Oh yes: come to Trouble Down Pit for all your fine-art/80s synth pop cross over jokes. I’ll be mass-market any minute now!
I hope you enjoyed the painting-creation series last week. I may do it again when I get more projects underway.
This weekend I had a zombie-move session. We started with ‘Land of the Dead’ (UK link
, US link
), which was pretty decent, but nothing too special. It’s one of the few ‘of the Dead’ I’ve not seen before, so it was good to add a tick to that list. ‘Diary of the Dead’ (UK link
, US link
) was as fun as I remember it – the student-film look and style is very nicely replicated, complete with slow-mo montages and the pseudo-philosophy voiceover. Last up we had ‘Quarantine’, the very strong American remake of the excellent Spanish zombie ‘[Rec]’ – if you’ve not seen either and don’t mind subtitles then I really recommend going for the original (UK link
, US link
). The Spanish-language sequel, following on minutes after the original, is also definitely worth seeing. An American sequel is planned for later this year but is taking a very different angle on the story; it’s set on an aeroplane rather than in the same building.
Anyway, see you Friday!
