Orvar Säfström says not to get hopes up

[The Great Gazoo]

No I havent read it to be honest, I kind of considered myself a bit too old for comics, even serious grown up ones like this, but based on what everybodys been talking about on here, I may have to take a look! I thought so too until I gave them a chance. I'm glad I did, though I haven't followed the entire series, I have liked what I've read quite a bit.

There's an Oct 18th embargo on reviews for the show so we'll know more in just over a weeks time.

i just checked out AMC's Fear Fest schedule. they are playing the premiere (10pm) behind "from dusk til dawn" at 6pm and "dawn of the dead" (remake) at 8pm. I figured AMC would probably lead into it with a zombie flick and there you go.

Orvar Säfström? What the hell?

I figured AMC would probably lead into it with a zombie flick and there you go. That's strange. Just the other day I checked and they had the original Night listed to play before TWD. Wonder why they changed it? Night would have been a MUCH better lead into the show rather than Yawn...

Night would have been a MUCH better lead into the show rather than Yawn... When I checked that's what was listed too. Probably changed it because Night is old and boring & they want something "hip and fresh" to "attract teh kidz who iz down wit da sicknez dawg!"

i find that quite odd, too. seems that since most interviews/press releases i've read about TWD refer to NotLD, they'd make the wise choice and show the citizen kane of zombie films instead of dawn04....plus, seems like dawn04 has been on the air non-stop since 2005 or so. better yet, why not show the original dawn? not that i have cable anymore. i'm having some buddies over that evening and while we're waiting for TWD to make it to the intertubes, we'll be enjoying the original dawn, lots of beer, and pizza.

[bassman]

. better yet, why not show the original dawn? That thought came to me as well. Let's see....you've got a remake made in CANADA, while the original film is still respected and made in AMERICA. You would think a network called American Movie Classics would go for the actual american movies. But, ya know...they're a business and Yawn is the latest craze with the kiddies... Maybe Ruben$tein is asking too much for the broadcast rights...

[EvilNed]

Considering NotLD is public domain, I'm guessing money's got nothing to do with it.

As someone who worked in the comic book industry I guess I don't understand that line of thinking. They are written, drawn, inked, lettered, and colored by adults. The stories are generally geared towards adults and in this case specifically to adults. How does the medium the story comes to you in determine if you are too old for it. It is a book, with images. You can appreciate a good story certainly, and you can appreciate good art no? Why not the two combined?
