Diary of the Dead

Okay, folks. YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE! It's f*cking brilliant.

Mr. Romero has come into his own with this movie - it's by far the greatest work he's done, in my opinion.

Definitely worth the wait!

TZ Beyond the Diary of the Dead

Y'know what? I'm just gonna voice my discontent this morning. We've been lookin' forward to seein' George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead since it was first announced. And ya know what?

LIMITED RELEASE!!!

It ain't showin' here. We'd have to drive to Dallas or Houston to see it. Cripes! Three to six hours! Phooey!

Well, maybe it'll make some $$$ and get a wider release at some point in the future. I'd like to see it on the big screen before watching it on my little screen here in the tomb.

And ya never know, I might just have to pack the horde into the truck and scoot on over to Houston and see this flick!

Redbox Hack

If you're a roleplaying gamer, and especially if you cut your teeth and killed your first orcs on one of the old TSR Dungeons & Dragons boxed sets, you HAVE to check out this game.

Redbox Hack is without a doubt one of the best little homebrew games around. We've had a lot of fun here in the tomb using it to replay ancient and battered D&D modules from the Dark Ages.

And by the way, if you lost or sold your copy of Palace of the Silver Princess, you can get a copy of the original item from Wizards of the Coast. Way to go, dudes!

And just so I don't lose my train of thought again...

If it hadn't been for D&D, I wouldn't have discovered Gamma World. And if it hadn't been for Gamma World I wouldn't have discovered Traveller and Twilight: 2000. And if it hadn't been for Twilight: 2000, I wouldn't have been nearly as interested in learning how to forage, scavenge, or otherwise live off the land.

So, there ya go.

Oh, and didya see Cloverfield? Cool monster. Lame story. But cool monster. And cool monsters are just...cool...

Seabed's Nectar Made Fresh For You!

So here's this new possible viral Cloverfield/1-18-08 website: Tagruato.

Tagruato is supposedly a Japanese company that does everything from deep sea drilling (including a site on the mid-Atlantic ridge opening in September 2007) to Slusho to microbiology.

Couldn't help but notice the only non-Cloverfield reference to Tagruato (which doesn't seem to be a Japanese word by the way) is on menuism.com.

Check it out.
"...It contained the finest ingredients money can buy, from fresh bay leaves imported by a company called Fotopoulos Herb Gardens in Crete, to something the Japanese call “kaitei no mitsu”, or “Seabed’s Nectar”, shipped in dry ice by a company out of Honshu called Tagruato..."

On the unfiction.com forums there's a reference to the new 1-18-08.com picture that references "Sea Bottoms Bee Nectar" as a possible translation of one phrase.

So, may or may not be legit. Probably is. Not sure about Menuism. Kinda gutsy to post a viral ad on someone's website...unless it is your own... ;)

PS - Anagram for Seabed's Nectar = Beast Reascend.

Cloverwhale

Okay, so it's not official, but this is way cool.
