Cockneys vs. Zombies Redband Trailer
on August 14, 2012 at 3:00 amCockneys Vs. Zombies looks kinda like “Shaun of the Dead” but more shooting, old people, and weird British swearing. It’s a nice trailer, and this is clearly meant to be a comedy. I do like the old guy with the walker trying to get away from the zombies. That was amusing.
Cockneys Vs. Zombies is something I’ll keep my eye open for. Only one weird thing about this trailer, the Cockney accent. That is not exactly the most intimidating accent I’ve ever heard.
Look, when James Bond roles up gets all “Britishy” (Is that a term) you know he’s a badass and someone’s going to die. But when I listen to a Cockney accent I can’t stop picturing Dickensesque street urchins begging for coins and trying to shine my shoes. Also I’m not entirely sure what some of those British slang terms mean, but If you call me a tart or a muffet I’m just going to laugh at you.
I’m aware that this will probably get me punched in the nose one day and that I’ll deserve it.
Watching “Cockneys Vs. Zombies” has suddenly made me very paranoid of my own accent…..
I’m over it now. I’ve decided that my own humble accent is rugged and super manly. Just listening to my gruff voice has been known to make chest hair spontaneously grow on those within earshot…. Including the ladies.
And with that disturbing image I’m going to bed, because it’s late and I’m getting silly.
The other day I was briefly tempted by the asylum knockoff of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies.
Cockney accent not intimidating??? Hang with some soccer hooligans and you might change your mind.
Oh there is no doubt I’m going to find the soccer hooligans intimidating, but I’d find them intimidating no matter how they sounded.
However, come on, getting called a tart or a muffit (whatever that is) doesn’t really inspire fear or anger, but mild amusement.
I Must See This Film!!!!! This looks like SUCH a hoot! I love the idea of the old folks’ home taking up weapons – never underestimate the anger of the elderly! And no, the cockney isn’t intimidating, any more than a southern drawl is intimidating; but it does the job in establishing that these are workin’ joes, not a bunch of hoity-toits trying to save the wold. Ye-haw!
