Ever wondered what it would be like if over 1,500 Filipino inmates were to stage an elaborate, step-for-step reproduction of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video? Ripe with heady, sociopolitical metaphor that I'm sure has George Romero beaming with pride, what is sure to be the year's very best viral video has arrived! And speaking of George Romero... Does anyone else think it's weird that the remake of Romero's Day of the Dead (slash-sequel to Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake) will be...
