Isn't it time for Zombies to go away? Sorry. It's just I can't take another Zombie story and stay sane. And I'm a Virginia Madsen fan, too. Dilemma.
ReplyDeleteNope, they've just arrived and are looking to stay for a while...
DeleteZombies are becoming too popular
DeleteThey're just preparing us for the real invasion
DeleteI concur. Zombies can disappear any time and I won't miss them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes are so fun! And mummies, and all that fun spooky stuff.
DeleteI wouldn't normally post news on zombies, but it is an extremely slow day in movie news business
DeleteI love 'em. But understand they aren't for everyone.
Deletetrue that
DeleteWhen I saw that picture of Jesse Metcalfe, my first thought was, "That's the guy from Desperate Housewives." Right? Only he looks identical to how he looked a full decade ago, which seems impossible! And...has he done other things? I'm so out of touch!
ReplyDeleteyep, Gabie's gardener who also took care of her more intimate gardens :) He is currently starring in DALLAS
DeleteWhat? Only the shirt off? You couldn't find one with him in his undies?
ReplyDeleteNope, he doesn't have any of those... sadly
Deletelol
Deleteonly beach pics from him.... and a few that didn't match our colour combo today
Deletetoo many zombies, let's jump on the band wagon... that has all ready left town... hey put your shirt on!
ReplyDeleteVirginia could lend him her blanket :)
DeleteBeing knee-deep in zombies can't be a good thing... ;)
ReplyDeletenever
DeleteHow are you, Dez?
ReplyDeleteLots of good options.
twas a bad day in movie news, hope the rest of the week will be more interesting
DeleteI still haven't jumped on the Zombie bandwagon just yet, but it's coming. After the holidays, we plan on starting The Walking Dead series, so I have a feeling we'll be hooked on them after that :)
ReplyDeleteyou will be, especially since the first three seasons of TWD are really amazing and deep.. and then from the fourth it goes a bit downhill with the new showrunner who shifted the focus onto human violence instead sticking to suspense and human dilemmas in apocalypse
DeleteI saw your comment to Debra and it mimics my thought exactly - a slow day in movie land.
ReplyDeleteit is often like that in my business... usually first two days of the week... and the weekends... which makes it most of the week LOL... and some parts of the year are more boring than others....
Delete"Dead Rising: Watchtower" resembles too closely, for me, the current news on Ebola in Texas!
ReplyDelete"Posthumous" !!! Great story line. Looks to be a lot of fun and happy confusion. And oh yeh, move over Johhny Depp, Huston is sweet! Kiss, kiss Dez.
Ebola in the US?! Oh jeez. and it begins... :(
DeleteHope they stop it from spreading.... We had a legendary psychic here at the Balkans who predicted most of the events in the world for many decades and before she died she said that 2014 will first see floods (my country was devastated by those this year) and then people will walk the streets covered in blood from a disease... it scares me to think she meant ebola outbreak....

DeleteWow - now I'm crazy.
DeleteI know the feeling
DeleteI will be one of the first eaten in a zombie apocalypse. I already know this. But I think it will be fun to be one of the zombies anyway. No more worries about personal hygiene or fashion, just food, food, food 24/7. :P
ReplyDeleteI probably won't :) because I watched way too many zombie shows and I'm prepared for it... I'm only sad that we didn't take a flamethrower we had in the old house with us when we were moving....
DeleteWill the zombie phase ever end?
ReplyDeleteit's just started
