Inane Morning Ramble

It's just too early in the morning, but here I am out and about doing errands. Who has errands at 5am?! Apparently this girl. It's really only a couple of things I need to do, but at this hour it feels like a gajillion. After I drop the husband off at work next stop Steak n' Shake! Hoorah!

I've rotated this damn thing a gajillion times!

I'm totally addicted to their root beer. Actually, it's just the cup I'm after. I know styrofoam is bad for the environment but it makes my soda stay colder, longer. On the plus side I do reuse the cup till it starts falling apart. I'll recycle something later, that should help even it out.
    I'm having photo malfunctions this morning. I'm tired of trying to get that damn cup to sit up straight! I think it's time for a nap...

Fluffy pink robe!

 Here I am about to fall asleep while I wait for my soda. The taillights of the car in front of me is making me look all rosy and...zombie like.. <_<

That was my excursion out today. Oh, I did stop at the bank, but it was too dark to get pictures. Not good pictures anyway. The kind that would show just how creepy this place is. I did try my best. The bank sits alone in front of a fielded, wooded area with the ATM facing it...away from the road. I got kinda spooked out... I'm not a big fan of fields, the kind that have a scattering of densely clumped trees here and there. Best place for a psychopath to hide out. If it were summer I most likely wouldn't have even stopped at the bank till later in the morning, the morning that has actual sun in it. That's when all the corn fields are blooming high to the sky...and makes me terrified. I have an insane phobia about cornfields. Hm...maybe I should do a series of movies that have corn fields in them; Children of the Corn, Jeepers Creepers, Signs, Scarecrows...

             Nap Time!

Want Some, Come Get Some

    Five friends in a cabin, in the darkest, creepiest forest imaginable, in the middle of absolutely nowhere....what could possibly go wrong...?
   Evil Dead is getting a fresh spin, and a much more violent one from the looks of it. Of course, the special effects are going to be much more...well, in every way awesome. The film industry has come a long way in the 30+ years since the original.

Forest Fornication 2013

Forest Fornication 1981

  There won't be an Ash this time around, not in the film anyway. Bruce Campbell is wearing his producer hat along with his friend and colleague from the original Evil Dead, Sam Raimi.
    This version is about a girl named Mia who is an alcoholic (all the blurbs say she has a "drinking problem"). So, I assume she's out in the middle of nowhere, in a cabin, amidst a creepy woodland backdrop as an intervention, nary a liquor store for miles. This is where the trailer lost me in plot. I was too busy being engrossed in all the disturbing violence to pay attention to what was being said beyond, "You're all going to die tonight." Still, I'm very excited about seeing this flick on April 12, 2013.


Linda: [singing] We're going to get you. We're going to get you. Not another peep. Time to go to sleep.

It's A Zombie Love Flesh...errr Fest...

    As I'm a ravenous fan of zombie movies I was excited when I heard about Warm Bodies...till I found out it's a love story. A zombie love story. I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with that idea. I suppose I should be grateful that they don't sparkle at least.
   The whole premise to this movie goes against every zombie stereotype since Romero's Night of the Living Dead to the riotous Zombieland. Zombies are supposed to be slow, mindless meat suits with the urge to devour human flesh. They're dead. No brain activity, no heartbeat, decaying and decomposing lumps of what once could have been your Aunt Hildy or Cousin Cecil. Yet, the preview shows them reverting back to human. Without the aid of any kind of miracle cure, just *gag* love. Well, I suppose if vampires and werewolves can have their own love stories why can't zombies.
   Warm Bodies comes out in February, just in time for Valentine's Day.
