3. We Are Not Surrounded By Hot Actors At Every Turn
Picture the scene: your hometown is infested with ravenous, highly-aggressive mutants, and the T-Virus could potentially turn you into one of them. In an effort to contain the infection from spreading, your Mayor seals off all exits to the city, and everyone is quarantined with zombies that want your brains on toast. Sounds horrible doesnt it? But Hollywood has always hinted that something will make everything better. Perhaps, the fact Milla Jovovich is trapped in there with you, wearing the tightest, sex-oozing outfits? Yes, that would definitely take the edge off the tragedy of a situation...
"Oh God, the neighbour just ate my Dads face, and now hes gnawing at my dogs ankle and making the most blood-curling sounds Ive ever heard in my life." "Have no fear, heres a supermodel to blast their head off wearing a slinky red dress and knee high boots."
It's just not going to happen: the average woman is going to be caught unaware, with no time to pluck her eyebrows, pick a saucy outfit and saunter out the house. Shes not gunna flood the room with sex appeal as she confidently steadies a set of double barrel shotguns - the more likely scenario is we'll see a lot of profanity shouting, dressing-gown-wearing hystericals still wearing last night's make-up. And it's not like Brad Pitt will be dashing about town, saving the day and looking ruggedly handsome at the same time. The sorry fact is that most blokes who look like Brad Pitt these days couldn't fight a cold. Its just going to be the people in your street: the bloke from the corner shop, the little old man you say hello to on the 50 bus every morning, and the man who stares at people uncomfortably outside Tesco.
