Well, I guess that answers my question.
I suppose I can't blame anyone. I'll be back when I've got something interesting to say.

Don't worry, it turns out I'm a terrible photographer.
And even if I weren't I wouldn't have had the time to take any pictures. I've been at the video store working everyday for the past 12 days due to everyone being out sick. Now, I get sick sometimes, but rarely is it so bad that I can't get up to work 1 day let alone 12. So I've decided that I am the butt of a joke. That I am the fall guy for 5-6 of my co-workers skipping out on work and having a blast. If you don't want to do the job, then why don't you just go get a different one. Yeah, I've heard about "the economy right now", but skirting responsibility and laying it on somebody else just pisses me off.
It's not like I can do anything about it. And quite frankly I need the cash, but I figured I'd at least get it off my chest. And to be honest, it feels pretty good.
Maybe I'll just turn this blog into complaints. I mean, everyone's got something to complain about, right?

Well that didn't last long.
I've spent the past week attempting to watch several movies, but it turns out as soon as you make it work you no longer want to do it. Even if it is something you like to do. So with that I put an end to my movie review blog. Because quite frankly I'd like to get back to watching some movies.
Now I'm back to step one. Nothing to talk about and a blog to write it in.
Maybe I can just write about possible things to write about.
Or perhaps I can start taking photos.

Ha! I've figured it out! And really it seems so obvious now. Movie Reviews!
I can use this blog to review movies. I watch enough of them.
So to kick this new found purpose off, I'll take a look at an older classic film which I just conviently finished watching.....
Night of the Living Dead
1968
It's a simple enough premise. The worlds dead rise from their graves and come back as the flesh eating zombies we have come to love. In the beginning moments of the crisis the typical hysterical blond finds safety in an abandoned house in the sticks. Before long she is accompanied by a band of survivors, who become too busy fighting amongst themselves to properly defend themselves when the inevitable zombie horde comes to eat their brains.
If you are looking for any more plot I suggest you just rent the movie. Although you won't find much more there either. But what I want to talk about is how unbelievably unrealistic this whole concept is. Even if the impossible was to happen, and zombies were to be birthed (for lack of a better term) how NOT scary is that. A bunch of slow moving brain dead humans with their only weapon being teeth. How dumb of a society would we have to be to actually let that take over the world?
If you can get over that. Oh, and did I mention it was caused by some kind of rock from space? But if you can get over that I will say the human interaction and obvious racial undertones is at least enjoyable to watch. And, if you make it to the end I promise you will enjoy the resolution of the little girls story line. Because it is pretty awesome.
And my verdict is you should watch it. (I just now decided not to grade the movies. I didn't like that is school, why should I like it now). So consider this my recommendation. See it, enjoy it and if for no other reason check out where all this zombie stuff started.
And I'll be back again with the review of another movie. Till then.....

Still nothing! Another long day at work and a week of thinking, and I've still got nothing to write about. Except, I suppose, the fact that I've got nothing to write.
More people out sick today, perhaps there is some weight to this swine flu thing. And even less people coming into the store. It turns out that in this modern day in age of mail in DVD's and pirated movies video stores are a bit out dated. But it keeps me in booze and cigarettes as they say.
Off to watch a movie. With all the buzz about zombies these days I figured I'd bring home a movie and check out where it all started. Besides it's not like anyone else is renting it. "Night of the Living Dead", honestly it looks a bit slow to me.
