Subtle Bluntness

After having sat on the review for an entire week, today is the release date for my Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls review.  It’s about time March 3 got here, because I’ve been going nuts talking the book up in private but without any recourse to spew my review upon the [...]

So I saw Cop Out, and I’m in the minority since I actually enjoyed the movie.  For me, it works as a direct homage to those 80’s buddy cop movies, before they got all worn out by overuse.  Most people apparently didn’t dig it, but I liked it and apparently the audience did too, since [...]

I reviewed Legion over at Den of Geek.  Look on these works, ye Paul Bettany fans, and despair.  Also, there’s Charles S. Dutton and Dennis Quaid, so despair a little extra for those two.
Yes, I know I just mixed Shakespeare’s Hamlet with Shelley’s Ozymandias.  I did that in much the same way Legion mixes The [...]

So, Zombieland.  I got to see it this weekend and, in a word:  awesome.  In two words?  Fucking awesome.  It was this weekend’s big hit and nobody I know who saw it has a bad word to say about it.  Check their blogs and see if you don’t believe me. (And if you don’t buy [...]

Me: Why did you have to go and kill Michael Jackson?
Garth Marenghi: I’m sorry.
Me: Now his zombie won’t stop dancing on my lawn
Garth Marenghi: It’s like “Return of the Living Dead II” only real. No one deserves that. If only I’d known this would happen, I’d’ve spared his life.
Me: luckily for me he seems a [...]

Happy Rebirthday, Jesus!
(Sorry, Christians.)

I mentioned it in passing yesterday, but it’s been published now, so you can read the article (that was supposed to be a blog post) but turned into its own giant treatise on the potential for a zombie MMORPG.
Long story short, I think that the time for a zombie MMORPG is, well, now.  Between XBox [...]
