Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- a one joke mediocrity that stops being amusing pretty much after the first line -- is being made into a movie. Starring Natalie Portman.

As always, the best line in the article is, "There's no word yet on a director or screenwriter." Because they don't exactly matter here, do they?

Seriously on one joke mediocrity stops being amusing after the first line. It's like, I get it, guys. You crossed zombie jokes with fanfic and found a publisher willing toprint it, and somehow it became a phenomenon. But a movie? Wtf.

Totally off topic, but I just saw this in my local paper and thought you'd be interested: http://www.mcall.com/news/local/police/all-a5_3heist.7112908dec11,0,1783334.story

Wow. That's just kind of surreal.

I didn't think anyone actually *read* "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". I thought it's only purpose was to lay out on one's coffee table to make one's friends do that "blowing air through the nose" kind of laugh that happens when you see something that's only a little bit funny (and even then, not really).

Well, I do want to chew on her brains...

I suppose it was inevitable. It's actually been the third-bestselling book of the year in my sf/fantasy bookshop, with The Zombie Survival Guide at #1. (Watchmen was #2)

For what it's worth, I read and reviewed the book. So you don't have to, unless you have read it.
