Night of the Living Dead

By -
In 1968, George A Romero directed the movie that gave birth to cinema Zombies. Of course, they were not called that. This movie pushed the envelope when it came to horror. It was also in Black and White. I'm sure people were shocked to see this at that time period. It is the story of an incident that causes the dead to rise from their graves and kill the living. You follow a group hiding in a farmhouse. It does touch on social issues, especially at the end of the movie. Romero always did that with his movies. In the 90's Tom Savini did remake the movie. The reason had to do with rights. You see, when Romero first envisioned his movie, it went under a different title. At the last minute, they had to change the title. That did not get registered. It left their property open the public use. Savini's film is similar, but different. For one thing, it is in color. The ending is different. Both are worth watching. Romero's dead were slow walking, no running. Night of the Living Dead 1968 Criterion Night of the Living Dead 1990

Crazy Chickens

By -
 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.

Stock Manipulation

By -
 Trump is at it again.  Using his power to manipulate stocks.  Yesterday, while stocks were sinking, he announced that the war was almost over.   I doubt that.  He did this to play with the market.  Gas even went down a little.  He probably wishes gas could increase, and the market would do the same.  His family bought in early because of insider information.  I guess corruption is allowed as long as you don't cross the king.  Then, he'd have his puppet in DOJ go after them.
