There's a scene in the ghetto building where SWAT was sent to infiltrate  Puerto Rican bandits (one of which is Pittsburgh actor John Amplas, of Marvin (1977) fame) who had holed up there. There's this grizzly maze of crime and the undead as the innocents are caught in between. The movie lands us into the thick of hysteria where one officer is being mentored by Roger before engaging the bandits but a bullet hits him right in the forehead killing him instantly. Woolley, this bulbous maniacal racist with pent up rage and a machine gun--lethal concoction, for sure--goes right into shooting, not particularly caring where he aims besides ducking his fellow SWAT members. A head explodes when Woolley kicks open the door to an apartment shooting a man inside. Was it a zombie or just an unfortunate occupant?

The priest who has seen crime, violence, brutality and the dead walk (and eat) offers his theory to Roger and Peter:

Many have died last week, on these streets. In the basement of this building you will find them. I have given them the last rites. Now you do what you will. You are stronger than us. But soon I think they be stronger than you. When the dead walk, señores, we must stop the killing...or lose the war.

Just a fun little idea. A few keepsakes of the past.

Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex

 A rainy night in NYC, Joan Severance,  a fashion designer, is offered a ride in a taxi cab by fellow occupant, Stephen Bauer, who flirts with her, even providing his coat to "keep her warm" since her dress was damp and the night cold. Eventually the cab stops at Bauer's apartment complex, and he convinces Severance to come up to his flat. Eventually Bauer is seducing Severance, unable to resist her innermost desires and ready to just take him up on Tuesday and Thursday hookups, agreeing to nothing serious.  But can these "meetups and fuck" with no relationship talks continue or will real feelings and want for something more develop? When Severance's brother dies and she happens to spend the night, Bauer reiterates his displeasure in breaking the arrangement set up by them both. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries was, to me, a rather corny exercise in why so serious? softer-than-softcore Showtime Channel "entertainment". Rarely was I ever actuall

Wrapping up the Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon for New Year's Day 2023

So I did watch "King Nine Will Not Return", "The Man in the Bottle", "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" and "A Thing About Machines" during their live run Saturday, December 30, 2023. It was a rare deviation from watching the list of Syfy episodes as they were shown up until past Midnight after January 1st, 2024. I have fooled around with the idea of holding onto the Syfy episode list shown for the New Year's marathon and finishing it up this next weekend. It would be the first time I had recorded the entire Syfy episode marathon on the DVR (for YouTube TV) and watched a majority of it in order from start to finish if I decided to finish it this next weekend. I do admit that once the marathon is over it is like that excitement and nostalgic energy goes away. A little depression sets in actually. Since I was dealt with COVID during Christmas holidays, recovered and returned to myself, the Twilight Zone marathon was a big boost to my morale. S
