The Social Network vs. Zombieland SMACKDOWN
With the Facebook IPO consternation, coupled with news of certain Zombie-like events in the U.S., it is time for a SMACKDOWN of two movies that are bursting with mysterious parallels.
 |  | Commentary | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Movie Theme | Zombies have taken over the world | Social networking has taken over the world | There's always someone with dreams of world domination. |
| Star |  |  | Jesse is shown in these pictures with two "Z"'s: Zombie and Zuckerberg. Go ahead...you can figure it out. Jesse was also the voice of Blu in Rio...redemption! |
| Sidekick |  |  | Coming soon: a Woody Harrelson vs. JT SMACKDOWN...not! |
| Star cameo |  |  | Murray's Zombie disguise was classic, as was the line about GARFIELD. Ms. Amirav is a star in her native Israel with a small part in this movie, but, dressed almost like a zombie, her public service announcement on Domestic Abuse is powerful and moving. |
| Quote that should be from the other movie | "Without friends, you might as well be a zombie." | "Hey man, sorry. A couple of girls are freshening up in there." | Can't pay for marketing like that! |
| Superhero connection |  | | Though not a fan of reboots (which usually means (a)need more money or (b)it stunk the first time), I'm a fan of anything Ms. Stone is in...as long as she's carrying a shotgun. Gwen Stacy with a shotgun...yum! |
| Best Facebook IPO Quote | "Time to nut up or shut up!" | “They’re suing me because for the first time in their lives, the world didn’t work the way it was supposed to for them.” | 'nuff said. |
| Least likely to occur in a million years | That a geek like Columbus (Eisenberg) would be lucky enough to get a babe like Wichita (Stone) as his last girl on Earth. | That a geek like Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) would be lucky enough to get a company like Facebook to IPO |
