Be Excellent To Each Other

Im now about 2/3s through the survival guide. And world war Z got delivered yesterday

I do tend to mainly read when Im on trains which explains my slow progress through the books.

World War Z is awesome.

Oooh the film's out this year isn't it?

There's not been any news on it for a while now.

You may be sitting there wondering to yourself "Where on earth could I get 80 films of zombage?" and I would smile, nod and say "Why you need to sample Father's Sweeties in Mr McGregor's Dark Chum Alley of Delights."

It is Romero's 70th Birthday today, make sure you raise a glass to the master.



Happy Brithday Georgie

Survival of the Dead is out in March too.

This is the Zombie thread boys, not the I love Cox thread.

DavSpaz hasn't even got a cock and G's is so small it's practically inverted.

lashing out today. Need a hug?

I started reading the Zombie Survival Guide yesterday. I'm not finding it very good so far.

Have you read World War Z?

I read ZSG after WWZ, because I wanted more. It's a different kettle of fish. Decent enough bog book but nothing more.

I have just bought Land of the Dead.

It's going to be rubbish, isn't it?

I need that Zombie story compilation book that was mentioned on here, I keep forgetting about it.

Yeah.
I knew it was going to be different, but so far it's pretty dull. And some of his stuff in the weapons section is rather inaccurate.

I've got that. It's good.

I'm not sure how I'd have felt about ZSG if I'd not read WWZ first. I don't think I'd have enjoyed it as much without WWZ, as that set the scene and got me into a 'read zombie books' mood. I quite liked the crude pictures in ZSG, they were (I'd have thought unintentionally) pretty funny.

I HATE those pics.

I think I've ranted on about them further back in this thread. They cheapen the feel of the book.

Just skip to the case files then - they're brilliant.

I preferred ZSG, to be honest. I read them in chronological order, though.

Hi Mrs Mr Kissyfur!

I think Romero needs to get over the zombies and do something else.

He did, but people didn't like it.

World War Z was one of my favourite books ever. Who's involved in the film then? If you had told me before there was going to be a film I have managed to forget so I am excited now!
Also, Sara Cox. I her too. She is so funny on Radio 1, never fails to make me laugh.

Was it a comedy?

Gill - she's nice, but I'm more a Lauren Laverne chap myself.

I don't like to limit myself.

Heh.

In other news, gore and heavily shoehorned social commentary ago go.

After much careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that zombies are fucking rubbish.

Get out of nutworld.

They *are*. They make no sense (biological or theological, and particularly Romero's), and aren't scary.

You're fucking rubbish, next you'll be trying to tell us that big poofy camp vampires are much better & scarier & shit

Revenants are where it's at. Zombies, only angry.

Get the fuck out of this thread Mr Wrong...OUT.

Heh. No. Vampires are made up boyfriends for emo girls.

I don't know, the undead are just paling for me.

Tanned undead would be rubbish.

Racist. We're equal opportunities reanimators.

Bloody foreign zombies, coming over here, shambling down our streets, eating our brains...

And you have the brass neck to call me wrong for eating Cheesy pub snacks.

I think I sort of agree with Mr Chris here. At least to the extent that zombies were much better when they weren't so trendy. Trendy things aren't generally very scary.

N-Dubz terrify me

I think when people get all growed up and stuff they find most monsters less scary though, no matter what they're wearing.

I made the missus watch Alien a couple of nights ago for the first time in her life and she pretty much laughed the whole way through, and not just at the infamous 'jazz hands' bit either. *sigh*

Some (basic) Zombieland 2 details :

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/zombielan ... s-revealed

Yay!

I need to watch the first one first. It's not out on DVD for a while though.... Grrr.

It's already out on DVD. It's ace.

Amazon says you're talking out of your arse.

Oh, you're right. 15/3. I must have been hallucinating.

It's out on "DVD" though.

Aye, I've had the "DVD" for a while.

I watched the 'DVD' of Zombieland last night, and loved every second of it.

Very funny, reasonably gory zombie action (although as has been said, does seem to pull back a bit sometimes), wicked soundtrack, and a great little human tale as well, it's nice to see an 'optimistic' zombie film for a change. And Woody Harrelson is just super as ever.

I always support films/games/music/whatever that I 'evaluate' and are good, so pre-ordered it from HMV, even though I'll probably never take the DVD out of the case.
