Kids like that make me fear my future. But some of the remixes are a riot especially the one where Bill O'Reilly interviews him. And I kinda messed up several times.... sorry!! The link I sent you to brings you to the web version of david Wellington's novel 13 Bullets, which is a Vampire story that is proving to be quite nice. I'm at chapter 10 so far. www.davidwellington.net will bring you to the Zombie stories I mentioned earlier. Read "Monster Island" first. Then "Monster Nation" then "Monster World".

I bought this book after reading the author's previous book "Zombie Survival Guide" http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/zombiesurvivalguide/ which is a dead pan survival guide to what to do when a zombie apocalypse occurs. Definitely check that out as well. World War Z is also going to be a movie. The movie rights were bought a while back back a company Brad Pitt is involved with. go figure. here's info on that. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/ I agree The Land of the Dead remake was weak at best. It totally missed the large epic feel that the original dawn of the dead had. I enjoyed the remake of Dawn but it was more of an action style horror that lacked the social commentary or desperate bleak feeling of the original. What I"m looking forward to is a zombie movie that shows the real ramification of a zombie outbreak on society. How does the government deal with it? what happens across the country...we need to see giant zombie attacks in the thousands or something along those lines. I think a movie based on World War Z might accomplish this. Retroman DC www.dchighway.com World War Z is an incredible book.

Absolutely incredible stuff. I have been snooping around trying to see if he is going to do a sequel, but I am yet to find anything. Coincidently Bryan, another of your favorite media types, Henry Rollins, plays a part in the audio version of the book ( I believe he's the body guard for the "famous celebrity in his walled house") as well as Mark "You're not my father batman!!" Hamill. But I would have to disagree with a couple of things in your rant. The remake of Dawn was not that bad. I could have done without the "Zombie Baby" thing, but over all it was a decent attempt. And with the case of "Land of the dead" there was at least one George who after coming back 20 some odd years later didn't shit on his previous work. If you decide to read more Might I suggest a writer by the name of David Wellington. Site: www.13bullets.com Interesting take on what zombies see when they track living creatures. It's not by the book Romero, but it's still a good, fun undead read. That and even though you can buy a hard copy of the books, it's all up online for you to read a chapter at a time for free.
