The Purpose of this Blog...



Originally, it was "To watch all the important films in World Cinema and write something intelligent in response."



It was an ambitious goal, and I was making some progress. I have slowed down considerably. This is still meant to be a blog of poetry about film. I may add some trivia or prose. I just added a poem about a cable series. It is an evolving project.

WALKING DEAD - tv series from the American Movie Channel






WALKING DEAD, or: EPIPHANY ON DEATH: A SIMPLE REQUEST

In NYC, lots of infrastructure
already looks abandonned.
It's not hard to imagine
the zombie apocalypse
envisioned on so many channels--

But the apocolypse
comes quickly, so there is actually
less time for rot and decay;
Things will still be shiny.

However I go, however I die,
let me lie down first
and look at the sky.

That's all I want
it's all I ask
a simple request.

Romero's horror movies. He sets out to find his family and encounters many other survivors along the way.
