Father McGruder kicks ass for the lord!

So I was thinking about my favorite PJ flick, Dead Alive, and the priest in Dead Alive is awesome, because before turning into a zombie himself, he helps fight them. After a breath-taking front-flip into a church graveyard infested by zombies, Father McGruder quoths “I kick ass for the lord”.

I’ve always thought it would make a great T-shirt. So I designed one and submitted it to Threadless (http://www.threadless.com). It staggers me that some people don’t know what important contributions Peter Jackson made to film before creating The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Somepeople – Hi! Look at me! My favorite movie is The Lord of the Rings! Actually, it’s a trilogy! Isn’t that swell. It was directed by Peter Jackson! He’s going to make King-Kong! I love kitties.

Naked Brain News – That sure is swell Somepeople. What are even sweller are the movies PJ made before LOTR.

Someone – What? You mean he’s made other movies? Gee golly, I didn’t even know.

NBN – Indeed he has. PJ lives in a magical place called New Zealand, where he made fucked up zombie movies from 1987-1992, and they are magical. Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, and Braindead, which in America is known as Dead Alive. In fact at one point in Dead Alive a zombie nurse and a zombie priest have sex, zombie style. Also an elderly lady zombie eats a dog and then gets it pulled back out of her throat by her tail (this triggered my gag reflex) oh, they put a baby in a blender too, just for good measure. In Meet the Feebles a cat muppet gives a walrus muppet a bj. I guess the academy gave him the award for ROTK to make up for neglecting his more academic films.

Someone – You’re sick man! Peter Jackson would never put a baby in a blender. Hobbits are good people with happy feelings all of the time. The Lord of the Rings is beautiful, not disgusting… and you’re stupid to think that Gimli would give Treebeard a blow job… I mean, who would want twigs stuck in their teeth anyway?

NBN – What about Gandalf?

Someone – What? Gimli give Gandalf a bj?

NBN – Actually, other way arou… nevermind. If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, make sure not to miss the great Peter Jackson classics, with special effects headed by Richard Taylor, supervisor of the WETA workshop!
