Blog of the Living Dead has run reviews of movies, and books, and games. We haven't done television yet. In fact, to be honest, we didn't even realize there was television on our favourite subject to review!

Physicalism and the Walking Dead
I absolutly love this continued discussion on the reality behind the idea of zombies! Maybe it's a sign of the times. Lord knows we're living through some pretty extraordinary ones.
Justin, a reader of Blog of the Living Dead, has written a fascinating response to the following question (posted on his site:):
My name is Phil, and I am studying physicalism in college right now.
Physicalism dictates that everything is physical and in a very real sense the fact that the brain is the "Sum of its parts." What Vonnegut aptly referred to as "a dog’s lunch."
Recently I have been reading a lot of material about the impossibility of zombies from the physicalist’s standpoint.
Physicalism contradicts zombiism. A zombie, which is physically the replica of a normal human, is very different from its original self mentally.
How the heck will Justin resolve these contradictions???

Are Zombies Logically Possible?
In yet another piece discussing the feasability of the very concept of "zombies" (the first piece we dug up-- a University of Stanford paper written by Robert Kirk-- can be read here), we bring you, Are Zombies Logically Possible, and Why it Matters, where the author, William Seager, digs even deeper into the subject, and in an exciting unexpected twist, even refutes the Stanford paper!!
Oh yeah! It's here. Read on!
Storytelling Engines: George Romero’s “Dead” Films
Starting in December, John Seavey has been doing a very interesting series at his blog, Fraggmented, called Storytelling Engines, where he examines the storytelling ideas that make up various comic book heroes.
He has since branched out to include movies.
Learn what John means by "Storytelling Engines" and his take on George Romero's "Dead" films here!

Dance of the Dead - A Review
Our busy movie-reviewing buddy, Jon, over at Trioxin, has served up another well-written and insightful review of a movie my friends and I watched recently-- "Dance of the Dead."
We absolutely agreed on the verdict for this film, so I asked if I could feature his review on Blog of the Living Dead.
