I don't know it might be nice to see a movie where the male love interest is more interested in female protaganist's brains than boobs

Why am I reminded of the TV sketch from Shaun of the Dead where the girl on the talkshow tries to justify her relationship with her zombie boyfriend?
You know, we could all organize protests infront of Hollywood and demand this film end, due to both trying to Ruin Zombies (Which, in my opinion, would be a more liberal thing) and Necrophilia (A straight up Conservative thing). Everyone would agree with us, and only Teenage girls with no voting powers would complain, and eventually, all the bad publicity from every news network would force the movie to shut down.
Seriously guys! "Occupy Hollywood/Protect Zombies Campaign" Could work! Let's do it now, before it's too late!

What this studio should have said, both to the moron who suggested making it into a movie, and then to the face of the moron who made this book.

You can't do that! zombies as monsters are scary because they are a mindless assimilating personless force! As artistic symbolism they work because they represent mindless oppressive contagions like stupidity and mainstream media! A characterized zombie isn't a zombie it's just a GUY WITH A ROTTING FACE! Sorry I had to state the obvious but how will people learn?!
I nearly coughed up a lung when I read that on the imdb page. Why John? Why?TKretts3 said:

It's an interesting point, but 'Bub' (the name of the gun totting zombie according to wikipedia) is a deliberate anomaly in the film, he only possesses a few past memories, and he isn't exactly romance material. The ability to feel love and compassion is certainly not a zombie trait.
So they replace a blood sucking undead with a flesh eating one? I mean who would want to have romance with a rotting corpse? Also, if it's not either the "living dead" or somekind of infectious, rabid, cannibalistic creature, then it probably isn't a zombie.
You know when a cliche is dead when people try to make it into a romance...
My theory: Any concept "monster" always start out serious and scary, then if they become popular enough, are immitated and new ideas about them come forth. The monster then basically becomes a cliche after a while and around the same time people start making comedies or cute versions of them. Last step before it dies and people start becoming sick of it is romance.
Examples of cliches: Vampires, pirates, ninjas, witches, and now it appears zombies.
Of course, many people still enjoy the listed above, but I would say they aren't quite as popular as they were before becoming overdone.

zombies are not hot...zombies are disgusting..no one wants to fuck a zombie
you cant have a realationship with a zombie...it would be horribly dull/depressing
what will be next? gouls?, deamons? banshees?..actually YES, they should do one where a guy falls in love with a banshee!

ummm dracula?...blade?TheBanMan said:Vampires certainly have not always been sexy! Go back to pre-Anne Rice and (shudder) Twilight bastardizations of the mythos. Trust me, there wasn't anything sexy about Max Schreck in "Nosferatu."Littaly said:I heard about this a while ago, my first reaction was that it was some kind of parody, or that it would be at least somewhat humorous, but looking at it more closely, it doesn't look that way
Honestly, I this has potential to be so bad it's good. Vampires have always been sexy, and werewolves are to some extent about a more primal, animalistic side of humanity, so on some level it does kind of make sense to re-imagine it as a schlocky teen romance. Zombies however, despite being almost as bankable as vampires, have absolutely zero sex-value. My guess though, is that whoever decided that this movie should be made, wasn't aware of that, and ordered this movie solely based on the numbers of what sells. Meaning, this is probably headed for a spectacular train wreck!
It's bad enough vamps have been cutdown to angsty teens, but zombies? Is nothing sacred? Ok, granted, I do own "Romeo & Juliet vs. The Living Dead" but that doesn't try to bill itself as anything serious.
For shame!
You know... I started respecting Nicholas Hoult after he was in X-men.
Now... not so much.
Can't blame him I suppose. He probably does have a mortgage to pay.

Well, Twilight dealt with bestiality and pedophilia, might as well throw the necrophiliacs a bone.

Actually, on second thought, probably not a good idea. They'd probably end up trying to bang it.
