Factual Error

Memories can't be recovered from long dead brain matter, the brain after a few minutes would begin to break down, including the neurons, making memories unrecoverable. So, a brain after it's been dead for hours would not be able to give out any memories like is shown in the movie when one is "eaten".

Yeah fair enough, thanks for the science explanation, but what about the existence of zombies then? Maybe we should just chalk up the whole movie as a 'Factual Error'

So. Let me get this straight. If I kill someone, and I crack open their skull, and I eat their brains, I'll have their memories? Really?

When people crack open the skulls of living monkeys, and they eat their brains, they get the monkey's memories? They get to see/live/feel the monkey's last moments?

If memories could be recovered, I'm sure a lot of the super intelligent recently dead would have their brains drained of all their memories asap in order to use that intelligence in some kind of super computer to solve all the world's problems. 

I was just on my way to the boards to point this nonsense out! How absurd!

And the existence of zombies - "living" dead - is not absurd? Have you not heard of suspension of disbelief.

That's pretty funny for a "factual error". But zombies are okay. They just can't have memories.
