    I am not big on gut & gore. But if you can look past the special effects you may find some smartly written scripts chock full of good character interactions.

    Might even find some zombie metaphors for life crisis like medical or financial or legal woes or jobless/homelessness that need to be faced up and overcome... IMO one of the better cable offerings of late.

    Walking Dead. S03E01

    SPOILER ALERT













    High energy opener.

    So Many Questions....

    Is Laurie's baby a dead zombie about to rip her insides out?

    What will Hershel's new handle be? Hop-A-Long? Stumpy?

    Does Michonne have to feed those two pets? How do they chew?

    How DO you kill a zombie in riot gear?

    An interesting episode of Grimm aired Friday night http://www.hulu.com/watch/417743 It is based on an actual legend from New Mexico called "La Llorona" which is about a mother who kills her children, then herself and then haunts the area, luring children to their deaths. Lon Strickler wrote externsively about the legend in his Phantoms and Monsters blog http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/201...na-legend.html

    Recently in New York City (before the Grimm episode aired), a nanny stabbed to death two of the three children she cared for and then stabbed herself in the neck. The mother came home with the third child to find the two children in the bathtub and the nanny stabbing herself. http://abcnews.go.com/US/nanny-stabb...5#.UIyj22_7KJs The nanny is alive but unresponsive. News reports said that toxicology tests came back negative and doctors have no idea why she is "catatonic".

    Sorry to post such a gruesome story but I found the similarities to the legend chilling.

    So has anyone seen CLOUD ATLAS? What did you think?

    The premise sounds intriguing.
    With Cloud Atlas, writing/directing duo The Wachowskis (The Matrix Trilogy) and their collaborator Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) attempt to convert David Mitchell’s multi-layered, multi-faceted novel into a blockbuster movie experience that feeds both the mind and the soul. To call it ambitious would be an understatement.

    The story is in fact six stories, spread across various epochs of time (the mid-19th century, the early 1930s, the mid-1970s, 2012, the future, and a more distant future). In each of these stories, we meet various characters (played by the same ensemble of actors) whose lives, experiences and legacies ripple throughout past and future via artistic connective threads like music, writing or film footage, shaping life, destiny – and even the fate of the world, in some cases. As each story progresses along its arc, a web of cosmic significance slowly but surely comes into view, reminding us that our lives are not just our own, and our connections to others – whether comprehended or not – are far more precious than we may know.

    I saw that episode. There is a rumor that the nanny didn't actually kill anyone but that the murders were a corporate "hit" on the family of an enemy. Chilling thought.

    Revolution: I had given up on this show but decided to watch it one more time. I was pleasantly surprised. Charlie and the rest of the protagonists have at least begun to shed their impossible bumbling foolishness and begun acting like people who have been living in a dystopian jungle for fifteen years. The show looks like it is building toward something which may be worth it after all. Anyone who shoots a looney sadist right through the heart without any pretty speeches is OK by me.

    This week financial news organization CNBC gave some mainstream attention to the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History, in which “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners are being accused of laundering of 43 trillion dollars worth of ill gotten gains.

    The lawsuit is said to involve officials located in the highest offices of government and the financial sector.

    Since this information was surprisingly revealed by the mainstream news organization there has been a very suspicious and deadly fallout at the CNBC headquarters.

    Within hours the original page for the article was taken down, and CNBC senior vice president Kevin Krim received news that his children were killed under very suspicious circumstances.

    It seems that the murder happened first and then the page was removed later.

    According to mainstream accounts the children’s nanny is responsible for the murders, allegedly stabbing both children.

    However, those same mainstream news sources report the highly unlikely story that the nanny slit her own throat just after committing the homicides.
