I've heard of this film before, never watched it.<br />Yeah, you wonder if they thought it was genuinely funny (or some of them did), or if it was some kind of tax write-off or done simply as a favor for someone else, etc.<br />But there are also bad movies, failures, made with the best intentions and efforts and they still crap out.<br />Ah, don't mind me... I'm being arbitrarily ruminative or sentimental or something.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for suffering through this, Dave, for our benefit!

How paradoxical that its the older brother who counsels the younger to do something with his life ( when he appears to have given up on being overly responsible) I particularly liked the tension that existed and still exists wherever we settle. The grinding poverty of farm life is enough to send Trinity off looking elsewhere --but to not settle for the incomplete is no good either - while human to not be satisfied that ambition is still relieved in the garden at sunset after the grass has grown without our dissatisfied meddling. journeymanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679612023619721683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-41467996187824381892023-03-27T06:04:08.680-04:002023-03-27T06:04:08.680-04:00Dave, I re-watched "Dawn of the Dead" A ...Dave, I re-watched "Dawn of the Dead" A few weeks ago.

I LOVED the actress who played Helen, and while Mark was no Norman Bates, he was stil far above average.

I read tons of King and Koontz, but the movies scared me too damn bad.<br /><br />What finally eased me into horror was stuff like Leprechaun, Full Moon Pictures, and yes, TROMA! I might not have ever dined on the meat and potatoes of the genre without Toxic Avenger, Night of the Chicken Dead, Nuke 'Em High, and Terror Firmer as appetizers.<br /><br />I didn't comment on your Rabid Grannies review because I haven't seen that one yet, but I saw you rated it high so I think I'll be checking that out soon. Combat Shock sounds awesome for a whole different reason, but you sold me on that one too!<br /><br />Cheers Doc, keep the reviews comin'.Lord Phantasmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656248136087196504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-3949281127140967352023-02-17T05:36:21.169-05:002023-02-17T05:36:21.169-05:00Hello Cole!

And, of course, the horror sweetheart himself, Gregamortis over on Land of the Creeps. I hardly ever reach out, but I've gone by such monikers as Shenanigan Flanagan and Lord Phantasma the few times I have. You can just call me Cole though!<br /><br />I'm re-listening to some of the old Weekly Horror Movie Podcast episodes, hearing you talk about the blog, and I decided I'm gonna have a go at catching up on some of these movies you've covered, horror and otherwise. There's a whole wealth of insight on this awesome blog that I haven't tapped into and I'm psyched to get started.<br /><br />But anyways man, I'm so glad to find you still posting here. I might end up leaving comments on years old posts as I dig into this awesome journey you've taken, so keep an eye out for me haha. Keep the blog up forever dude! Fans like me appreciate the hell out of what you do over here.Lord Phantasmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656248136087196504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-55822013958964754732023-02-08T01:40:29.320-05:002023-02-08T01:40:29.320-05:00Couldnt agree more.
