I’m going to see Zombieland tonight at 7:35PM. I’m so excited I’ve got goose-bumps. Speculation on who the “surprise cameo” is in the movie? Starting a thread now, looking forward to hearing everyones opinions when I get back tonight. MeanJoe ---

Yeah, I think we’re going to see it tonight at 7:30. Hope it doesn’t suck! ---

I’m looking forward to this. My friend’s comment: “No! Woody Harrelson is not allowed to be badass!” ---

> [@](#): > > My friend’s comment: “No! Woody Harrelson is not allowed to be badass!” Your friend isn’t much of a Woody fan then, are they? He was a bad ass in _Natural Born Killers_, kind of and a bad ass in _No Country For Old Men_. Nevermind that he died in NCFOM, I mean that’s kind of what happens when you run into Sugar. And I mean, a basketball hustler with Rosie Perez as a girlfriend in _White Men Can’t Jump_. How is that not bad ass too? ---

I saw an advanced screening last night and really enjoyed it. The cameo is funny, but took me out of the movie a little. My opinion seems to be the minority though, because I’ve read a few review where the reviewer LOVED the cameo. ---

Yeah, both the reviews as well as imdb spoil the suprise cameo. Still looks like a good movie. ---

> [@MeanJoe](#): > > Speculation on who the “surprise cameo” is in the movie? Alas, Roger Ebert just blatantly spoiled it in his review. He gave it a generally positive review, which is surprising considering his distate (excuse the pun) for zombies. ---

My husband and I are going tonight. I’m wearing my Halloween costume (Zoey from Left 4 Dead) and a couple of friends are dressing up as zombies. Super excited! 🙂 ---

Just saw it and loved it. I wish I had seen it with a crowd, as I saw the 6:00 PM show at the AMC Mainstreet theater in Kansas City, and there weren’t 30 people in a theater that holds nearly 300. I really wish I had been able to catch a midnight showing. I had no idea there would be a cameo, and was glad that I didn’t know there was going to be one. ---

We saw a matinee this afternoon, in a surprisingly crowded theater. Loved it. I didn’t know much about it other than the premise, so the cameo came as a complete surprise. Funny, funny stuff, and good zombies too. It was scarier making them so fast and nimble–a nice touch, I thought. The funniest thing was that we had to stop for groceries after the movie, and there was a bright yellow Hummer in the parking lot. I so wanted to paint 3s on the doors… ---

It’s funny as Hell. It’s a zombie movie for people wouldn’t normally like zombie movies - Zombie Lite. Are all the rules posted somewhere? ---

I hope it’s funny. Rented _Adventureland_ tonight, expecting it to be funny. One daughter claims she said, “No! It’s boring and about RELATIONSHIPS!” I guess I didn’t listen to her. ---

I just got back from seeing this film tonight. I thought it was great! It was hilarious and I loved the cameo appearance. Very unexpected! I must say that the film was much gorier than I expected. Not that I had a problem with that, I mean it’s a zombie film and all, but there was one scene at the beginning that was just so explicit. (Wear your seatbelts!) When I was walking out I passed a group of people waiting for the midnight showing that were all dressed as zombies! Complete with bloody faces and makeup and everything. ---
