I'm not talking about people I really know. It's a given I'd run around with the kiddo and my closest friends (if they're still alive, that is). I'm talking about people that don't really exist outside my TV screen. Because well, they're fictional. But if they were real and there were zombies about, I'd
1) As much as I love The Walking Dead, I'd avoid every single person that belongs to the little group of survivors. Except for Cletus, ahem, excuse me, Daryl, Carol and Glenn. They are the only people that still have and make common sense. Everyone else is either too whiny, psychotic, or just unfriendly. The three of them don't always need to resort to violence at every turn, like some people. *Ahem* Shane. Plus, Daryl has a bow and arrow (and is just a little bit yummy in that bad boy kind of way). And I would make a point to ignore everyone else in their band of merry craziness and just kidnap the 3 of them. Everyone else they hang out with are too rash and, well, idiotic. I avoid stupidity in everyday life, so a zombie apocalypse is no exception.
2) Shaun from Shaun of the Dead would be the first person I look up. He's all kinds of awesome. Especially his record fighting zombie skills. That would come in handy in many situations. And Shaun's just pretty much the sh*t. He could keep everyone's spirits up by convincing them to go to the pub.
3) From Dawn of the Dead, I'd pick Ana, Michael, Kenneth and C.J. I would leave behind that red-haired girl, Nicole, just because she went after that damn dog (that would have been fine, but she was a total idiot). I'd like to not travel around with senseless people. Ana and Michael could help repopulate the earth (if he wouldn't have been bit by a zombie, that is). Kenneth and C.J. were just very cool under pressure, which I admire. C.J started off as a total douche, but he really redeemed himself in the end.
4) 28 Weeks Later is next on my must-have list. But . . . . the only person that actually impressed me was Doyle. Not because I think he's a hottie and I'm totally biased. I'm not. Who could say no to having Jeremy Renner around? I mean, an Army sniper would always come in handy. He can handle a weapon and handle it well, so he would be very useful to have around. Because he can handle a weapon. Yeah, that's why. Ahem.
5) Zombieland was on par with the rules to live by in a zombie apocalypse, and it also had one of my favorite zombie killing-Twinkie loving people, Tallahassee. Who wouldn't want him and his mourning over his "puppy" to hang out with? And his zombie killing via banjos? Awesomeness.
6) Now I know Resident Evil isn't really considered a zombie movie, but I kinda consider them zombies. They feed on people and then those said people die and come back to life trying to eat other people. So. While most people would think Alice is my beloved character from the series, in actuality, she is not. I heart Rain and she is a kick ass female. And Carlos (because he's yummy and he was in more than Resident Evil movie). They're my go to people in the series (yes, I'm super excited about the two of them reappearing in Resident Evil: Retribution. Even if they're coming back on the evil side of things.
Apparently in the case of a zombie apocalypse, I'd only want to surround myself with people that are competent enough to take care of themselves and not completely selfish that they wouldn't help out others. And they all have to have common sense. A zombie apocalypse is the worst time to lack common sense. That's probably why some people I know would never make it through a ZA in one piece. :D
