech or documentary produced in the last 4 years.

this is why progressives message to the other side always goes ignored, its not being put in the medium that Joe Six pack consumes.

Sounds like it is now.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY believe
that this ONE hour movie will impact
the masses more than ANYTHING we have
seen.
Here's hoping and KUDOS to
the writer, director and Showtime!

all cummin back daid, and they com backa life as zombies all pissed off an' shit.
You don't think they'de really do that do you Bubba? cuz it was skeery shit.
Man, I hope them zombies dont come here after us an all, that would suck.

Lets go git a beer.







Sadly, tomorrow morning, somewhere in America, this conversation will take place.

I can't tell if this is brilliant or stupid. But... geez, wow.

is so true to form. LOL.

Anyone else want to smack Jane around like a whole lot?

You can tell by the oily smear it leaves behind. :-)

BWAHAHAHA!
BHN

WATCH IT! I set it to DVR. I'm watching and... wow. It's incredible, deranged, simply brilliant. Everyone on DU should watch this.

Free Showtime if you have cable, just turn to the Showtime channel, it should tune in, give you the programming without any hassle. I think the promotion lasts until the 5th.

WHERE have we heard that before???
BHN

in almost ever scene.

Don't you love how the Rove character just got killed?
Yippeeeee!
BHN

Some of us haven't watched it yet.

eyes out for lying to him...........

It's pretty good....

This was all written BEFORE Cindy and Casey ever hit
the news...
What was that quote by Oscar Wilde
about life imitating art?
Or was it that art imitates life-
No matter, the case has been made tonight for
all the world to see and we have Showtime to thank for it.
BHN

Is Showtime the producer of this show? Will it ever show up somewhere else where I can watch it? (no free weekend for my cable co.)

I would imagine the entire employee base of
Showtime will be hauled to Gitmo after tonight!
BHN

before they disappear!

"they called for reinforcements..."
GO ZOMBIES!
BHN

We count the vote if the voters disagree we desagree tough shit we count the vote.

exit poll were all wrong now the republicans have won the election. 2008

the voting dead soldiers are now all coming back, including the dead from ww2, korea vietnam.

BWAHAHAH!
BHN

very chilling. deep, moving

A must see.

I took excessive glee in watching the Rove character get his head bashed in, by the Casey Sheehan character (I know, the movie was written before Cindy became well-known.

Everyone who missed it, see it tomorrow! Everyone who saw it, tell everyone you know to catch it tomorrow!

Wow! Just Wow!

The Man Coulter character was such an evil (offensive name for female body part frowned on at DU).

"We count the votes..."
Pointing to the election FRAUD!
Are you watching Andy?
Love,
BHN

If life could only imitate life.

this weekend. "...They do what all soldiers do...they call for reinforcements..."

But it also had so much truth in it. The free weekend and your update were good luck!

Amazing

There's also part of a clip that wasn't shown apparently

Terror and scandal grip the nation when the media discovers that the living dead have swayed the Presidential election. This adaptation of Dale Bailey's award-winning short story "Death & Suffrage" blends zombie horror and contemporary political satire with chilling results.

http://www.goldengryphon.com/resurrect-d&s.html

You know the joke about dead people voting in corrupt elections? In Chicago, perhaps? Dale Bailey has heard it, too. Except it prompted him to wonder what only a prolific horror writer could: What if the dead really could vote? The Lenoir-Rhyne English professor's answer to the question — a short story titled "Death and Suffrage" — has already earned him acclaim. Now, it's headed to the small screen. A television adaptation of "Death and Suffrage," renamed "Homecoming," will air this fall (around Halloween, naturally) as part of Masters of Horror, a Showtime series of 13 (of course!) hour-long films. All will be directed and written by prominent horror movie screenwriters and directors, including those behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, An American Werewolf in London and Poltergeist. Mick Garris, who has directed several Stephen King miniseries, is overseeing the entire project.

Bailey's story is about to begin production in Vancouver, British Columbia, Showtime spokesman Frank Marchesini said. It will be directed by Joe Dante, whose resume includes Gremlins, and scripted by Sam Hamm, who wrote the first "Batman" movie. Casting information was not available.

"I had seen all of these horror movies about zombies rising from the grave," Bailey said. "What they always wanted to do, apparently, is feast on human flesh. I was kind of fascinated with (was), what if they just wanted to cast their ballots?" The story opens on a presidential election day, when the dead approach the balloting station to vote and "throw the election into disarray," he said. And as it turned out, the tale eerily aligned with real events: Not more than a month after Bailey finished the story, the 2000 presidential election was also thrown into disarray, in Florida — minus zombie involvement, of course. (Or so we think!)

the Zombie G.A. Romero coming back from Arlington Cem.?Mmm, that's good social commentary, showing what a good zombie flick can really express (in the Romero tradition).
