Anything for a fix! But "Best usage of a Smiths song?" God! I missed THAT. Of course, my generation says "Best usage of a Queen song since...Live Aid 1985, yeah right?" Confess that you didn't get just a bit teary-eyed when Shaun kisses his loving wife Liz in their very upwardly mobile little London homeplace there with the Ikea style and all and tells her he's just gonna go out to the toolshed for a min and he does and that's when the camera cuts to [Interior Shot: Toolshed] Zombie Ed in chains ready to pick up the video game controls and join his buddy in whatever little run and shoot game they've been playing for these many years and the soundtrack bursts into "You're My Best Friend" by that very same Queen. But I did miss the Smiths song. Good thing the New Year's gift of Netflix is delivering a copy of Shaun of the Dead sometime later this month. I'll pay attention for that one this time. 686601@blogcritics.org Wed, 9 Jan 2008 18:56:07 EST
