No gore, just blood. LOL
 
Shaun of The Dead blood or Sweeney Todd blood? (or something entirely different I'm not familiar with?)


Lol, Shaun of The Dead is hardly violent at all.
It's so amusing you barely even focus on any 'violence' in the movie.
 
Yeah, it's funny. It's my "Friday Night, I'm broke and I hate my job" film

It's only an issue of American vs British spelling guys, don't fret over it. American spelling doesn't have the "u". And we Canadian usually spell it the British way (but pronounce it somewhere closer to American English)
 
It's like centre and center

Yes I know.

They spell their name the American way.

But I can annoy fans by calling them Dream Theatre.

Being that these word were borrowed from French, my guess it that "centre", "colour" and 'theatre" is the original spelling.

Indeed, their etymology is from the original Old French.

Derived from French or not, I still think it looks wrong to the eye when combined with the way you say it.
Plus, it makes me unique to spell like an American as someone living in Australia:P

Remember, Hamish, that the French pronunciation is: Té-at-tre

Those pesky Normans invaded us and the gullible English used their language rather than Latin and before that, Old Norse, Pictish, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic.
