What is it with the stereotype about women in failed relationships going mental, anyway? Is it a misogyny thing? Why don’t men get the same treatment by pop-culture, anyway?

Regardless, it’s a trope older than dirt.

Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d.

More recently, of course, filmmakers have loved to dabble in the revenge of the ex-girlfriend concept, with everything from ‘Fatal Attraction’ to ‘My Super Ex-Girlfriend’. ‘Scott Pilgrim’ is *kind* of a noteworthy inversion, I suppose.

Well, given that movies bashing Zombies are all the rage, why not a movie bashing Zombie ex-girlfriends?

Besides good taste I mean. Oh well:

Meet Zach. Nice guy. Terrible taste in women. They leave him but they never forget him. He’s heading into the next bad break-up when the newest fad in H20 drinks starts turning ex-girlfriends into zombies who have one idea, getting back together with Zach. Three friends have to stop the Ex’s and save the world.

Yes, it’s another comedy using Zombies as the butt of a joke. *groan*

Someday I will have to give Simon Pegg a piece of my mind about all the Anti-Zombie comedies he helped unleash on the world. (Anti-Zom-Coms?)

In the meantime, you can have a teaser trailer for ‘Zombie eXs’, which lays out a fairly convincing argument for abandoning the modern world and going to live in a shack somewhere in the Rockies until civilization mercifully collapses.
