Mass media musings and pop culture nonsense filtered through the brainpan of yours truly, with a special focus on the line of dialogue most used in film!
As has become obvious - I let the blog go dark since mid-November - I've been ill and just had my office invaded by an overnight guest for almost a week. It's made it easy to stop posting - and then my good blog buddy Maynard also put his incredible Horror Movie Diary blog on hiatus until next summer at least.
It sounded good. So I'm taking a few months off. Right now I plan to come back in Spring 2016. If you're a recent follower I apologize - but there are more than 1000 posts you can work your way through. And here's an offer - if someone wants to go back through every post and comment each and every one - my hiatus will end as soon as you finish commenting Saturday Night at the Movies 11/14/15.
Barring that - I'll see you all in a few months here - and probably sooner on your blog if you're still posting.
Regardless of when there's another post - you still Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

John Russo and George Romero wrote it - one of the most iconic horror movies of all time. It opened up a whole new sub genre in the horror arena and took a formerly low level cinema creature and made it a Top Ten Movie Monster.
The movie is Night of the Living Dead.
Since then John Russo has written more - books and movies - including Midnight, The Majorettes, and the novel Return of the Living Dead - that prompted its own spinoff film franchise.

One other thing about John Russo - he may not know the exact name of the convention he's at - but he totally knows good blogging when he sees it.
Wow. One of the co- creators of Night of the Living Dead just endorsed my blog. Wow.
Thank you Mr. Russo!
