Sorry for no comic today, got a bit overwhelmed with freelance work again and couldn’t finish it in time. It’ll be there Friday though and promises to be awesome.

In the meantime, check this out. I am a huge fan of zombie comedies. This is a pretty good trailer I found I’ll have to track this movie down.

“A Little Bit Zombie” synopsis

Infected by a virus during his bachelor party, a mild mannered HR manager attempts to fulfill his overwhelming desire for brains and avoid Max, the obsessed Zombie Hunter hot on his trail. All while keeping it together so as not to incur the wrath of his Bridezilla-to-be.

Brad Pitt’s costar on the set, James Badge, let the rumor drop.

“That book [the flick is based on the best-selling tome of the same name] is such a thick dense book of so many socio- and political and economic views that says a lot about us as people,”

“So I think we’d like to make 18 more World War Z’s and we’d still have more material because it’s an ongoing story.”

While I’m all for having a epic zombie trilogy to rival “The Lord of The Rings” some of the choices being made are upsetting the diehard fans of the novel. For one thing the novel is very episodic in nature and told in a series of flashbacks. The movie plot seams to be changed to follow Brad Pitt’s character as he tries to fight the growing zombie threat.  That’s a pretty big change.

Look I’ll be honest here, That is a GOOD change. I loved the novel, it was great, but any story told as flashbacks immediately loses a tremendous amount of tension. You already know how it’s going to end up for the most part. That’s not to say that can’t still be done well, I read a lot of H.P. Lovecraft and most of his stories are told that way, with the main character telling you what has already happened. The novel is great, but it’s hard to make a movie like that.

Here you can see some actual filming for the movie, which brings me to the next thing die hard fans are complaining about.

Fast Zombies

Max Brooks, the author of the novel, is on record as not being a fan of them and you can clearly see the zombies being pretty dang lively in the above clip.  Again I’m going to break with the purists here and say I love fast zombies. I like slow zombies too, but they don’t make me wet my pants and curl up in the fetal position. Fast zombies may not have the slow macabre dread of the original George Romero pop culture zombie, but let’s be honest, they are scarier to face overall.

Who knows how much control Brooks has over what goes on in the filming of his novel. I’m guessing not a lot.  I have no idea whether “World War Z” will do well at the box office or not, but I’m keeping hope alive. Really good zombie movies are few and far between.

Oh, Milla Jovavich, how I love you and your zombie butt kicking ways. She does wear a whole lot of leather.

So what’s up with this trailer? Seams to start where the last Resident Evil movie left off, plus a tonne of… Flashbacks? That didn’t really make a lick of sense.

Meh… who am I kidding I’ll watch it.

I’m not sure if I’ve posted anything about this movie before, but holy cow this looks good. Take the happiest moment in someone’s life and now ruin it utterly with zombies.

You know that’s got to be good. A pissed off bride going to town on the living dead with a chainsaw! Sign me up. I want to see this movie.

This is a random comic I just wanted to do. I thought it was funny. However, the idea of watching soo many zombie flicks that you become a tad bit hyper sensitive to them is not very far fetched.

When I was a pimply teenager instead of a pimply adult we had a video store that rented unlimited VHS tapes (Yes I’m that old) for fifty cents a pop. This wonderful store also had a vast supply of horror movies full of rich rich 80′s gore and horror.

Did you know that renting a stack of tapes as high as my manly man nipple can cause psychological trauma to someone?

I didn’t either.

Now I’m so jaded and desensitized.  I only feel true terror when visiting my in-laws.
That’s a joke dang it! I know you read this blog

This is so close to how my first wedding day went down…. except the bride is the one who became a monster… and instead of eating people she ate my dreams.

Nah I’m just kidding. It’s funny because it’s true.

Holy cow, check out the guy really selling the zombie acting. Pretty cool. He goes from getting bitten to zombified and acting crazy in seconds. That… That.. would be pretty damned scary. I don’t see how “World War Z” is going to be accurate to the book, but it might not suck, and I’ll take that.

Thanks, Alicia for the find. Pretty cool.
