We walk with the dead

For a while now, it has been pretty obvious to me that if you want to see amazing Special Effects go to the movies. If you want great character studies, beautiful writing, and compelling stories, turn on your TV, get a cold beer, put your feet up and enjoy.

There are a number of these shows that are so orientated to Television, you can’t imagine them on the big screen. In fact you wouldn’t go watch them on the big screen. They are designed and crafted for the smaller, more intimate size of the home television. Examples of this that I have been riveted by include: Sopranos, Nurse Jackie, Mad Men, 30 Rock, Boardwalk Empire, In Treatment, Treme,and many more.

The latest one is The Walking Dead. Yes, it’s an oldstory about Zombies taking over the world and follows a group of “Survivors” trying to keep their head. And here’s a good example of the talent moving to teh small screen where the creative people seem to have more control.

Writer and Executive Producer of The Walking Dead is Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile)
Also in the Executive Producer’s chair is Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens). And to top it all off is this wonderful poster.What’s not to like? .

Don't just let that thought simmer. Expunge it with a comment.
