Hollywood can ruin a wet dream! LMAO.....sort of!
When Hollywood gets it right it's amazing.....
When they don't.......there's a George Clooney Batman!!!

Indeed. It even won my wife over and she is not one for the zombie genre. Mind you, she kept on about how good Woody looked. I think I am expected to get in shape and wear snakeskin jackets now.

Yeah it was awesome....and yeah my wife had the same comments...."Wow Woody's in great shape....". I just reminded her though that when the Zombies do come....Woody won't be here to save her! LMAO!!! Needless to say, she wasn't impressed! LMFAO!!!

Fido
cant wait for WWZ & the new series on AMC
I haven't seen zombieland yet, but the g/f said it's HILARIOUS...adding to netflix now!
I gotta say, I hated I am Legend, the book is one of my all time favorites and they ruined the main points of it. I its a movie but the whole idea of trying to cure the creatures was absurd, at one point he mentions the temp was something like 106 degrees. Even if you could get the virus out of them their brain would be fried anyways.
I really like 28 Days/Weeks later and Zombieland. Dawn of the Dead (and remake) are also favorites.
For books, I recommend Day by Day Armageddon by J. L. Bourne, written like a journal by a Naval Officer, you can tell the guy knows a lot about survival and is a fan of the genre.
