They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus, Teddy Bears are the ultimate symbol of man’s cruel and destructive attitude toward nature, and one President’s very specific requirements for slaughtering unsuspecting wild animals for fun.

According to Wikipedia, Teddy Bears were invented after \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_bear#cite_note-Clay-7\">a hunting trip\u003c/a> involving President Theodore Roosevelt, during which a black bear was “cornered, clubbed, and tied to a willow tree after a long, exhausting chase with hounds. They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus, Teddy Bears are the ultimate symbol of man’s cruel and destructive attitude toward nature, and one President’s very specific requirements for slaughtering unsuspecting wild animals for fun.

And it gets more specific than that: The funniest visual joke in \u003cem>Shaun of the Dead\u003c/em>, when the spaced-out hero slips on a pool of blood just below the frame, is swiped by a shot of a character tripping over an offscreen body on his morning jog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this makes \u003cem>Anna and the Apocalypse\u003c/em> a bad movie per se—as Picasso (and Steve Jobs) said, \"Good artists copy, great artists steal\"—but the contrast between it and its main source of inspiration is clear and mostly unflattering to the new film. As the cinematic karaoke unfolds, you gain a fresh appreciation for Wright's sly commentary on workaday London or the pop-savvy delight of his heroes choosing which records are keepers and which are disposable enough to hurl at a zombie's head. Or, better still, the brilliant comic chemistry between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and how the depth of their friendship reveals itself in crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those virtues are present in director John McPhail's affable horror-musical-comedy, just noticeably dimmer in every respect. What original inspiration it \u003cem>does\u003c/em> possess is heavily front-loaded in the first act, before the zombies take over and there's more time for song-and-dance. In a small-town high school, students are so busy preparing for a Christmas performance that they tune out CDC warnings of a strange pathogen that's spreading through the country.

But there's something to be said for considering it through the prism of slavish imitator like \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6433880/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">\u003cem>Anna and the Apocalypse\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a Scottish genre mash-up that plays like a piece of fan art, only with a musical component added.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/dfWIfwKJ7vA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/dfWIfwKJ7vA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>There's the first-act obliviousness to a zombie outbreak happening in the background, a few of those patented Wright whip-pans, and dialogue brimming with pop-culture references. And it gets more specific than that: The funniest visual joke in \u003cem>Shaun of the Dead\u003c/em>, when the spaced-out hero slips on a pool of blood just below the frame, is swiped by a shot of a character tripping over an offscreen body on his morning jog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this makes \u003cem>Anna and the Apocalypse\u003c/em> a bad movie per se—as Picasso (and Steve Jobs) said, \"Good artists copy, great artists steal\"—but the contrast between it and its main source of inspiration is clear and mostly unflattering to the new film. As the cinematic karaoke unfolds, you gain a fresh appreciation for Wright's sly commentary on workaday London or the pop-savvy delight of his heroes choosing which records are keepers and which are disposable enough to hurl at a zombie's head. Or, better still, the brilliant comic chemistry between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and how the depth of their friendship reveals itself in crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those virtues are present in director John McPhail's affable horror-musical-comedy, just noticeably dimmer in every respect. What original inspiration it \u003cem>does\u003c/em> possess is heavily front-loaded in the first act, before the zombies take over and there's more time for song-and-dance. In a small-town high school, students are so busy preparing for a Christmas performance that they tune out CDC warnings of a strange pathogen that's spreading through the country.
