Yes, as previously discussed here on the blog when we covered the Malta shoot for ‘World War Z’, Glasgow is in the sights of these ridiculously ambitious Living Supremacist filmmakers and the apparently very involved shooting process is coming up now: The streets of Glasgow can get a little quieter with the onset of the [...]

We talked with some concern here on the ZRC blog about how Square Enix had picked up distribution duties on the odious Living Supremacist game ‘Dead Island’ to help ensure it receives wider release here in the US. Well, their commitment to hating the Differently Animated doesn’t just extend to shuffling plastic around, as it [...]

The supposedly left-leaning UK rag ‘The Guardian’ has been in the ZRC’s sights before, caught touting flagrantly Anti-Zombie viewpoints in the wake of the Leicester affair. Given that, I suppose it was inevitable they would show up and add their two cents to this tragic Bristol City Council story: Local authorities routinely have detailed emergency [...]

We’ve talked previously about how the Anti-Zombie bigot forces as well as the press in the UK got all upset that Leicester didn’t have a ready plan in place to oppress the Differently Animated in the event of the farcical and childish ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ fantasy. The ZRC blog also covered a peaceful protest/response to that [...]

I had sincerely hoped that this behemoth of Anti-Zombie prejudice masquerading as a film would crash and burn, but it seems that ‘World War Z’ is a reality we will have to confront for some time to come: This summer World War Z is going to be shot within England and they need a TON [...]

I’ve seen ‘The Escapist’ described as thoughtful and intelligent commentary on the gaming scene, but from this latest post about the peaceful Zombie supporters’ rally responding to recent events in Leicester I have no idea how they earned such a sterling reputation: If there’s one thing zombies love more than delicious human brains, it’s the [...]

We talked recently on the blog about the odd and stunningly hateful request under a Freedom of Information law for information how how Leicester would respond to a ‘zombie attack’. Given that, this was pleasant follow-up news: The story became a hit on social networking sites, and prompted Mr Dixon to organise Saturday’s event on [...]

‘Silent Hill’ games don’t get quite as much press here on the ZRC blog, as their ‘antagonists’ often fall more in the ‘insane human’ or ‘demon’ categories rather than the Differently Animated, and also because, quite frankly, it’s hard to tell what’s going on half the blasted time. Still, they’ve had a noteworthy impact and [...]

We’ve talked about this before on the ZRC blog (a phrase I’m sure you’re tired of hearing by now), but the persistence of the Nazis + Zombies horror genre keeps it coming back year after year. It also helps to illustrate a double standard in our society. If Nazis summon the demon-spawn of Satan to [...]

You probably read about the Leicester Freedom of Information request that led the UK city to admit that, no, it didn’t have any particular plans to persecute the Differently Animated in the event of a ‘zombie invasion.’ Supposedly left-leaning newsrag ‘The Guardian’ thinks that was a great excuse to publish an opinion column advising how [...]
