I AM CRAZY!!

Ok, so I have 58 minutes before my new job, and I can't sit still! I watched
the extras to Land of the Dead last night and found out how much I freakin' love George A Romera as I director! He has so many brillian ideas and can motivate others to portray his grand visions. I also found out, even if I should have known this before, that the star from Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg, and the director, Edgar Wright, were made up to be zombies in Land of the Dead. And George A. Romero told them how great their movie was. That would have been the best thing to hear from the guy who started the whole zombie invasion in 1968. Just amazing!


**Artist Cornered**


This is going to be a new section on my blog... just like that movie review section.. Boy, did that go down hill.. Anyways, this cornered artist is none other then Gregory Nicotero! He was born March. 15/ 1963 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. His first shot at the make-up Biz was on the set of Evil Dead 2. He also played the part of Ash's possessed hand and later was also part Army of Darkness crew in '93. Before Make-up he starred in Day of the Dead in '85 as Pvt. Johnson. But after all the zombie movies he went on to such films as Predator, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Kill Bill series and Land of the Dead. (IMDB info) He is the guy who makes all the fake heads that explored and all the dumbs in general. I think he has done great work for all the make-up he has done, I mean just look at Land of the Dead and you will see.


Well, usually I end my blog with the movie/ artist review, but today I went to work in between writing this all. So, my job is working at the dollar store and tomorrow I will shift to The Source, which I think I will like a bit more. All the staff is so friendly, which is much different then being at T&C. Sue, the cook, was always mad at someone for not worked... which is most of the kitchen staff, but I think I will start to like this job when I get the hang of the cash register.

Phone call today, work tomorrow

So Derek from the dollar store phoned me and asked when I could work. Like any formerly unemployed person waiting to start his first shift (at 1:30 tomorrow), I'm
sitting here, updating my blog.. yep..


In other news, Land of the Dead is out on DVD! Yes, the latest of George A. Romero zombie infested world is now out on shelves at a store need you. Act now and you can get the remake of Dawn of the Dead with Land of the Dead for only 31.00. If only I didn't have it already have Dawn, I totally would bought them both...


**Movie Review**


I watched The Untouchables last night at Jared's, and damn it was amazingly captivating! I mean Jared's dad, Ron Durston, could not take his eyes off it. He would leave for a second and come back, again and again. But seriously, The Untouchables is a movie about the big prohibition of the 30's and Al Capone runs Chicago with an iron fist. The casting for this movie was perfect, I hear Kevin Costner has been in his share of crappy movies *cough* Waterworld *cough* but he is still a damn good actor! Sean Connery has his best role as Malone. Yes, I know he was Bond for 5 years, but to be honest I haven't seen any full Bond movies, I have seen bits of Goldeneye. Jeremy is most likely going to shoot me...


Until next time

What to do...what to do...

Well, yesterday I was out my resumes, there was only one job that seemed to be interested in hiring anyone, but the wait goes on. Today I was bored as hell so I started throwing random words into google and I found this site. I looked through it and it has some pretty good reads on it.




....So, ya, enjoy!
