I had a dream...

...about George A. Romero's next Dead movie.  It was like watching the beginning of the movie itself.  Get this surreal weirdness...

It opens with a low angle shot of a huge wall.  The camera glides up, up, up (the tiniest of gaps have some light leaking through and there is the sound of muttering voices and other ambiant noise) and over the wall.  We are now looking down throuh a latticed ceiling of some sort.  Beneath us is a thriving community of thousands.  The camera lowers down and wonders through aisles of stored merchandise, television production vacilites, housing, and countless other things.  We eventually meet a character (it's a kid, argh!) who discovers that the walls the this fortress are slowing collapsing.  The dead will be able to get in.

No one cares, the dead stopped being a threat years ago.

And one more really weird thing...Joe Izuzu (that car commercial guy) was a the television news guy.  He was really into his job.



I just love it when my mind mixes all kinds of goodies (elements from the previous movies, news about Romero's new script, the script for the original unproduced version of Day of the Dead) and comes up with some really cool things to keep me entertained while I sleep.

Chadzilla.....you have an over active, twisted, weird take on reality....i like it! Joe Izuzu is the best part. Man, imagin the news casts in N.O.T.L.D. is he'd done them in character! He.  Hehe. Hehehe. Bwahahahahaha!

I had a dream too. And my dream involved Tyra Banks in a bathtub full of milk with a couple of bottles of Chocolate syrup. And in the bedroom was a nude Claudia Schiffer finding a new use for an electric toothbrush.

Stupid Jacob

Now my wife is going to wonder why I just stand there watching the electric toothbrush buzz away while grinning like and idiot.

Gerry

And we wonder why there are no women on this board?  Even regulars like Abby and Faerie of Death have been conspicuously absent lately.

I just drank a bunch of chocolate milk, so I need to go brush my teeth now.  Mmmm, toothpaste.

Steve.

GW - do you mean Ms. Schiffer cleans out her ears or de-foliates her nose with an electric toothbrush? Because if not, I really can't think what on earth you mean.
Gerry - the lack of women hereabouts could be due to the fact that they may consider us (totally and utterly mistakenly) to be sexist swine.

Abby

Ha ha ha -- jeez, you should see the dream I posted. Actually, Chadzilla cross-posted this at my message board too, so I responded there.

Well, you're half right (I'll let you decide which half).

Steve.

They are mistaken? After orderi...consulting with the missus, we are in total agreement. I'm afraid we're sexist swine.

Steve.

Abby - are you sure you didn't have a part in Cannibal Holocaust? Either that or change your quack. (shiver 'n' shudder).

Wasen't it Tim Allen who warned, "But when Black & Decker makes a vibrator, Look out!". Hummmm...what would the 50ft woman use for a...um..."Passion aid"....A Harley? Vrooooooommmmm!

Steve.

With the Nips dominating everything else, why not the world of .... I would say a Honda (B-movie tie in) - but I would not like to pay the running cost for a 50ft lady-person. Oil crisis ahoy!

Remind me never to dreamwalk into one of Abby's (I mean Pa... ...ah forget it) nightmares.  I've no big hankering for genocide stew made for 11,000.

I'm not prone to a lot of dreams these days, but recently (while on muscle relaxants) I woke with a "case of the horrors."  No idea what it was that had me full of dread, but everything was terrifying.  The damn cat was asleep between Katie and me.  It didn't move when I touched it, so I decided it was dead.  Shortly after that I sprang from bed and the adrenaline kicked in.  The good thing is that I woke up enough to realize I was being irrational at this point and didn't get my .45 (it's within reach of the bed - we don't have kids).

According to Katie that's her main complaint about me: being psychotic (not usually that psychotic) when woken abruptly.  Once she tried kissing me awake when I was on the couch.  I swept her legs out from under her and knocked her to the floor with my forearm.

Ah, spouse abuse that you can get away with...

Andrew, I could have totally used you in my Cannibal Holocaust dream -- you would have been well-armed. I think all we had were cameras and knives we pulled out of bodies.
