Peter Jackson, maker of Drive-in zombie classic
- Peter Jackson, maker of Drive-in zombie classic "Dead Alive" has returned to the Dark side with "The Zombit". Gollum's severed finger is an excuse for zombie-fu, elf-aardvarking
- martial arts action but with sharp teeth and strange orange eyes. Jackson is a quality director and the real selling point is the sword juggling
- sequence under the strobe lights. (True, he edited out the amputations of joints and whole fingers, but that part hardly competed with the flashy spectacle of the flying swords.)
- But then Quentin screamed, "Cut!" He'd all of sudden gotten sick of the whole martial arts thing. It was cheap. It was old. He was becoming a hack. He needed a huge dose of
- permethrin, a few lines of crypt dust, and maybe some Jane Austen and Tony Robbins. But a vaporous lady appeared and said, "Quentin, once you gave me this ..." But the music box
- suddenly stopped playing, and the lady vanished. Only her voice lingered, echoing in my mind... "Quentin, Quentin..." I looked about nervously, trying to understand whether
- the woman I had seen was real, some kind of psychotic fantasy, or a glimpse at the afterlife. Frankly, all three options were disturbing. "Pull yourself together, Quentin," I said
- I wondered if all the gruesome movies I had made triggered my subconscious into creating such a hallucination. I vowed to make no more movies like 'Kill Bill' or Pulp Fiction. Chi
- cago! (Now there's a film I wish they would have let me make! All those chicks in fishnets. Except Queen Latfah. I wouldn't have cast her. She gives me heartburn.) Yeah, Kill Bill
- was pretty obnoxious, but at least nobody talks about it anymore like Slenderman. Seriously, the video game industry's ruined by memes & pandering to base instincts & egocentrism.

Cool one. "Quentin, Quentin..." echoed down the halls of the National Film Registrty, but it was just a hallucination. Seriously, can we get Peter Jackson to direct "The Zombit"? Who's writing the screenplay?
