My topic is going to be developments in Zombie culture. What is Zombie culture? It's however zombies influence (typically popular) culture. That's movies, books, knick-knacks, and some music. I would specify on any one of those categories but there simply is not enough change in any of those realms alone to create an active blog. (And rather than watching every crappy zombie movie, I'll review ones that are excellent.)
The subject is certainly directed to a specific cadre of cinephiles (given that zombie popularity is almost entirely due to movies) but it will also provide the less hardcore with a filter for what I believe to be the worth-while zombie news. These cinephiles would like to receive information on new developments that withstand the rigorous dissection of an informed zombie enthusiast. A lot of crap comes out regarding zombies that don't regard the cult vision of a 'good zombie movie'. They don't really need to see about every self-conscious, below b-movie that falls on its face. Perhaps to be more specific, I would like to thin the herd of zombie-related media.
My writing will hopefully be like and unlike a zombie. Unlike a zombie in its expression- that is to say far more adroit. But I also hope for it to be like a zombie in its occasional, ravenous mutilation of the topic. I would like to allow my negative reviews to be direct and blunt and, frankly, insulting. I'm very annoyed by the fact that one of my teenage fixations has entered the mainstream, where it's not appreciated within its own context. The fact that information regarding zombies is disseminated so haphazardly also offends me, and, paradoxically, I will be participating in this by creating a zombie blog, but at least my intentions are good. The page will be simple and subdued with muted colors. Not black or red with animated .gifs dripping blood tiled across the background. Lavender says 'zombie' to me for some reason.
