Event Log: 10/8/14 - Middle of the Day

I like to save my movies for the night, especially the horror ones, but since I'm a little behind, I watched Return of the Living Dead in broad daylight. It didn't matter since it wasn't scary at all. It was a campy mixture of gore and comedy. The film was notable for introducing the idea of "braiiins."

While it's not the best zombie movie I've seen (that honor goes to the original Dawn of the Dead), it's a strong entry in a saturated subgenre and deserves its cult status. It's full of 80's punk cheese and an eclectic soundtrack. The one thing I didn't expect was a full frontal strip scene in the middle of the movie, and contrary to the laws of zombie taboo, the word "zombie" is actually uttered.

I recall seeing Return of the Living Dead 3 as a kid on the SciFi channel one late night. There was a scene when this murdered man comes back as a zombie, except his head is floating from the spine out of the neck. The image haunted me for a while. Every time I was in the dark, I was afraid he would pop out and attack me. I got my revenge on him in RE4.

I jumped in on a raid since I missed out last week. I got jack squat again. I don't know what Bungie was thinking by making level 30 completely RNG based. It's conceivable that I do a raid every week and never make it to max level. My only hope is when the expansion pack comes out and the level cap may be raised, making 30 no longer an unreachable plateau.

I spent the rest of the night doing various bounties for my three character in Destiny. I never got to watch my second movie. I guess I'm pushing back that double header.
