Walking Dead NY Times review

The CDC wasn’t the only thing exploding in Sunday night’s season finale of ‘The Walking Dead.’
According to figures released by AMC, ratings for the zombie-drama soared to a series high, with 6 million viewers tuning in.
If you consider the 11 PM encore episode, that number rockets to a whopping 8.1 million.
This news comes as no surprise. The hit drama has attracted a huge following in its meager 6-episode first season. Last Sunday’s penultimate episode delivered 5.6 million viewers, which were up from the previous week’s 4.8 million. The Halloween premiere of ‘Dead’ attracted 5.3 million.

Just getting started. We DVR'd the whole series from start to finish over the weekend. Beginning reminded me of "28 Days Later", one of my personal favorites when it comes to zombie movies. Looks like it's zombie day at our place today.

Yeah true. Great show. For some reason it makes me want to get back to writing stuff, which I've been doing some. People would probably find it funny I'd like to write anything looking at my post.
 
Can't wait for Breaking Bad to come back in a few weeks. The Killing was pretty good, too. AMC is putting out all the best TV shows these days.

It felt as though 28 Days Later was two movies mashed into one. Each half should have been it's own movie. I liked the first half more.

The opening sequence definitely grabs your attention. I really liked the minimalist qualities of the film, and I think the plot built interestingly from the typical horror film into a kind of commentary on the human survival instinct, as well as the propensity for tremendous brutality when necessary. Almost a kind of hero's journey in a way. Just one of those films that really worked for me.

After the huge success of the first season of The Walking Dead, AMC took the decision to offer viewers a lengthier experience this time around, with an extra six episodes added to the shows schedule. (making a total of 12) However, The Hollywood Reporter now reveal the somewhat disappointing news that the network will in fact be splitting the season in two, with six episodes airing from October 16th, and picking up again on February 12th, 2012.

The good news? The first episode will be a 90 minute extravaganza! Stay tuned for more news on season two of The Walking Dead as and when we have it!

Rescue Me's Michael Zegen Joins The Walking Dead Season 2

Rescue Me's Michael Zegen Joins The Walking Dead Season 2

The ex Rescue Me Firefighter will join the second season of AMC's awesome Zombie drama series as a new character not featured in the comic books..
Michael Zegen will join the Zombie fodder for the second season of AMC's The Walking Dead He will play a character called Randall, another new addition not from the comic.



Here is all we know about Randall courtesy of EW..

"..a skinny Southern kid who finds himself in a rather unique set of post-apocalypse circumstances. Beyond that, producers are staying mum on the role."​

Apparently it is a recurring role but I wouldn't expect him to stay off a Zombie's dinner plate for too long.
 
Christina Hendricks Approached The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero About Being A Zombie

Christina Hendricks Approached The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero About Being A Zombie

AMC's hit television show The Walking Dead is off an running this season, and it seems like more and more celebrities are throwing their name in the ring to cameo as zombies. Well put another name on that list, Christina Hendricks.

There have been a multitude of celebrities who have wanted to appear on AMC's hit TV series The Walking Dead. Well you can add one more name to the growing list. Christina Hendricks, of Mad Men fame, approached Executive Producer Greg Nicotero about the possibility of becoming zombie for the show at this years Golden Globes. Nicotero said to What’s On TV, </I>“I went to the Golden Globes when Walking Dead was nominated and three of the actresses from Mad Men came over and said, ‘We want to be zombies’ and I’m looking at Christina Hendricks and going, ‘No, God, how are we gong to do this?’ So I just introduced them to Norman Reedus to distract them from the idea.”</I itxtHarvested="0" itxtNodeId="95">

While the idea of playing a Walker might appeal to some people Nicotero says it really not that glamorous, “The idea of being a zombie is great, but then you come down and you sit in the make-up chair and it’s hot and it’s sweaty." He has even had to talk his his dad out of a role, “My dad who is 75 years old wanted to come down. I had to talk him out of it too!”</I itxtHarvested="0" itxtNodeId="90">

Michael Rooker, "I'm a zombie killing machine, baby!" Yeah, this guy's awesome.

As recounted by Susan Karlin of the LA Times HeroComplex, Michael Rooker attended the recent Aliens to Zombie convention in Hollywood carrying a large box of life-sized prosthetic severed hands that he planned to dole out as souvenirs.

“Thirty years honing my craft, and it’s come to this,” he joked.

