I alawys wonder why people don't just hid for a month or two. Dead stuff rots pretty quick.<br />I love Deadwood, it's possibly one of the best bits of TV I've ever seen. the swearing is allegedly deliberate because the people of the time would generally by poorly educated. Not sure that adds up because otherwise they're pretty well spoken.<br /><br />If you've not seen "The Wire" I'd recommend that. It's another very good HBO series.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846494111041803704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-17818095305679758442012-05-13T02:09:16.633+01:002012-05-13T02:09:16.633+01:00I must show this post to my 10 year old. He's...I must show this post to my 10 year old. He's been interested in zombies ever since 2008 and the financial meltdown. Why, because I tried to explain to him the concept of a "zombie bank". Anyway, one thing led to another, and soon it was every book and story on zombies that could be found. Oh, and as the Euro crisis continues to boil, the term "zombie bank" seems back in vogue. I cannot draw to save my life, but surely the concept of a zombie bank must be great fodder for a good cartoonist!<br /><a href="http://www.greenworldbvi.com/alternative-investments-options/agricultural-farmland/" rel="nofollow">agriculture investment</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829375621188204129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-1817544524343115522012-05-10T08:35:30.276+01:002012-05-10T08:35:30.276+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wet Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210183794861633522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-2441465898707119602012-05-09T20:33:07.118+01:002012-05-09T20:33:07.118+01:00Nice job on the ceiling, nice salad,nice confusion...Nice job on the ceiling, nice salad,nice confusion about us being in the apartment hahaha, wished it was true, a meager 15 degrees here and raining, raining, raining, climate change? hahahaha!<br />Nice series: 'Boss', mayor of Chicago is being told by his doctor that he has a rare neurological desease, within a few years he will experience a total mental and physical breakdown, the first effects will start soon, nobody is supposed to know of course. Meanwhile the plotting and manipulating is going on as usual , cynical, brilliantly made, very entertaining. I suspect you people still have not seen 'Breaking bad', never met anyone yet that did not think it was about the best they have ever seen so if you have not seen it give it a go!Chrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748747971477198309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-28204402867421683622012-05-09T15:09:40.241+01:002012-05-09T15:09:40.241+01:00"The word "fuck" was said 43 times ..."The word "fuck" was said 43 times in the first hour of the show."<br /><br />used as filler when they run out of script: insider talk from set worker. "fuck" was more of an east coast thing rather than the west. a lot of the wonder of Deadwood i think was lifted from this cool book: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Gunfighters-Kansas-Cowtowns-1867-1886/dp/0803251378 which is a great read. your welcome!<br /><br />Walking Dead's soap opera aspect drove me crazy more than the plot holes. there is something driving the zombies revealed at the end of season II. is it worth the wait? uh, no.<br /><br />the movie THE DEAD is a new zombie movie groovie from S. Africa. i would recommend that film over this braindead series.vaudeviewgalor raandisisraisinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045187732283895410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-70662823603114049042012-05-09T14:41:36.522+01:002012-05-09T14:41:36.522+01:00I do like The Walking Dead, though it is at its be...I do like The Walking Dead, though it is at its best when it's about humans dealing with humans rather than about the zombies. The title after all refers, obviously, to the humans left alive rather than the zombies.<br /><br />I think the original comic book is better (as is usually the case). The series has deviated quite a bit from the comics and I suspect that a couple of the really grim events from the prison sequence won't happen (or at least to the same people) next season.<br /><br />There are a few zombie books around where civilization doesn't totally collapse. A couple, by Mira Grant, (while still having a good few plot holes) has the world survive primarily because they're so familiar with George Romero films!Alberonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245608403275391613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-53282832790989875722012-05-09T14:12:41.239+01:002012-05-09T14:12:41.239+01:00Yes, it's still feckin raining in the UK, or s...Yes, it's still feckin raining in the UK, or should that be YUK!<br />Glad we're off to Texas on holiday in a couple of weeks, at least it'll be warm over there.<br /><br />As for Deadwood, I've just finished it,3 series, 36 episodes, brilliant. Very Shakespearean in style I thought.. Ian McShane, as you say is superb. I had the same problem with some of the characters and not being able to understand them, seems to be the programme as I'm ok with other things except possibly the Wife!<br /><br />Deadwood:<br />"The word "fuck" was said 43 times in the first hour of the show.It has been reported that the series had a total count of 2,980 "fucks" and an average of 1.56 utterances of "fuck" per minute of footage".......<br />they don't write 'em like that anymorePhil Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992017267449727399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-26775610318516765032012-05-09T13:34:53.259+01:002012-05-09T13:34:53.259+01:00Im into the second series of The Walking Dead and ...Im into the second series of The Walking Dead and the budget cuts which were incurred (despite the series being a major success for the network) have really started to show.<br />It is still enjoyable though, but I too am somewhat confused by the fact that everyone seems to forget you need to shoot zombies in the head to start off with, any 8 year old can tell you that!Antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796591087250698078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-72723720251396455222012-05-09T13:15:00.602+01:002012-05-09T13:15:00.602+01:00I think that fact that the majority of humans are ...I think that fact that the majority of humans are stupid and could only be classed as slightly higher than a zombie in terms of motivation, physical ability and mental function is why they take over. At least zombies seem to function to the same gial (tasty brains nomnom) and don't start insulting each other.AngryMurlochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506100258552462226noreply@blogger.com
