Even though I'm sick-up and fed with the genre, I'm looking forward to this. I love the comics.

Hey, me too. I love that series. I don't mind invincile either. Kirkman is o.k. in my book and I may actually try to watch them as they are released (unlike the usual wait for a whole season and download thing I usually do). I can't watch the trailer at work (and probably shouldn't even post about it eh??) but thanks for the link.

Although how zombies are going to sell when it's vampire season I'll never know.

Yeah, who the hell knows. But count me in for Team Fleshy

Well, I am on Team Brains!!!!

No kidding. I was never the biggest Vampire fan and now I'm just so tired of the douchification of them altogether.

Send more paramedics!

The zombies on Team Brains!!!! are quite sophisticated. In fact, we eat our brains with a knife and fork. Hopefully Stephanie Myers is writing the series....I would like to see some zombie romance, maybe even a zombie love triangle between a human, zombie, and revenant.

The overload of zombies is complete. I swear if I see another "How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse" guide at B&N, I am going to shoot myself.

Frankenstein is getting the short end of the stick these days. I think I'll write up a novella on how Earth gets invaded by space Frankenstein’s who can somehow breed with Sasquatch. The offspring start up unions and private school boards...speaking no discernable language.

Whoops.

I don't think we can view hulu in Canada.

Fucking hulu...or Canada. Fuck.

My favorite zombie movie of all time.

Looks pretty bad. Don't know why they'd pick such a wooden actor to lead a horror series. In the comic Rick is clearly scared when shit goes down, but that guy doesn't emote at all. Overall I didn't get any kind of "the world as we know it has ended" vibe from the trailer. That could have been due to the poor choice of music though. I think I'll skip the premiere and wait to see reviews/opinions of the finished season.

To get past the whole vampire/zombie thing, I am thinking of writing a new fantasy series about the long running hidden war between Minotaurs and Gorgons. Add in a bit of cow-man on snake-lady action and it will be a sure-fire hit.

Yep you heard it here first. Gorgons are the new vampires.

Fuck the new vampire bullshit. Seriously, all of it. I'm not impressed. Anyone who wasn't into Buffy ought to write Joss Whedon a letter of apology now that we've seen the fucking SHITSTORM of Twilight, Vampire Diaries and True Blood.

But The Walking Dead...I'm impressed. I CAN. NOT. WAIT to see this.

I'd argue that we have Twilight BECAUSE of things like Buffy...

As far as the WD...I lost interested early on in the graphic novels, and don't recall much so I have no feelings on whether this sticks to the source material or not. I'm also not sure what this will bring to the zombie genre that's really all that exciting or different. Look like a normal Romero zombie scenario to me, except we get this in seasons instead of one 2 hour block. If I recall though, that was the point of the comic. Kind of a 'what if the movie never ended' So, again, doesn't look like anything 'new' to me just 'more'.

Well, Jack, I don't know how far you got but it's not new, it's not high art, it's not revolutionary.. but it is good serial fun. If your into that kind of thing. At least in the comic anyway. Kirkman, even at his best, brings nothing new to the table, but he can write a decent yarn and has a good sense of characterization.

Well, wait a minute. I don't recall seeing a whole family slowly deal with this and grow as characters in this weird world over such a long period of time. It does give you a sense of what the long term might be like... you don't/can't really get that in a two hour flick. In that sense it's kind of novel... but I'm not sure that this equates to "bringing something new to the table" or not.
