Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... getting hammered with David Morrissey.

I could also pun about getting nailed and/or pounded by David Morrissey here I suppose, but the way today's going I kind of need a drink first. No offense, David! It's just been one of those days. 

Anyway the news is that the actor David Morrissey will be playing the Governor on AMC's slightly-revitalized zombie series The Walking Dead. The Governor is a big important character in the comics, one we fans have been waiting for. Even describing what he's all about would get spoilery, but if you don't care click on over here for his character's Wiki, at least as far as the comics are concerned. The show will probably be changing that up some. 

As for Morrissey we have the abysmal Basic Instinct 2 to thank for cluing me in to his undercover hotness - I don't think I would've seen it without that stupefyingly stupid movie's aid, so something good came out of it. See a whole bunch of NSFW caps after the jump.

I Know Why The Caged Zombie Screams...

... he screams for BRAIIIIIIINNNNNS!!! BRAIIIIIIINNNNNS!!! Et cetera. I can't believe I'm writing up my thoughts on The Walking Dead a second week in a row after I'd essentially written the show off  last year (here's last week's post), but it really does seem as if somebody over there at AMC was listening to somebody's complaints because they really do seem to be righting some of their most egregious wrongs slowly. I won't say they've righted the ship yet, but there's signs of life in this critter yet. That scene with Lori in the lopsided car was easily one of the best sequences they've ever managed - I went back and watched it three or four times and it freaked me out worse with each viewing. The peeling face! Gah! Not to mention it gave a much needed boost to a character that's been about as interesting to watch as a toothache. So you can do more of that, show. Also if you insist on it you can keep having Andrew Lincoln take off some clothes too. I won't complain. (pics via)
