Oh Hai, Amber Heard. Um, yeah… Just wanted to say, after watching Zombieland for the second time within less than a week, that I think we should have zombie sex together. For reals. It’s not necrophilia if they can still move. Like, that whole scene with the snarlin’ and the pukin’ and the rottin’ flesh chasing skinny Nancy-boys around their apartment: it kinda worked for me. Just saying, I’d let you bite me.

I’m a little late to the game on this one, but I just got back from Zombieland and I can honestly say that it is already in my top 3 films of the year. This movie was the most fun that I’ve had at the cinema since that one time where I stole the giant head of Al Pacino and took a bunch of pictures with it. Although, that probably shouldn’t count because the movie was Mirrors which just put me in the mood for some petty vandalism.
ANYWAY! I really really liked this film. Not to just spray constant praise on this film but I really have nothing bad to say about it. Sure there is a lot that it could have gone into with the story and characterization but it honestly didn’t have to. The characters were lovable enough and the story did what it had to in order to progress further into more scenes of bad-assery and gore-filled slap-stick. The film was everything that it was supposed to be and it did a great job at it.
Plus it was an excuse to see Emma Stone, so yeah, there is that too.

The Walking Dead Issue # 5
SO yeah, Robert Kirkman twittered this (I can’t say tw**t, I just can’t):
AMC is venturing into zombie-drama territory with multi-hyphenate Frank Darabont.
Cabler is close to finalizing one of the richest development deals ever with Darabont to write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series “The Walking Dead,” penned by Robert Kirkman. Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Motion Pictures and David Alpert of Circle of Confusion are also on board to exec produce.
Project is set among a group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse who are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes, in search of a safe place to live. Numerous editions of the “Walking Dead” graphic novels have been published since 2003.
While I am psychedd that the man behind such classics as The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption AND The Fly II I am more thrilled to see that The motherfucking WALKING DEAD is going to be on the same channel as MAD MEN! FUCK! YES!

The Walking Dead - Issue #62 “Fear the Hunters Part 1 of 5”
Review and Proclamation of My Man-Crush for Robert Kirkman:
FINALLY!
Kirkman has finally started the Hunters story arc which has been hyped for the past couple of months now. If this was any other writer, I’d be too pissed to care at this point but, Kirkman being Kirkman, it’s worth the wait. Technically the group has seen worse times (like a certain Governor kill off HALF THE FUCKING CAST!) but they are currently at their weakest. Tensions have been building and after months of teasers Kirkman has finally unleashed a new threat to the cast (this is where I’d have a colon and “human” written in italics to a represent dramatic reveal, but I fear that I’ve already filled my quota of cliches for this month already).
So far from what has been shown is a group well armed humans following the group, which in and of itself wouldn’t be anything to change pants over at this point, but again, this is Kirkman. The man has used humans as antagonists before. Most readers at this point in the series would even admit that the on-going theme of “the horrors of human nature” has been jammed down our throat far enough but I am still willing to give Kirkman the benefit of a doubt that he’ll jazz this human-threat with something just as intriguing and shockingly horrific as he has done in the past.
The reason why I give such credit to one Robert Kirkman is because within the last couple of months I have finally started reading other series scripted by the young Kirkman (Invincible, Brit, Battle Pope) and let me just simply say this: Kirkman is good. He is fucking good. I’ve known this for a period of time now, but it’s only been within the past month that it hit me that his work is some of the most consistent in quality (and consistent with deadlines) story telling of any on-going that I’ve been keeping up to date with.
I am aptly excited for this new story arc. Kirkman has set it up nicely and so far it’s off to a good start as every character is at their limit (emotionally and physically): Rick is finally lossing control of Carl, whom struggles to rationalize the fact that he killed a human being (a child no less); Dale, once the most faithful in Rick, is losing his confidence in Rick and has lost what is left of his “family.” This is the worst time for something like an organized group of hunters messing with their shit, which of course makes it the best time to drop something in such as this.
And Kirkman being Kirkman, you can be sure to find “Fear the Hunters Part 2 of 5” in shops by next month. I’m psyched, so should you…well, if you read the series that is…

Well fuck me naked with a spoon….
The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother.

This past weekend at the Emerald City ComiCon it was announced that comic companies BOOM! Studios and Fox Atomic will be producing a 28 Days Later on-going series as the first act of their recently announced partnership. No creative team has been announced which is a downer since the rest of the details are just as shady: I think
Initial launch story will be firmly based in 28 DAYS LATER continuity with the first arc focusing on Selena. Bridging the gap between 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER, a few key questions will be answered along the way: what happened to Selena after 28 DAYS LATER? How did Selena happen upon the machete she wields in 28 DAYS LATER?
“Bridging the gap between 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER” I think I’ve heard that before…
Regardless of my quibbles the only zombie-based comic that I’ve actually stuck with is The Walking Dead, as its done the best job of displaying the survival aspect of the Zombie-dystopian. My guess is that 28 Days Later will also focus on the human survival aspect of the story, as it seems the best way to prolong such a premise. Either way, the PR photos currently being shown are boner-inspiring, so I’m probably going to cave in and read this no matter what…
…Although, I’m still going to wait until the creative team is announced before I get too excited.

Kotaku has a great article about zombies in pop culture and their crossover into video games. They go into a brief history of the zombie and break down 3 games and what they do right/differently within the genre.
On one of my favorite games to both love and hate:
“Dead Rising placed you in a large shopping mall with tens of thousands of zombies. And they’re all around you. Your resources are limited, and while a single zombie rarely presents itself as a threat, 100 zombies in a group does. And it’s a threat that’s always there. These are the kind of things a good zombie story plays upon, and sadly, Dead Rising is one of the only games to make full use of them.”

So this is what my death will look like.
Video
The fledgling sub-sub genre known as Nazi Zombie, like any zombie or nazi film, is crass, offessive, bloody and yet downright inspired. The 1977 film Shock Waves (arguably the first Nazi Zombie film) features zombies — products of Nazi “Super Soldier” experiments during World War II — who have been locked in a sub under water since the end of WWII. They break out and kill. It’s not the best zombie film, but it’s not a bad one. In fact, it’s pretty damn amazing.
