Hmm... *Check Cym's location*
Oh, well that explains it. Any teenage male who lived in Britain in the '80's at least tried a gamebook. I have thoroughly investigated this statement and found it to be absolutely undeniable. In all sincerity, I'm the youngest person I know who is interested in gamebooks, though I don't consider that a good thing. The obsession with them was mostly past by the time I was born, which is a bit depressing to me. I would have loved a chance to write a gamebook back when they were marketable. I'm still tempted to write one just for funsies, as there's still lots of possibilities in storytelling and mechanics that were never explored by any popular gamebooks. Also, Old Dwarf, I'm glad that you understand my point of view, though I'm more than ok with zombies in general. |

LoL... Yep I was on the gamebooks too.
Welcome to TZG! On the Z movie thing, I believe it is very different from movie to movie. Some movies try to emphasize the different ways the survivors react to the Zs. Some movies try to create an immense feeling of loneliness or hopelessness, some are political statements and some are tried out gore and violence. What differentiates the good from the bad, in my opinion are that the movies are able to do what they want to do. As long as an empty action flick doesnt try to be a meaningful discussion about life, but just wants to be empty entertainment it can be a great movie in my book Cheerio, ST Just Keep Repeating It...

RE: An occasional lurker who decided to join up.
I totally agree with your assessment about most 'zombie' movies.
I've never been a huge fan of them until more recently... There are a few, that I feel break the mold however.... Night of the Living Dead: Not great character interaction, but really sets up the 'paranoid' feeling that I think is missing in many more modern zombie flicks. Shawn of the Dead, great characters, tongue in cheek humor, but still with real thrills and fear. Dawn of the Dead, the original and the 'remake'. Both focus on how people band together and fight...and ultimately change as people. There may be a few more, but most of the others just fall into the 'goretastic' category. Some aren't even watchable. A word about Video Games....Quite frankly, that is where all the most innovative character development, and the best storylines have been found. Video games, to me, are the new Hollywood. Whereas the movie industry seems content with just repackaging old glories, the Video Game industry is really pushing the envelope and making people take notice. Zalgo....he comes. |

RE: An occasional lurker who decided to join up.
Supervike...it doesn't make for much conversation, but I agree with pretty much everything you said. Your list of zombie movies is good, I agree with most of your statements about Hollywood, though I should also mention that I feel that a lot of modern novels are pretty mediocre too...the only real thing I can add is that I think that there's a lot of crap in the gaming world to match the new and innovative concepts, but that's a necessary evil for a successful industry.
