The Nigthingale thing I am willing to talk about, odds are that when Godzillafan said that he was being sarcastic. However I was willing to let that go at least I found someone who was an expert on that thing, then you said you're a nurse, so I wasn't gonna let this chance slip up. Ya it is creepy, but I have a unique perspective on characters judging by the dialogue, tone and overall chemistry. Unlike most guys in my position though, I don't like the idea of a 20 year old dating a 15 year old regardless of who the older gender is. However if I see something I suspect might be going on I am quick to point it out. Before this anime, there were not so great examples I seen of the effect. The first being Back To The Future, a kid travels through time and accidentally prevents his mom and dad from meeting before he was born. However to add further salt to the wound because he got hurt in an accident while doing that, his future mother ended up caring for him and falling in love with him, much to his horror. The second example was in the book/movie, Misery in which the nurse in question this time, was not only a former hosptial nurse, but also a loony fan of the author she was taking care of after finding him in an accident. So that effect get's played more for horror than romance or comedy. One of my main curiousity in the world is relationships be it real or fictional, I even did a wiki a while back that jotted down relationships between characters and how likely it would be based on evidence of the actual source material rather than using fanfiction. It's more natural curiousity than genuine creepiness, though the way I word it doesn't quite help much.

Anywho ya about the Romero thing, to put it as Godzillafan said it, he doesn't like his movies, I do, but we make our cases known either way and despite our sides on the matter we get along just fine. One of the reasons I bring it up was because in Another, Chibiki described death as more of a force of nature, or natural disaster rather than a simple supernatural force. A recurring theme in the Romero Dead series is that there is no specific cause for the dead to rise, but they treat it as more or less a natural disaster flick with the Zombies replacing a tornado or an earthquake.

A great example of Keith David's work is a movie called John Carptenter's The Thing, if not for that movie he wouldn't have landed the role in They Live and participated in a scene that many who love or hate the movie would agree was hilarious. To make a long story short, the main character has glasses that can see an alien world hidden under our world. He tries to tell his friend played by Keith about it, who thinks he's crazy so they go into a 6 minute long fistfight. What makes it funny is because said main character is played by Roddy Piper, a Scottish Canadian Professional Wrestler known for his wild and crazy attitude. So even with someone as badass as Keith David fighting him anyone that knows Piper knows the fight gonna be brutal. Here  look at this.

Now that most people don't know was that during the fight scene, Piper and Keith hit each other for real, with the exception of the face and groin shots. Carpenter wanted to keep the fight down to 3 minutes, but kept rolling when he saw how into it they were. Said fight became so popular that it was recreated in an episode of South Park word for word scene for scene.

I never really liked Platoon, the only thing I remember about it was that whole William Dafoe throwing his arms out like a cross before dying thing. And I only remember it because I see it in almost every show that either talks about the movie, or makes fun of it such as Sheldon doing that pose in The Big Bang Theory when being shot down by paintball players.
