I remember this, we had a thread, I broke out my copy of Prince's Batman album.

"We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

Wait... how far did they go with this thing?

http://www.quansul.com/ contains this... "After the tragic events of March and April 2005, Quan'sul is recovering, and is now open for business again! For latest information about doing business in the municipality, please visit our business page."

Did BBC write that? Maybe just a fan? Whois says "Answers 2000 Limited" but no idea what that is. Sounds pretty un-Laotian though. Haha their businesses are awesome though. Acne Potato Company. Yes Acne.

also, it links to this Thanatos thing... WEIRD.

I bet tihs is all covered in the previous thread which I shall begin searching now.

Max Brooks did have a coupla good points in the World War Z book, that the problem with zombies ain't so much the armies of the walking dead, but what to do with hundreds of millions of refugees escaping them.

Also, that if there was a zombie breakout, do you really think the world's governments would let that fact get out before it's too late? Our history with HIV and SARS haven't exactly provided the best examples.

Is that what this is publicity for or something? There's a site called baserape.com that's linked to a few times but I've not the courage to look at it at work.

― Will M., Tuesday, 17 April 2007 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

That book is great. I thought Brooks really tackled all the angles.

― lindseykai, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

Angles are good, writing annoys the hell out of me.

Some of the interview style is annoying, like the interjections in parts that even Terry Gross wouldn't do. the interjections are even more glaring in the audio book part.

― kingfish, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

-part

Also whenever he tries to get writerly with lots of adjectives and stuff, man, people just do not all of a sudden talk like that.

I remember complaining about the writing to my boyfriend when I first started reading the book. But I just accepted it because I loved the concept otherwise. I think the ideas he brought up overshadowed the unrealistic dialogue for me.

― lindseykai, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

agree with everything said about Brooks book, it's the only book in years I've actually read complete.

Anyone recommend any others?

one year passes...

I didn't want to start a Woody Harrelson thread, so I'm posting this here: Woody got mega-stoned & mistook a paparazzi photographer for an actual zombie!

― Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield (Pillbox), Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:54 (seventeen years ago)

And here's a clip of the incident

― Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield (Pillbox), Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:00 (seventeen years ago)

anyway, Zombieland?

― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:06 (seventeen years ago)

tmz paparazzi deserve no better treatment than the ol' "remove the head and destroy the brain" imo

― fucken cumlord (omar little), Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:08 (seventeen years ago)

Do you think they make moany zombie noises when they walk around airports?

― Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield (Pillbox), Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:09 (seventeen years ago)

Jesus, that paparazzi dude was a grade A obnoxious asshole. Dude's pretty much straight up "PLEASE FLIP OUT AND PUMMEL ME SO I CAN SUE YOU".

lolz at the zombie story though.

Yes, it was all I could do not to punch the computer screen. And I am a very reasonable person. His voice whining on and on and on and on..."Woody you assaulted me...Woody you assaulted me...Woody you assaulted me..."

― Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 11 April 2009 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

Maybe he was actually a zombie & that is all he knew how to say.

"The plot continues in this manner—Lizzie, Darcy, zombies, blah, blah, blah—until the end, and there isn’t much more to say about it, except to reiterate is awfulness."

four months pass...

A zombie attack would lead to the collapse of civilisation, says Professor Robert Smith? - who includes a question mark in his name to differentiate between him and The Cure's lead singer.

― James Mitchell, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

mm yeah because there's not too many Robert Smith's are there.

― Great Scott! It's Molecular Man. (Ste), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 12:53 (sixteen years ago)

It's not like he could use a middle initial or anything.