Of course, all the fans of the hit AMC drama The Walking Dead know what those mementos represent. After a long absence, Rooker looks to make his return on the show this coming Sunday and we can only hope he brings the same mix of humor, bigotry, and badassness that made Merle an instant fan favorite during Season One.

“Nobody expected this level of Merle worship,” said Rooker with a laugh. “He’s such an out-there, crazy, anything goes kind of guy. There’s an uncertainty about Merle – like he’ll come back when you least expect it. He’s the boogeyman, and viewers love that suspense. The number one question I’m asked is, `When is your character coming back?’ I can’t say when, but I promise it’ll be a wild ride.

“The comic, zombie and gaming fans are a hoot – and they’re really into the plot twists,” he added. “They’re constantly throwing out these theories about Merle secretly stalking the group in the woods or luring zombies to their original camp.”

“I’ve gotten more heat from the anticipation of my coming back to the show than any other thing I’ve done,” Rooker said. “Because of that, I found a whole new group of fans, and the gaming company would never have contacted me if it wasn’t for that.”

One of those things Rooker has been able to branch out and do is voice-acting. Apparently, you'll be hearing Mr. Rooker's voice at some point during Call of Duty:Black Ops.
 
THE WALKING DEAD Star Norman Reedus Reflects On His Favorite Zombie Kills

THE WALKING DEAD Star Norman Reedus Reflects On His Favorite Zombie Kills

MTV was able to grab an interview with the coolest cast member of the popular AMC zombie show. Norman, who plays Daryl in the show explains why his character is so well loved.
Daryl-Dixon-the-walking-dead-.jpg


Daryl is one cool customer. One of my favorite reasons to like Daryl is that he really is the only character that doesn't need to be apart of the group. It's entirely his choice to be there, and as a viewer you have to wonder why he would put himself in harms way. He could disappear into the woods and eat all the dirty squirrels he likes, but something keeps him there and that is what makes Daryl's character truly grounded.

So what is the reason? It's fairly simple, it has a lot to do with Daryl's backstory that we haven't seen, but has been hinted at. Daryl was a neglected child and beaten severely. Norman Reedus explains to MTV, "He's looking at them for a very different kind of survival, for interaction that he's not used to, which is a new world for him."

The Economy & Horror

MTV: What is it about Daryl Dixon that's just so f---ing cool?

Reedus: Well, it's hard not to look cool while holding a crossbow, first off. But he's interesting in that he has a different sort of struggle than anyone else. He's trying to just get along with people for the first time, I think. That one moment where Carol reaches down to kiss him on the forehead and he [recoils], he thinks he's about to get hit. There's this damaged thing about him that's really interesting. And when you have a backdrop like "The Walking Dead," it's even more powerful. But you have Rick and Shane fighting for what's the best thing in this group, and Daryl is just sort of trying to find his footing. He's not used to people telling him he's worth a damn. So once people start telling him that, his first reaction is fight or flight. He's such an interesting person. You could have that personality type in a Wall Street movie and he'd still be interesting.

MTV: Daryl has made a lot of personal progress this season, but will Sophia's death set him back? How does he react to finding out that she's gone?

Reedus: It's going to be interesting. It sets him back in certain ways, in that the hope's gone. That little girl that he's looking for, if she's one of them, he doesn't really give a crap anymore. You can have these so-called leaders of the group saying "do this, do that," and he doesn't really need them anymore. So you find out that Daryl sort of separates himself a little bit. He reacts violently to anything emotional revolving around that story line. There's another side of that in that he's looked upon more as one of the leaders now, so there's a new set of responsibilities that Daryl has to deal with. Whether he wants them, whether he wants to take them, [is another story]. But it's interesting to see him looked upon as a leader. Fireworks fly. It's not necessarily something he wanted or asked for. He's not super thrilled about it.

MTV: Daryl has had some of the best zombie kills of the series. Which one was your favorite this season?

Reedus: Ooh. My best kill of the season? Well, I like last season, the double-ax to the throat. That was fun. [This season], I liked slashing the zombie churchgoer across the face; that was kind of fun. And I liked shooting the well-dressed zombie in the woods [in the season premiere], that was kind of fun too, then cutting his chest open and reaching inside of him, the gut bag. That was cool. That was a lot of fun. That was Andy and me being, "Ooh, gross!" You'd put your hand inside and it goes [makes a balloon deflating noise], and they put tubes of hot air that would blow in your face with gas inside the intestines. It was disgusting. [Co-executive producer and makeup effects designer] Greg Nicotero is completely twisted.​
