Because once the word got out that we were making Shaun of the Dead, we didn't want people to think we were backtracking or changing our minds.

Your instinct, rather than precision stabbing, is more about just random bludgeoning.
british-comedian happen humor rather result
We wanted the humor to happen as a result of the zombies, you know? Like the humor being a result of their presence, rather than them being funny.

You don't look at each other on the subway.

drinking thinking people
If I was a supervillain, I think I'd probably ban all smoking and drinking. That's exactly what I'd do: I'd remove all the cigarettes and alcohol from the world. That would piss so many people off. That's worse than, like, murdering puppies. For some people.
