Tip#1190: Stay Light & Laugh, Part 2 – COVID-19 – Zombieland 2: Double Tap

This is Day 21 of the COVID-19 quarantine/social distancing/self-isolation here in Toronto, Canada.

Life continues to be surreal staying home and not seeing friends, family and colleagues in person. But I’m still going for my therapy walks when the sun is out so I can also get fresh air and vitamin D sunshine. My seasonal depression symptoms are still active but usually dissipate in April each year.

Shopping at grocery stores has become surreal with new labels on the floor for six feet social distancing between shoppers at the check out. I’m also getting extra cautious of whatever I’m touching as I’m learning that COVID-19 can still remain alive for a number of hours or days depending on the surface.

It’s also starting to get lonely being single and living alone during this quarantine. And at times I can feel stress and anxiety slowly creep up on me. Thankfully there is Facebook Messenger, FaceTime and Zoom for video chats to see a friendly face. And, of course, there is an abundance of movies to watch to lift myself up, inspire me to persevere and to just laugh and feel lighter!

Zombieland 2: Double Tap (2019)

The zombie, comedy film, Zombieland 2: Double Tap, is a sequel after ten years later with survivors Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) now dealing with evolved zombies while struggling with each other’s life issues. Highly entertaining, hilarious and lots of blood and guts, this film has great performances by all including new to the cast, Zoey Deutch, Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson, Thomas Middleditch and Avan Jogia.

I initially had no interest in seeing this sequel but it was perfect timing during this quarantine because it made me laugh so much! Zoey Deutch’s character as Madison was a standout and I enjoyed the witty dialogue that everyone delivered. There are also more fun Zombieland Survival Rules and the new character, Flagstaff (Thomas Middleditch), adds his own quirky zombie “Commandments” as well. Need a laugh? See this film and make sure you watch right to the very end past the credits!

Unexpected life changes can be stressful and fill us with anxiety. These are the times to remember to inject some fun and laughter into our days. These feel-good feelings make us feel lighter and clear our heads of negative thoughts and feelings. There are many comedy films to choose from so find one today and just laugh your head off!
