zombies
ok, so updating this page regularly is becoming more of a problem. you will have noticed that there is not really a theme to my entries and they sort of just swerve around in my sub-conscious and come out talking about mice or something. this is ok for a while but on days like this when nothing is really happening it is not a good idea to keep writing crap just to make sure people do not stop coming to read things. i really do not want to become one if those diaryland people who just writes about boring things that they have been doing like blah, blah, i got up, blah, blah, i ate some breakfast, blah, blah, my girlfriend dumped me because i spend all my time writing a list of things that i have done instead of getting off my arse and doing something creative with my life like drinking or something (this is not autobiographical by the way - it is hypothetical).
right then, i have decided to stop updating this page every other day and just update it when i have something interesting to write about. it will probably still be about twice a week or something and i am putting links to new diaryland updates on my website too because i update that every day. ok, anyway here is the news:
zombie fever is gripping the nation right now. it is not a disease that turns people into zombies (although that would be pretty cool like on haiti or something) but we are being bombarded with zombie films here in england. not only are there two of them on at the cinemas here this month but also the three george a romero zombie movies are all on terrestrial tv this week. it is good to see that the tv executives are putting good religious films on during the build up to easter (that was supposed to sound sarcastic but i do not know how to type in a sarcastic voice and i do not really care about easter anyway). i think zombies are one of the best monsters purely because they are so crap. if you had one zombie chasing after you it would never be able to catch you because they are so slow and stupid.
ok, so my digital camera has a feature for making crap quality video footage (perfect for a horror movie) and so i am thinking of using it to make my own low-budget indie zombie film where the zombies attack some poorly built robots. if, like todays humanoid robots, the robots could also not walk properly and were pretty stupid then they would be a perfect match for the zombies. or maybe the zombies and the robots could both team up to attack some humans and then the humans could fight back with sticks for the zombies and logical paradoxes or nuclear explosions for the robots. note: both of these film ideas are © paul martyn 2004, so if you try to make a film with zombies and robots in it you will have to cut me in on the deal.
see you next time.
paul.
