Random Tidbits for a Thursday Morning:
1) Rewatched “Day of the Dead.” I had forgotten how sweet it is.
2) Rehearsal went well last night. Lloyd watched the show and really liked it.
3) Sent in info to hopefully get an audition at Highland Rep for “Into the Woods.”
4) I need some new pants.
5) How sexy is Jimbo? Pretty freakin’ sexy.
Horror
Mommy …
Girls all say I’m a little fucked.
Mommy, I’m a good boy.
Mommy, I’m a fuckin’ savior.
Mommy, I’m alive.
Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight?

Still Missing
“Corrected”
In the Hills
Poor Doug. Little did he realize that the pleasant cross-country road trip with his family would end with mayhem, death and a potentially barbecued baby. Mmmm, mmmm. Babies make for some good eatin’.
An Update
“Fangoria is reporting on some preliminary news on Anchor Bay’s upcoming DVD release of a little film called “Dawn of the Dead.” The remastered DVD will come out first in early 2004 as a movie-only release. Then, later in the year a 3-5 disc special edition will invade malls all over North America. The original and extended cuts will be included, and Anchor Bay is in the process of securing the rights to distribute Argento’s “Zombi” cut as well. Of the announced extras, George A. Romero has said that tons of new interview footage has been shot, and a commentary with producer Richard Rubinstein is already in post-production. Plans for a Romero/Savini commentary (a la “Day of the Dead”) are also being thrown around. Should be quite the DVD set…if it ever does get a release date.” [via horrordvds.com]
Damn. We sure do jump the gun here when reporting the news here at CGM13 World News. But, hey. We get all excited when classic horror films get dvd release dates. Makes us all jumpy and excited! I gotta find out if this information (from late last year) is still valid.
UPDATE: Looks like those of us who want all the goodies are gonna have to wait.
Coming Soon!
The re-release of George Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” finally hits dvd on March 9th courtesy of super cool Anchor Bay Entertainment. This movie has been out-of-print for a while on disc. No doubt interest in the upcoming crappy remake helped get this horror classic back out to the masses. Mmmm, mmmm … zombie carnage!
eBay to the Rescue
Scratch that last post ’cause I was just a bad boy. Someone needs to take my credit cards away …
Argh!
Argh. It doesn’t look like I am ever gonna find a reasonably priced copy of the Criterion Collection’s Out-of-Print edition of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers.” Whaaaaaaaaa … I want it!!!
Self Care
I have been a very bad boy. Merry Christmas to me.
Clarification
I do want to clarify something. A few people have said, “According to you, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” remake really sucked.” Well, no it didn’t. There is are things that I didn’t like or would have done different (which I focused on in my “review” of the film). There is also a lot that does work in the movie. By no means is it as good/scary as the original (and who could expected it to be), but, if you are a horror film fan, it is worth checking out.
It’s Zombie Day
It’s zombie day here at CGM13 World News! The dvd of “28 Days Later” is now in my hot little hands. Mmmmm, zombie carnage. And you can now view the teaser trailer for the very questionable remake of “Dawn of the Dead” which hits theaters next March.
Hmmm …
Hmmm. I decided to check out the IMDB page for “28 Days Later” and, boy, it is quite something. Those of you who have seen the movie know that there is a brief shot of Cillian Murphy totally nude. No big deal, right? No quite so according to folks posting on the Message Board for the film. Geez. Just goes to prove that ole double standard … Breasts and Vaginas on screen are good, Cocks on screen are bad. And we all know that a naked penis in a film must mean that the movie has some homosexual connotation/agenda. What bullshit.
