Sh*t

From the (2/24/09) Nerd World blog at TIME.com:

Zombies are the New Vampires

Look, Diablo Cody is making a zombie movie!  That tears it. (Takes off hat and stomps on it.)

At first I thought it was a sequel to Juno, where Dwight Schrute eats that chick's brain... my hopes are dashed.  It's an adaptation of a novel called Breathers: A Zombie's Lament:

"Breathers" centers on a recently deceased Everyman and newly minted zombie who is having trouble adjusting to his new existence.  All that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls."

Plus, there's that zombie version of Pride & Prejudice, Marvel Zombies, World War Z... I'm just saying.  At least zombie banks aren't real.

Well, I just hope zombies aren't ENTIRELY played out.  

On the PRO side: mine aren't really zombies, and it's more a techno-thriller, and the word "zombie" is never used seriously.  

On the CON side: UGH.  Also, I prefer the old school Dawn of the Dead/Shaun of the Dead story.  Is that WAYYYY too lame/boring compared to freaking Diablo Cody?

It's just- once again, my subconscious is SO predictable.  I'll always go through the same stacks in the same order at the library, have the same reactions to the same T.V. shows, get a cute purse thinking it's special just before seeing A ZILLION ugly versions of it at Macy's and like all the same horror sh*t at the same time as everybody else.  

Isn't that creepy?  Once again: UGH.
