I Love the Walking Dead

I came across a survial video for post-apocalyptic times.

Ducked and Covered: A Survival Guide to the Post Apocalypse

Maybe Mr Kirkman might add it into season 2.

Some of you have already heard that, after season one of the Walking Dead, Frank Darabont did away with his entire writing staff. The rumour was the Darabont was going to replace the old writers with freelancers. That idea was scrapped. Now a new writing team is being put together  with Glen Mazzara leading it.

So I got to wondering. ”How did these two TV figures get together”? 

So below is my idea of how this relationship came about.

When I started this blog I wanted it  to be about  everything interesting related to The Walking Dead.

Well, I forgot something. I forgot all about the ” The Walking Dead Motion Comic”

So here it is…

I thought that it was a gret idea be since the tv showaired I don’t thing we’ll be seeing anymore installments.

 It’s too bad I liked it.

So either you’ve seen the 6 episodes of the Walking dead or you’ve read the eighty issues of the comic.

So my question to you is how prepared are you? What would you do should the Zombie Apocalyspe arrive tommorrow?

Well check  check ouy these sites and test your survival knowledge:

 Daniel Kanemoto is recieving rave reviews all over the net.

Why you ask?  Well he apparently, on his own created a mock opening sequence for upcoming “The Walking Dead” tv show.

They’re right.  It’s really good.

Check it out…

THE WALKING DEAD “Opening Titles” from Daniel Kanemoto on Vimeo.

AMC release a new featurette for the The Walking Dead.

It has Robert Kirkman giving a synopsis of the story behnd The Walking Dead.

The big news nowadays is that horror writer Jay Bonansinga and Robert Kirkman are going to  team up to write three novels set in the The Walking Dead universe. Jay Bonansinga has several novels to his under his belt, Perfect Victim, Twisted and Shattered.

At this time no one knows if the stories will be about Rick and the other that we know and love or if the dynamic duo will creating a new set of characters. Also no title names have been dropped. St. Martins Press’s Thomas Dunne books will be the company handling the publishing of the future novels.

If you haven’t seen it yet  then  here is your chance to check out the micro-documentary from AMC about the making of the Walking Dead tv show.

I just wanted to let you know  that I also have a lens on Squidoo

I got a twitter storm setup, it has Youtube videos and cool Flickr pics.

So check it out

Ok so I’m reading the latest issue , #78 and “Maggie” is pissing me off! What is wrong with this girl? Let your man do what a man’s gotta do. You ladies reading this are probably going to call me a M.C.P.. I don’t care. Maggie you’re in the middle of the bloody Zombie Apocalypse, bloody Z-Day for crying out loud. So grow a pair. I say. You nurture little Sophia and let Glenn get to protecting your makeshift family.

Looks like there is no rest for the wicked. Douglas has given up the mantle to Rick. Like we didn’t see that coming. Also it’s too bad the band of brigands at the outskirts of town had to show up playing the fool. If I was with them I’d be bringing a peace offering. Especially after seeing the bossman go down. I say again, they’re “Bloody idiots”.

 Like thousands of viewers I spent my Hallowe’en evening preparing for the number 1 

show of the new year. My conclusion, The Walking Dead is amazing I really enjoyed it. 

I have to warn you. I am going to rip this show apart. I can see the look of confusion on

your face and that is OK, it’s just what I do. When me and the guys get together and 

discuss our favourite TV shows and movies, we rip them apart. We throw in the good 

along with the bad and that’s how we have fun. 

So the good, they did a great job on the zombies. They’re interesting. I enjoyed the fact 

that these undead still have some residual memories of their former lives. That they are

able to recognized things, locations and possibly people that they used to have an 

emotional attachment to. This was evident when the little girl zombie picked up her 

favourite teddy bear and was walking around with it. Also with Morgan‘s wife when she 

kept showing up at the house that he and Duane were hiding out in. Some will argue 

that the noise attracted her but I beg to differ. I think it’s because she died in that house

why she kept hanging around. That first night when she showed up is one of my favorite

scenes, how she was checking out the house with her head bobbing from side to side. 

