Night of the Living Dead

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

“I already lost an hour’s sleep with the time change.”

Men. Always complaining about something. Now if they’d do something about that time change, perhaps it would go the way of the dodo. Because they’re unconscionably dense, men won’t. Consequently, you sleep the sleep of the dead, awaken, and dine on human flesh during each and every time change. That’ll teach ya.

All goes as expected until the Proud Bois are brought in to clean things up with predictable results on the last black man standing.

Gotta love the nice, heavy suicide doors on that Lincoln, also gone the way of the dodo.

Don’t be fooled by other, “modern” versions of this classic. The original is the only one that matters.

Here’s a link to the Wikiwand notes. (Wikiwand: Wikipedia Modernized is a Chrome plugin that clears up many of the vagaries of Wikipedia.)

Murder Mystery

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron are two of the producers of this piece of Adam Sandler shit. Who is god’s name convinced those two to hire this third-rate loser to star in a comedy? The dufus can act about as well as he does comedy, which isn’t saying much, is it? Next we know he’ll be running for president.

I recently re-watched The Good Girl. The good girl acted a great part in that one. What happened to her in the interim?

Now here’s a suggestion, Ms. Anniston: Cool it with the excessive bronzer. You don’t need to look like a cute Mexican girl with natural skin color. Just look like, you know, yourself.

Oh, and never forget: Be kind. Rewind.

Echo in the Canyon

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

A wooden Jakob Dylan does the interviewing. Some arthritic old dude plays out the end credits. But who cares, really? Laurel Canyon was a great backdrop, and the documentary is a fantastic tribute to a few of the musicians and singers of a bygone era that’s not forgotten yet.

Added bonus: Model Shop plays out in some of the scenes.
