i am getting sappy

That’s how I became the damaged party boy who wandered through the wreckage, blood streaming from his nose, asking questions that never required answers. That’s how I became the boy who never understood how anything worked. That’s how I became the boy who wouldn’t save a friend. That’s how I became the boy who couldn’t love the girl.

Ready to Merge on the Freeway

Reading the Paste magazine’s website this afternoon, I stumbled across news which caused me to choke on my lunch. Bret Easton Ellis is completing the sequel to Less Then Zero. This is great news! We have gone far too long without anything new by one of the most influential writers of the eighties and early nineties. The sequel is titled Imperial Bedrooms and will follow the lives of Clay, and all of his wealthy and drug addled “friends” twenty years later.

MTV’s movie blog says tha Ellis is very interested in turning it into a movie with Robert Downey Jr. back as Julian. Today just became a really good day.

Imperial Bedrooms will be released in May 2010. Mark it down kiddies!

Classic Carnage

I have found the first of my summer reads!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith (who has written such classics as: How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn). Needless to say I am more then excited to be finished exams, so I can begin this gore soaked treat.

From the back Cover:

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies — “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.
