An instance of one's brain becoming sidetracked through a series of often but not always related leaps in thinking, enough that one finds herself standing silently, eyes out of focus, unaware of her surroundings -- including, especially, other people's speech. A brief state of thoughtlessness comparable to zombiehood. The telltale signs of the cessation of a zombie-moment are the phrases "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" or "I forgot what I was just doing," often accompanied by rapid blinking and head-shaking. CAUTION: Trying to re-trace the logical sequence of thoughts that led from alertness and lucidity to the zombie-moment can often cause another zombie-moment.

The movie was good . . . I think . . . at least the plot was tight enough that a zombie-moment will wreck your trying to follow the story. I know that first-hand, because right in the middle of a scene I had a zombie-moment. After that I had no clue why the people on screen were doing whatever it was they were doing. (The special effects were great, though.)
