    as much as i dislike romero's new shit and feel that the walking dead will be the new "gold standard" for living dead properties, i gotta say i don't like the idea of this place changing itself (even if it's just a few words) just to get attention, advertising dollars, or hits.

    I see where you're coming from prof. but GAr no longer holds or has proven he deserves a monopoly on the genre when the best it has to offer doesn't come from him anymore and hasn't in a long time.

    Now if we were advertising runners I'd be concerned.

    The ghouls in TWD are the same product just a different brand.

    And Romero has been peddling us New formula coke for years now. Perhaps it's time to switch to pepsi.

    What does it matter to us how this place is advertised? This place isn't free, ya know. If Neil can make mo' money, I'm all for it. Runners, Climbers, Transvestites, whatever kind of zombies he wishes to promote...

    Post of the day son!

    And how the hell did you get your hands on Zack Snyder's next project script?

    I agree. Neil has been running this place for a while now and while I'm not sure what his bottom line is he deserves to make as much green as he can.

    As long as it doesn't compromise the quality of the site, what's the problem?

    In fact it could get him the flexibility to do uber cool things on the site that were previously too expensive, who knows.

    It's worth a try imo.

    The world is moving on buddy. GAR is stagnating, and although he nurtured my love of zombies, I am more than happy to embrace the walking dead on this forum/site.

    It's a shame we aren't all posting here and saying...

    "that walking dead looks ok, but we have 6 EPIC, kick ass GAR movies to talk about and maybe more to look forward to".

    ...but that isn't the case...the Walking Dead offers something fresh, a new perspective, new adventures in the realms of undead survival horror (tm). If this site wants to blend that with old skool GAR, I don't see the problem.

    Edit: we also have old skool WD readers here as well...so it's not unatural for them to want a place to discuss it.

    Aso, waiting years for one film and that film disapointing the shit out of us is getting old.

    If there are other sources of zombiedom that will give us joy, then why not have a place to discuss it and in turn advertise that we're doing it?

    I'm a n00b, not even cracked open my two hard back volumes yet.

    But I know what it is like to "discover" something at the beggining and be able to say "I was there at the start...before the bandwagon got jumped on".

    Being able to say that does feel good.

    Before you open that first hard back, make sure you've got no plans in the immediate future because you won't be able to put it down. And, unlike other trades/comics I read, ya can't fly through it... well you CAN, technically, but you find yourself setting a nice moderate pace to really take in the pictures as well as the story.

    Really? What was said? Last we heard, he hadn't been approached to direct an episode and he would turn it down if they did ask...
