SHOW SOME FUCKING BALLS FOR ONCE HOLLYWOOD BEFORE THE UNDEAD BITE THEM OFF. Oh! too late I see.</p>

I'm dying to respond to your imputed spoilers, bu that'd spoil the film for youse puntes - suffice it to say, it's not quite as dire as all that. In fact, there may even be a bit of a surprise (I was quite gratfifed by one element of it, anyway).</p>TimT commented on 'THE YOMEGA MAN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54fc710d388342007-12-27T09:20:12Z2007-12-27T09:20:12ZTimThttp://willtypeforfood.blogspot.comDitto, tONY.

He was toting some sort of enormous firearm and limping his way down Madison Avenue towards St Patricks Cathedral. Looked quite odd at the time sans all the speccy effects they have no doubt added to the scene.</p>
<p>The thing that strikes me as surprising is the lead time on these Hollywood blockbusters, given that was a good 14 months ago.</p>
