This guy looks like he's from the same troupe as the guys who brought us Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz. Fucking awesome...

Is that Shaun of the Dead guy on every british comedy show?

LOL. Kudos for using Shaun of the Dead to make a point---and for not invalidating that point in the process.

"Smart people have an easy time convincing things to stupid people"

This is not the case. The only people I can think of that have ever changed their mind on anything at all significant are the very, very smart.

Your average person forms their opinions incredibly quickly and with barely any thought, usually based on the attitudes of their peers, and then immediately becomes unshakeable in those opinions. Witness the power of the factoid; the standard moron overhears something in the pub one night, that people only use 10% of their brains or that dogs can't look up and spends the rest of their life parroting it like an expert. Tell them it's a myth and they'll defend their delusion with all the vehemence and conviction of a pro-wrestler, probably without even being able to remember the original source of the idea. How much more difficult then to convince someone they're wrong about a belief they've held deeply all their lives.

is that the guy from Shaun of the Dead?

Is that the guy from Spaced and Shaun of the Dead? Always with Simon Pegg?

Ditto. These 3 films from the UK rescused the horror genre for me.

1. 28 Days Later.
2. Dog Soldiers.
3. Shaun of the Dead.

I recommend all 3 to any true horror fan. Unless you prefer mindless shite like Hostel.

Saw it in the cinema when it was released and it was superb! Probably one of the best horror films ever, and certainly one of the best zombie films (along with Shaun of the Dead, natch).

The pace and direction is stunning.

Well worth picking up a copy of the DVD if you've not seen it.

It says Shaun of the Dead = instant upvote

An incredible mashup of Shaun Of The Dead zombie film & Grandmaster Flash - White Lines...It fits beautifully! (here's one of the White Lines references in the film, via a funny dirty-NSFW/clean-Funky comparison clip!)

"SHAUN" of the dead sir.
