This one was a good one… In the words of Mitch Hedberg

Sometimes in the middle of the night, I think of something that’s funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen’s too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain’t funny.

Except this one was a zombie movie… :-P

The idea is written on the e-ticket as “TechnoZombie”… but the ideas that stem from it are too awesome to all write down on one peice of paper.

The TechnoZombie would be part cyborg, in essence very Borg like, their remaining organic flesh begins to rot and decay like a normal zombie, but their cyborgness adds to their non-human-ness…

While the normal zombie would be at home in a shopping mall (*bows toward Romero*), the technoZombie would take over either positions that robots would do today (like car manufacturing) or programming jobs (desiring brains to add to a collective… but that is a bit too borg-y)…

As social commentary, the technoZombie could again symbolize the mass consumerism that surrounds the electronics and entertainment industries.

Additionally, I think the best way to portray this type of movie would be from the viewpoint of someone who was human, but was one of the first people to get a new type of cybernetic enhancement. As the story progressed, the character would loose his open-mindedness (or perhaps it would become more open through a hive-mind like collaboration *something that isn’t shown often*). Actually, I like the idea that he becomes more creative more… as it replicates much of the memes and mashups of today.

One more extra bit… technoZombies love quoting things. *stares at Matt*
