I am as matter of principal very selective of the Zombie genre... this one ... I will probably watch because of Woody Harrelson who has been nothing short of an all around great actor. Comedy, drama, horror, whatever.

I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Peace,

I cannot WAIT to see this movie!!! Eeeeeeeee!!!!!

Oh crap, I forgot...there's no joyous squealing in kenpo, or zombie warfare either.

 

[celtic_crippler]

Can't wait to see it. It looks really good.

I can't wait to see this movie, I'm a zombie nerd. Name the zombie movies, novel, comic and I've been there.

My favorites are the old school Romero style Zombies, rather than the fast, sorta intelligent modern zombies.

 

[arnisador]

We hope to see it this weekend!

I am a ZOMBIE freak from way back. This looks fun. Remember a blade never runs out of bullets, LOL.

What was the name of that Zombie superhero or something that Marvel Comic (or was it DC) put out a while back?? :uhyeah:

 

[Knives]

Marvel Zombies and the first one was very good. I've got a Zombified Spider-Man and Wolverine t-shirt too.

Speaking of zombies, I saw this book at a local store and thought it was a funny idea.

Umm... I saw that but I'm thinking of a singular character who was a already a zombie not someone (pre-existing hero) who turned into one...
Ah a wiki search *ahem* unearthed him...

Have you guys read "World War Z" by Max Brooks yet? If you have not, run out and get it, one of the best zombie novels I've ever read.

The short version is it's a journalist interviewing survivors of the zombie apocalypse. The book is structured where each chapter is a single person's interview from a different part of the world at escalating points in the plague. First chapter's an interview with a person from a small village in China where the first cases happened and it goes on from there through worldwide crisis, suffering, and the battle to retake the world. All first person, all riveting.

I think my favorite chapter was one where a little girl was interviewed who her family undertook the trip to drive from somewhere in the southern US to Alaska because the zombies freeze in the cold and they thought they could escape that way. The chapter is filled with such sadness, death and depravity it's stunning, and what makes it even worse is Max captured the character of a child in these circumstances so well.

I'll have to check it out... sounds... intriguing.

Omar did you recognize the comic I posted?

 

[Omar B]

Not the specific issue, but I read about it in a Marvel encyclopedia.

Yeah, check out "World War Z," you see the zombie conflict from all sides, kids, scientists in India, isolationists in Israel and Africa, Rich people locked away in luxury apartments built like prisons on Long Island.

Max Brooks also wrote "The Zombie Survival Guide" which is a companion piece to WWZ. It's pretty much like any survivalist book, but tailored to a dealing with zombies rather than nuclear fallout or what have you.

There is a Facebook group called "The Hardest Part of a Zombie Apocalypse Will be Pretending I'm Not Excited".

A character in a recent movie (I can't remember which one though! I try to watch a lot of films/DVDs ...) was reading this book

Also worth checking out (at least my poetry professor keeps recommending it!) is Zombie Haiku
