March 29 edit

Boomerang Shows edit

Do you know when Dennis the Menace is launching back on Boomerang? Because I'm ready to add more episodes of the Dennis the Menace and I've waited for over a year for it to come back on the air. So this here is the 1st time ever with my user web site, Since it may not air in the whole entire month of April, I feel like it's time for the show to re-launch it back on Boomerang in May Because I'm making a collection of Dennis the Menace episodes added on my DVD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TPIRfan6587 (talk • contribs) 02:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Finding out sales for older dvds and newer blu-rays edit

Hello, I'm working on the Scream (film series) article and I'd really like to be able to add information on home releases for the DVDs but I can't find anything. The only place that seems to be related to such a task is a place called http://www.the-numbers.com/ and it doesn't have the details for them, just a release date and it doesn't even seem to have them exactly right. So if anyone knows where I could obtain this information I'd be much appreciative.

And the Blu Rays only came out today but for the future does anyone know where I could look up sales for these as well?

Zombies prefer... edit

Whenever I see zombies in film and TV they nearly always chase humans in their thirst for human flesh and soft gooey brains. Why do they not seem to like animals or other zombies? Astronaut (talk) 15:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason depends on what type of zombies and why they are zombies.
  • Walking Dead zombies eat anything
  • Romero Zombies eat only humans but thats because there is a bunch of meta commentary on how humans are the real monsters and zombies eating humans is poetic and what not
Theres no answer you can get that will be genuine for ALL fictional zombies except that for film purposes its more dramatic to have humans eaten while having animals eaten alive generally just upsets/annoys people.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 15:21, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See also "To Serve Man" and "No Zombie Cannibals" (TV Tropes, once again). ---Sluzzelin talk 15:29, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dramatic license. A zombie horror film is not as scary if all the zombies kill each other off, or bypass the screaming buxom blonde and attack Fluffy and Fido instead. Usually there's some explanation of why they don't attack each other in that the (dead) zombies "hunger for living flesh", or there's some essential "something" about living brains which they have to consume in order to remain in their undead state. You could possibly extend the "essential something" to be particular to human brains, rather than animal brains, to explain why they don't attack animals, if you wanted. Different zombie movies will probably come up with different explanations (if they bother to have one at all). In the end, though, it all boils down to "because it's a better movie that way". -- 174.24.209.137 (talk) 15:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
