The zombie series is in fact an adaptation of the comic book series "The Walking Dead", which is a masterpiece of survival fiction, focusing on character over zombie-gore. Not to be cliche, but the series really is about the human condition, and I can't wait to see if the TV show gets it right. "The Walking Dead" is the movie George Romero would have made if he didn't turn into a political hack.

I second that! That scene with the MOH winner is my favorite scene of my favorite episode of my favorite show. I've seen the episode about four times and I still tear up.

Dude, AMC does a great job with Breaking Bad -- maybe they'll do TWD good too! That's awesome.

That's why I never bothered to watch "Land" -- because of the plot. In a post-apocalyptic city with the walking dead on all sides, y'know who will be considered "rich?" Those with the guns, ammo, and skills to use them. Those who can grow food. Those who can build and maintain equipment. People with lots of bits of paper with dead presidents on them or with imaginary bits of paper in a bank -- worthless.

HBO should make the Walking Dead a series (provided they STICK to the source material AND film it in black and white.) Definitely the best zombie story, either in print or on film.

Yeah, what the hell happened to MTV? Was it a conscience decision to stop having anything to do with music, or did the execs just wake up one day to find "My Super Sweet 16" had taken over?

Yup, I liked Death Proof as well.

Beautiful movie. God, I love that dog. Also, damn you Pixar for making a grown man, a war vet no less, weep in public!!

Double damn ABC for canceling Pushing Daisies! Good point.

Yes! I forgot the Big Bang Theory! Bastards moved it past my bedtime, though.
