I am not sure why anyone would ever want to watch a zombie movie anyway It’s mindless entertainment and people love scary movies. I’m one of those. I actually think there’s an art to making a horror movie without allowing it to become graphic violence (or at least without showing the graphic violence). Hitchcock did it quite well. In fact almost all early movies did it well. Perhaps that was because they simply didn’t have the graphics to show it well. It’s sort like the almost extinct art of doing comedy without crossing the line from double-entendre to being truly dirty. Red Skelton and Johnny Carson had that knack. But zombies are such easy fare. The sight of a once human that’s risen from the grave to eat anyone he or she encounters is an easy monster creation to frighten youth. Frankenstein’s monster was a zombie. The Mummy was a zombie, but you didn’t need assembly for him like you did Frankenstein’s monster. Dracula was also a zombie, but he had a few non-zombie rules and restrictions. Daylight was his kryptonite (crypttonite?), has to live in his coffin, the silver stake through the heart thing. I wonder if the Lone Ranger could have shot him through the heart with a silver bullet? Probably not. Would have violated the vampire rules somehow. What if Tonto has a silver hatchet or knife. But then he’d get top billing over his kemosabe... See? This is why I don’t write horror movies. Too many rules. I hate rules... |

The main reason for that is the mechanical shark was constantly breaking down, which ultimately was a wonderful thing. Silver was for werewolves! Wooden stake for vampires. Ribeye steak for me and I’m harmless. |

I am not sure why anyone would ever want to watch a zombie movie anyway It’s mindless entertainment and people love scary movies. I’m one of those. WE try to watch as MANY Zombie Movies as possible to PREPARE us for the Future Zombie Uprising = Boy are we prepared.The other reason, I watch Zombie Movies is to see all my ex-wives again. WARNING: DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT watch any Zombie Movie after you have drop Acid & ate some Mushrooms = PLEASE NEVER DO THIS. THE FLASHBACKS LAST FOR YEARS & WHILE ON THIS ZOMBIE TRIP = MOST LIKELY YOU WILL SHIT/PISS YOURSELF AND VOMIT ON YOURSELF, MORE THAN ONCE.
AND FORGET ABOUT SEX --ALL YOUR GAL IS DOING IS SCREAMING, CRYING, AND YELLING: "PROTECT ME, HIDE ME, SAVE ME...while pissing herself.
NO, not a pretty sight.

Take this wooden stake to the heart. I’ve got your ass now! <werewolf runs off giggling>. Here Vampire, this butter knife is from mom’s good silver collection. <vampire lets me stab him, says “I don’t even vant such stupid blood”... Don’t even talk about that Green Lantern guy. I’d always be like, “Damn. Where did I put that lantern? When’s the last time I recharged this damned thing”?... |

I can see your Confusion...allow me to help.
To begin with, it is NOT SHIT but Piss.
Now mind you, most men do NOT think about getting Pissed ON; however there are exceptions:
"Lets say your Gal says to you in bed, "How would you feel if I piss on you? It has always been one of my fantasies.."
You the MALE have a Very Unique Opportunity here to agree and Call-In one of your fantasies:
"Well I guess it would be OK honey, if it means that much to you. But I would like to have you go down on your girlfriend Meagan while I Screw Her. Hell after you both could piss on me..."
"Sounds Fair doesn't it?"
It is can of like when you meet two gals (one is really cute; the other really ugly) = And the RULE/CODE States you must do the Ugly one before you get the Right to do really cute one.
Same thing with the Pissing...

Gee. It’s all so much clearer to me now. Just every day stuff that happens all the time. If you ever happen to meet up with Moises Alou and Jorge Posada let us know how that goes for you...

Bad Day at Black Rock - Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin, Gabby Hayes.
Worth a watch.

All war movies before roughly 1970 (which is to say all fantasy war movies since real war is not like it was shown. Its escapism pure and simple).

All war movies before roughly 1970 (which is to say all fantasy war movies since real war is not like it was shown. Its escapism pure and simple). Except that Bad Day at Black Rock is more of a Western. Is 1970 a dividing line for Westerns, too? I find myself disengaging with them if there is more than one car. Even one car sort of dilutes the genre a bit for me. I think I saw that movie “BD@Black Rock” when I was a child. I recall Spencer Tracy dismounting a train with one arm. I believe he had one arm removed for the role. After looking for additional roles for one armed men and not finding any he liked he had the arm replaced just before the original release of the novel “The Fugitive”. Anyway, I will look it up one late night when I need a different flavor of entertainment. The Southwest makes a great setting for those old dying towns. They still exist to this day, as do the crumbled remains of the towns that passed from existence during the era of this movie and before... |
