I'm Getting Used to it Now

i. It’s like if a Margaret Atwood novel was stupid Maybe civilization is collapsing around us, but who can really know? When Rome fell, the people in the actual city felt every vibration, every tremor, but out on the periphery of the empire in the garrison towns and scattered villages, it would have been initially like nothing had changed. Maybe that’s where we are, except instead of no news from the emperor, it’s too much news from everywhere. There’s a signal, if we could find it and decode it, but it’s drowned in the noise. So maybe it is happening right now, but whatever. Milf Island is on and I have Flamin’ Hot Doritos. ii. They stay on the air I think often about the TV in George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. Most of the time that our small, heroic band of survivors are holed up in the attic of that mall, the TV is still broadcasting. Pundits and talking heads are giving advice and having arguments not all that different in tone (if n

Fists

Fists of Fury, like many Hong Kong Martial Arts films was released under several titles, including The Big Boss, Tang Shan Da Xiong, and China Mountain Big Brother. This film stars Bruce Lee (Enter the Dragon, Game of Death), as a young man who has sworn to forgo violence of any kind. He takes a job at an ice factory, and moves in with relatives and friends. Soon after Lee's arrival members of his group begin dissapearing, after being called to meet with the factory management. Soon Lee is forced to do battle with the Big Boss. Like most films of this genre the plot is really secondary; it exists merely to drive Lee toward the violent acts needed to precipitate his martial artistry. Since the fighting scenes are all that really matter, lets discuss their quality: Fists of Fury contains some of the best choreographed fighting to come out of Hong Kong in the seventies. Yin-Chien Han, the action co-ordinator, is the man responsible for the fluid beauty of the Kung Fu sequences in thi

The Ultimate Zombie Movie Showdown: Best and Worst of the Last 50 Years!

🧟‍♂️ The Ultimate Zombie Movie Showdown: Best and Worst of the Last 50 Years! 🧟‍♀️ Are you ready for a spine-tingling, brain-munching ride through the zombie-infested cinema of the past half-century? Buckle up, because we’re diving headfirst into the undead abyss! From gut-wrenching gore to laugh-out-loud hilarity, these films have it all. Let’s break it down: The Best: “Dawn of the Dead” (1978) : George A. Romero’s classic set the bar high. Survivors hole up in a shopping mall, battling both zombies and their own inner demons.

Dabney Coleman Dead at 92

Dabney Coleman was a formative part of my childhood. Not for his roles in The Man with One Red Shoe, Hot to Trot, 9 to 5 or so many other roles but for his work as Jack Flack in Cloak and Dagger. This underseen fantasy espionage film starring Henry Thomas (E.T. the Extra Terrestrial) as a kid who finds a secret microchip inside a video game cartridge and is instantly embroiled in spy business came and went without many people noticing. But, for a kid like me, it was an instant classic. I pried apart one of my Atari 2600 games just to see what I might find. Coleman sort of steals the show playing dual roles: Jack Flack, the imaginary super spy from a video game who exists as a child’s imaginary friend and stand-in father figure and Hal Osborne, the distant father who Jack is standing in for. It’s an extraordinary performance from one of the greats. Dabney Coleman passed on at the age of 92. A giant walked here, and now he is gone. RIP.
