Sigh, I knew this day would come. I am not even cautiously optimistic that they will make a faithful adaptation. What about you guys?

Since the undead seem to travel in packs or hordes, and Quislings think like them, i wonder if they tried grouping up into packs or even hordes and if any were documented.

Quislings seemed quite common but they have a pretty short life expectancy. At least from what i understand, particularly early on.

Maybe they were more of a thing during the great panic and the couple years after back when more people probably became quislings. But by the time people began retaking land most of them died, or reanimated. So if there were hordes they probably didn't last long

I have been watching Last of Us, and the bleakness shines through as good as it is.

my favorite Zombie media is still the book World War Z by Max Brooks.

but that being said, I revisited the movie for WWZ, and now that enough time has passed for me to get off my self righteous high horse, I have to say, it is a solid, dare I say excellent zombie movie.

it took me a long time. but now that I am able to get over my initial, and fairly long lasting gripe that it should have been an HBO series with every chapter being an episode, the movie, while obviously different from the source material is exactly what I want right now out of a zombie.movie.

I don't know if it is just this moment in time with the wars and toxic political environment.

But I get a hit of happiness at the end of watching the movie that I really needed.

I hated one book and felt only one book should never have been written because it felt so bleak that hope itself was absent. that book was Cormac McCarthy's: "The Road"

And with damage porn and violence and destruction and high stakes Marvel film end of all life on Earth...

the movie WWZ hit me as a high quality and enjoyable viewing experience that upon resolve, in not an abusively long run time, that made me enjoy watching a film again.

it may become as much, while different, a revisited comfort movie, as the original book which I reread (or listen to the audio book) every 3 years or so.

I’m almost done reading The Zombie Survival Guide, and I have the World War Z book. 
But what if I want to watch the movie? Will I just be angry the whole time if I read the book first and then watch the movie? 
So if I watch the movie first, I won’t be that upset, and then I read the book, I still won’t be upset because I’m enjoying myself. Good or bad, I at least want to watch the movie, so I can say whatever it’s good or bad.
Then again, I can’t watch the Yu-Gi-Oh dub anymore without being pissed because of how much better the Japanese comic is and how much 4KKKids ruined it for the USA. Oh shit, the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Japanese cartoon is a better adaptation to a book than the World War Z movie was an “adaptation” to the book. When some people think of World War Z, they will think of the Brad Pitt movie, then the book.

Anyways, just asking if I should watch the movie first, even if it has nothing to do with the book.

I don't know much about SIR, but I know that part of the gun is made of wood, and it's semi-auto rifle like a WWII weapon and it uses 9mm rounds. So, is the M1 Carbine the closest thing to SIR in real life

I listend to the audiobook maybe 10 times already over the years because i love it, but every time i get to that story i cringe so hard idk

Makes me wonder, which story do you dislike the most?
