Yep, the fifth row wasn't even safe from the flying blood during the masacre scene. It was like disapearing ink however and by the time I got out of dinner it was gone. I think we got sprayed but the blood that comes from Zombie Sisters nether regions.


And yes Shemp is a Stooges term. For the full reason pick up Bruce's first book. Abbreviated however is that back when Shemp was a stooge he left some of the shorts uncompleted when he died. So they went back in and refilmed some of the violence with "Shemp's" back to the camera and in these shots it's very obviously a fake shemp...hence the title. They gave the title to any crew member who had to do a reshoot for a cast member that had gone home. Alot of the zombie shots in the first movie and some in the second are very obviously different people from shot to shot....hence fake shemp.....yeah thats pretty much the whole thing, but still go pick up If Chins Could Kill.

I loved when Coker popped out of the basement and threw a cup of blood at someone.

Thanks for that info, Carl. Now I love the term "fake Shemp". I never hear anyone say it but I'm going to start!

"I loved when Coker popped out of the basement and threw a cup of blood at someone."

She definitly was the standout. I hope we get to see more of her in the future.

it's funny when you're in the mezzanine. You can look down and see someone handing Jen the cup of blood for her to throw!

I sat front row of the mezz, great seat.

I didn't see that. But I saw someone hand her the bucket of popcorn.

"I thought Salmonella was a type of dinosaur..."

Stupid bitch!

It always works! Was that line in the movie?

[Dollypop]

I thought the line was "What a stupid bitch!"

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 2/20/07 at 10:04pm

Yeah, so?

Too much to type each time!

Besides...stupid bitch is the funny part!

I think there's a certain rhythm to "What a stupid bitch!" that made it funny every time it was repeated.

The rhythm of a line really contibutes to its effectiveness.

Of course, you could just go though life repeating the phrase "stupid bitch" over and over agaain and people whill realize you ARE one.

It was the rhythm that made it funny. Plus the delivery.

Plus the fact that she really was a stupid bitch. Until she jumped...oh, the bouncing!

BS0, didn't you just love her energy? She amazed me every time I saw her.

Well, I didn't see "her" since she broke her leg (?).

I liked the understudy, though...

My favorite line has to be "Who's the stupid bitch now scotty? WHOS THE STUPID. BITCH. NOW?"

Do you think they'll ever publish the script?

"Well, I didn't see "her" since she broke her leg (?). "

Jenna didn't break her leg. I thought you posted that you liked Jenna Coker. She's the original Cheryl. Her understudy was...well, never mind.

Oh, Jenna! Hellz yeah she was fantastic. She brought it, for sure.

I thought you meant the actress playing Shelly - cause I was just talking about her and her bouncing. WEEEEEEEEEE!

[Carl Magnum]

Posted: 2/21/07 at 10:07am

I feel sorry for Jenna's understudy. I'm sure she's a good actress...but having to follow that performance has got to be impossible, especially for anyone who has seen Jenna.


Yeah there was nothing wrong with Shelly and her bouncing bouncing bouncing....I loved the costume ripping bit in the second act too.....bouncing....bouncing

I agree Carl, but I think whomever plays that role MUST be a strong dancer, and she wasn't.

Did anyone else think the theatre smelled like a frat house? It was like being home again!

The guy next to me was drunk by the end of the show.
