Have you ever seen "Dead Girl?" Thoughts, please...
Nope, I'll check that out...

Zombie movie night turned into a real horror story - enormous storm arrived with torrential rain that carried on into yesterday evening, lightning struck right next to the house at one point and tripped all the breakers.
Seven people dead in the region, roads washed away. We haven't been into town yet to see what damage was done there.
Sounds like the fates decreed you shouldn't watch. Glad you and the missus didn't suffer any major damage.

Good acting requires an imagination; reality requires a person not getting lost in their imagination.

We need a noble hero, a bunch of schlubs to protect(which they fail at, or at least the hero does), and an "enthusiastic" sidekick to chew on the scenery. Let's face it, it's the Belkars, Richards, Shor Pibalds, of the story that make us laugh and laugh...

The first two seasons haven't been exploring the greater themes of the undead so much as they've been turning the camera on Lori and T-Dog fighting about who left the cheese uncovered, while every once in a while a zombie wanders by in the background, peeks in the windows and decides it probably doesn't want to get involved.
