I will say, I thought similar thoughts nearing the end of the movie. But after analyzing it again, and incorporating two explainer video perspectives and takeaways, I realized that it didn’t suck as a movie. It just wasn’t what a lot of people thought the movie was going to be like. (There was also a fair amount of British symbolism throughout the movie. And as a US dude, a lot of it went right over my head.)

A lot of people (myself included at first) thought that 28 years later was going to have strong tension building, ‘not everyone is getting out of this alive,’ run and gun filming technique galore, and a lot of bloodshed. A tune to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. But we got something quite different from that. We got a movie that plays off the elements of parenthood, coming of age, morality dilemmas, empathy for Isla (the mother of Spike the boy), and many more things. It was a slower paced movie as the main characters weren’t having to fight, hide, and stay alive for another day. Remember, this movie is set 28 years… later. It’s stated in the movie at some point that nearly all of the zombies are dead now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s completely safe to go about your merry way. Infections still happen.

An element of sci-fi in the movie that I really appreciated was the evolved zombies. The ones that were part of the Alpha’s pack were quite different from the other zombies we saw earlier in this movie, let alone in the previous movies. These were smarter zombies. And I thought that was pretty cool.

One of the pillars of the movie, in my opinion, was what Dr. Kelson stood for and what he did. Dr. Kelson sees the infected and the humans as alike. His entire monument is in remembrance of all and features the bones of both. The infected are humans, but are sick. They can’t help it.

If you were confused about the ending, the connection was that the boy who escaped the zombie invasion of the house at the beginning of the movie, is now Sir Jimmy Crystal. The reason he and others are dressed up in colored track suits is because of its resemblance to the Telly Tubbies characters, which was the show the kids were watching at the beginning of the movie. It’s symbolic of holding on to your childhood.

So, as you can probably see now, the movie was set up with much deeper meanings and wasn’t your typical zombie movie.

Ayoo. Another Tom Scott fan. Rad!

Tom Scott for sure kept video quality high and standard over the years. I miss him.

Well…this “neat part” is really ruining my life.

Holy moly! This website is amazing. I wish it wasn’t hamstrung by Internet Archive’s rate limiting, though.

Congrats OP! Make the most of it. =)

I would very much like for you to stop tapping into my mind from now on. /j

My gawd! This whole situation makes so much more sense to me now.

They look like cigarettes to me.

My reasoning was, it seemed like one that wouldn’t die off in a year or less. Making it less of a hassle down the road when I need to start another account, add all or really all of the communities to my subs, and possibly having to transfer moderation to the new account.

In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.

I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.

I try to ask myself, “What else would I be doing if not this?” More often than not, it’s just ‘wasting time’ instead of creating something, connecting with someone new, passing on or absorbing knowledge from others.

I would suggest making sure your own expectations are in check before you start in. Example: ‘I have a desire to share and discuss topics of my interests, but it’s just going to be for a hobby. Not for making a side income or the like.’ This way, it’s clear to yourself, and there doesn’t have to be regret, disappointment, etc., later on.

So what’s your goal or intention for starting a “Linux, software, privacy, etc. guides” blog?
