[Konvas] Zombieland (Completely Off Topic)

[James Compton]

  Adam,

  Being a fan of zombie flicks, I very much enjoyed Zombieland.
100% popcorn. The shot where Woody is hanging off the rollercoaster spraying the zombies with an uzi.. GOLDEN !!!!! It was very easy to tell 
the movie was shot digital. Genesis was my first guess. There were certain scenes when they slipped in some 35mm, and my eyeballs relaxed a
bit. The roadside terrain and urban locations were a dead giveaway for Georgia- especially the Georgia Power sign in the shot downtown across
from Woodruff Park. They really messed up toward the end when the group
heads to a certain celebrities' house. The shot driving though the  
neighborhoods are clearly soCal. When they pull into the mansion, and
later dump the body- no palm trees, nor any trees native to California
are in the yard!!  Oh well, Hell's Bells... I liked it though.
