This was waiting for me in today’s mail alongside a screener of Survival of the Dead:
I may be a bonehead and an unappreciative swag recipient but I was a little put off when this head item attacked my sight from inside the box it shambled into my house from. Survival of the Dead is the latest underbudgeted George Romero zombie movie, somewhat hot on the heels of the not good Diary of the Dead (which was hot on the heels of the quite good Land of the Dead). Even though I know that the funding for movies often comes from a different place than the funding for marketing, I just kind of scratched my head about the whole thing.
It bothers me to see expensive swag paired with movies that could have used more money where it matters.
This is theoretical of course. It was just odd. Like seeing a funky sorta cool homeless dude wearing a Polo shirt.
