I think what the show implies, if it hasn't been said, is that zombies more or less just stop moving and kind of "sleep" until disturbed, if they haven't fed in a while. That's why they just sit there (like in a car) until you make noise and "wake" them up. And in terms of at least the time scale of the show, they can

The thing is, the show seems to invite us to view what Carol did or what Rick is doing with some kind of ambiguity, and there just… isn't. What she did was stupid as well as murderous. The whole point of forming a community is living according to some kind of standard, where you can trust the conduct of your fellow

Yeah. I thought there could be an interesting thing to say there about the "use" of people in communities. In trying to build a community at the prison, optimism, a sense of humor, just being nice could actually be a really valuable and rare commodity, and probably worth protecting. It was a little silly to let them

Yeah, my local video store sells those. The ingredient has to be xylitol or peppermint oil or something with a cooling effect on the tongue.

O'Brian wrote a couple of great kid's books, but the Aubrey-Maturin novels are best appreciated by adults, I think (unlike, say, C.S. Forester's Hornblower books, which are more all ages). He also wrote the fantastic Testimonies.

I think Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a pretty good example of an adaptation that gets everything right without getting everything the same.

Yes, this, which is also why this book is my one exception to "I won't hate or criticize something without experiencing it." I just can't stand the "I'm so special, Ender is like me" attitude of people who like the book, and knowing what I know about the book and its content, and the people who like it, on top of all

I think the reviewer is mirroring or inspired by sentiments examined more at length in this essay:

Card is a producer. There are rumors that his deal has been diluted to insignificance, but they're just uncredited "sources". It's not true that he's "already gotten paid", in the sense that his only participation was for film rights that have already purchased and that's done.

Well, that happens after the events of the movie, anyway, so it's not really within the purview of this review. I think Vishnevetsky's analysis closely mirrors this essay:

Congratulations on the house! That's awesome.

I don't agree. That's part of it, but I actually thought he provided more detail than most of the Hatesongers in pointing out the disingenuous chord progression and faux-menace. Like, he actually had musical criticisms of the song (in addition to the superficial ones you point out) and I appreciated that, even if I

In addition to all that, it's so self-identifyingly juvenile, literally.

I love Bill Bryson and corgis! Your mom rocks!

The zombies may cease to be scary, but the drama persists because who are the real monsters?!

Are you cruising for a piece of ass?

What's wrong with Remo Williams? (I'm seriously asking, I thought it was completely awesome when I saw it for the first and last time 25 years ago or whatever).

Is this where we appreciate Green Hornet? Because I liked it a lot.

I like the idea that there's some reasonable quota of incest porn the internet is allowed, and we're just exceeding it by, like, 30%.

Well, then your question isn't about why it's so popular, but about why anyone would ever get off on it, right?