Then she tried the doorknob, oohh it creeped me out. I had to rewind that part over 

a couple of times.  

I also like their speed, they’re not too fast like the runners in 28 Days and they’re not 

your typical slow shufflers. They’re fast enough for when they move you better start 

runnning. You’ll get away but you better run … fast. Just another reason to shed the 

pounds and get into an exercise program. (I’m giving my more ”buttery” readers 

the “Look”)  

In my next post I’ll touch on what I didn’t like about episode 1.

Man, I just love The Walking Dead!

So in my last post I touched on what I liked in episode 1. Now this post is going to be about what I disliked.

First, what wrong with Rick’s bandage? The man got shot in his lower shoulder. So why is the bandage wrapped around his gut? It should be around his chest.

Fig. 1	Fig. 2

Second, what wrong with Rick? What happened to common sense? Imagine you wake up in a hospital or … you know what wherever. You just wake up. You don’t know where you are and you decide to go explore your surroundings. Doesn’t common sense tell you to find your clothes? Ok, he’s in a hospital and he leaves his room to find a nurse. Once you check out the floor and don’t see or hear anyone wouldn’t you:

A – Go back to your room and find your clothes. Even in the comic this is one of the first things Rick does.
B – Find a phone and CALL YOUR WIFE?
C – Find out what is going on? How about sticking your head out a window or just looking out of the window of your room.

Third, You’re in a hospital where sick people go so why are you traipsing around barefoot? I have friends and family who work in hospitals and shleping around barefoot in one is something that they wouldn’t advise. All that blood, body fluids germs and viruses. Nope! Shoes ! Get me some shoes! Then you go outside and see rows of dead bodies and you decide to walk among them. Nasty! You couldn’t pay me enough to do that. Rick is nasty!

Fourth, this is one of my pet peeves about the horror genre. Why do people never turn on lights? Everybody knows the monsters lurk in the dark. Turn on the blasted lights! Why is Rick going down pitch black stair wells? We know that there is power going to the building. So find the light switch!

Finally, one of my other peeves in horror movies/shows is how the characters never believe that what’s happening in front of them is happening. I mean the story is set in the present day. So I believe that if you are reading this you understand that if you see a guy has fangs in his mouth you’re dealing with a vampire. So, if there is a half rotted corpse dragging itself along the ground chances are it’s a ZOMBIE! I can understand feeling shock and surprise that you are actually seeing one. But denial?1? Please!

Man, I’m gonna have fun with this show. This is why I love The Walking Dead

Remember! You saw it here first!

.

…I love my PVR.  I loved that reunion scene! I bet everybody was looking forward to that. You could just see Shane’s dick go limp when Rick showed up.  Well Shane just be glad you got a piece. Nuff said.

Don’t you just find it ironic that Shane says to Lori that she’s shouldn’t take her guilt out on him. Yet he takes out all his guilt and rage out on Ed. Well Ed deserved that ass kicking anyways. I hate guys like Ed, Merle and Daryl. Inbred idiots. 

Merle’s lucky they’re trekking back for him. I’d a left him and lied. “You shoulda seen it. The zombies were scaling the walls like freaking Spiderman and they ate Merle up.” Whatever! I would have lied my but off. I never would have gone back for Merle. What doe you think is going to happen when you get him back to camp. For guys like Ed, Merle and Daryl might makes right so unless you can kick all they’re butts, well, at the same time.  They’re liable to kill you in your sleep. I don’t need that type of pressure. 

Did you like the  ending?? Remember I said it last week. Merle is coming back as the Governor. Watch and see

The title to this Episode is call Vatos. In this clip Jim, one of the campers, is found digging a hole. That’s right he’s just digging a hole, for no purpose other than to dig a hole. Well this starts freaking everybody out.
