THERE'S A ZOMBIE ROMANCE MOVIE
No, really. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1588173/)
I'm not making that up.
And somehow, it's based off of a book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_bodies).
I'm...just...ARGH
Humanity is doomed.
ed: Plot synopsis, via Wikiped:
R is a zombie. After a zombie apocalypse, he slowly moves through an America made up of collapsed buildings, rusted cars, shattered glass, and hollowed-out high-rises. He can speak only in grunts and simple syllables and craves human brains to get high on the memories they contain. After eating the brain of a suicidal teen, R is overcome with love for the teen's companion, Julie Grigio. R rescues Julie from certain death by his zombie pack and takes her back to his lair. She eventually leaves, and R follows her to back to Citi Stadium, the largest remaining human habitation.[2]

Oh God, it began shooting in my city, why!?

John Malkovich!
-
I KNOW, RIGHT?
Wait, sorry, my mood has actually improved since then.
Seriously, though, I think this sounds terrible.
No amount of John Malkovich can fix that for me.

Is it any worse than vampire romance movies that are based off of books?
The studio behind The Twilight Saga, Summit Entertainment, is backing the film.
Oh.

Basically they took a good concept (the original novel, don't know if the book itself is good, but it most certainly did not have any zombie-human romance) and turned it into a sparkling zombie story.

Apparently there was...kinda.
According to Wikipedia (see quote on the OP), zombies eat brains to experience their memories or some bullshit.
Zombie eats brain of angsty teenager and falls in love with angsty teenager's girlfriend.
urgh

Honestly it sounds like it could be amusing.

In a "Bile Fascination (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BileFascination)" way, possibly.
Can't say I'm going to hazard watching it, though.

Hollywood? Dead?
Read this whole article. (http://www.cracked.com/blog/how-hollywood-decided-to-reboot-classic-childrens-tales/) The punchline is amazing, if not absolutely tragic.
-
Meh. Am I really supposed to be shocked?
-
I wonder if you shoot these zombies with shotguns in the head, they sparkle.
-
Hollywood has been dead for ten decades if we believe the press.
-
Ever since cinema was a thing, it has been a lifeless corpse swooning over some random hot chick.
-
The whole concept is just. . .euuughhh. I have a friend who loved the book, and she immediately added that the dude isn't rotting or anything, he's not "that kind" of zombie, but this really doesn't eliminate the whole UNDEAD thing.
At least vampires have the cultural "sexy" background, and have for centuries. Zombies? Mmmm nope.
-
Meh, **** 'em. I can't wait to see a day when Hollywood stops making movies and all the big record companies go under.

Am I the only person that thinks movies are cool and don't wish doom and destruction upon the entire industry?
-
I'm with you, Sai.
Too bad most of the movies that come out are terrible.

Not the entire industry. just bad sections of it. Either way, I hardly pay for individual movies now adays.... BECAUSE I USE NETFLIX FBI, NOT CAUSE OF ANYTHING ELSE.
