Just... just... just look (http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Classic-Ultraviolent/dp/1594743347).
I don't even want to know how you found that.... :P
Yeah, someone sent me a message about this a while back.....weird to say the least.
I must have this!
QuoteMy darling, there is no joy in killing without you.
DEAR LORD YES.

Oh my golly- gee, that looks awesome!

That's pretty much how he came up with the idea. It's 85% the original novel, plus zombie fighting.

It's one of my favorites too. And it just got so much better.
Yeah....Philistine! ;)
The fact that high school and college require everyone to read specific books based on some unknown criteria is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. On top of that, they have to read garbage like Canterbury Tales because... why?
..And driver's ed and computer classes are electives. Nice work there, high school curriculum.
Cantebury Tales....garbage? Yep, Western civilization is doomed. We debate this endlessly in the academy, the worth of a canon, what criteria it should have, if it should exist. I will say that primary education needs a MAJOR reform in America, especially in the way literature is approached. I will also say that there is value in providing an increasingly diverse and divisive culture with a common frame of reference. If we read Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, etc., we look at the roots of the culture we live in, whether it is "our" culture or not. To share a knowledge of these texts is, ideally, to share something that improves us, and gives us common ground on which to build.

Plus, hey! Zombies!
Dont ask me, my required reading was Cien Años de Soledad which kind of has zombies (dead characters reapearing, the main cast walking around like zombies due to a diease for a while).
Almost as good. ;)

..which is being produced by Elton John, no less. :D (Pride and Predator, I mean.)
He said he envisioned it as being the "first Jane Austen movie men would drag their girlfriends to."

**Yes, I know they're already dead, but...more dead
