I'm overanalyzing a zombie movie

[agidol]

I watched the latest zombie movie called the Land of the dead. well, zombie movie is a zombie movie and i wasn't expecting any Academy caliber acting but I just had two questions.. with one being a question toward all zombie movies.

1. In this movie, folks fight over (or try to kill over) money (actual dollar bill). Huh???? what is money worth in this world. I can understand food, fuel, or ammunition but money??? In a small fortified city of thousand (maybe?), is cash really honored??? Like if Greenspan zombie will bite you if you choose to barter instead of using currency...

2. More silly question toward zombie movies in general. If zombies eat humans for food -- who gets to be zombie and who gets to be food? I mean if you eat them up completely..then there are no new zombies right? Yet, I see zombies with they body almost fully intact in most cases (well they must have been attacked to be eaten when they turned into zombie so....I guess zombies left these guys alone after just one bite???)

I know these are silly questions but I was kind of curious as to how other people think about this -- especially question #2. I know...I have too much time in my hand.

In most Zombie movies, the initial zombies coming out ogf grave were created by some type of chemical spill. So most of them have their parts intact. But you are right that if more dead come out of graves than available live human being, then we will definitely have a problem

Why is it that physically normal people can not out-run and get away from slow moving zombies to begin with?

Well then we wouldn't have much of a movie. I was watching some cheese flick last night, and the zombies are walking(with a bad limp I might add) toward this dude and he's just standing there screaming. You will have a hard time running though, if they're everywhere. Seems like all a person needs to do is climb on a roof or in a high tree. But then again, if people don't get there brains sucked out, no sense in watching, right?

It is just like in most horror movies, a lonely girl in her night gown hear a noise in the dark, and she have to investigate it knowing full well she was warned earlier that a killer might be on the loose
