Linnea Quigley - Return Of The Living Dead (1985)
Return Of The Living Dead

Director Dan O'Bannon's tongue-in-cheek semi-sequel/homage to George A Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead is notable for many reasons. It boasts some of cinema's most iconic zombies, one of cinema's most iconic graveyards, and a new wave soundtrack widely regarded to be one of the best of the era.

It's also the movie that really launched scream queen Linnea Quigley, and set the tone for her career - as she hardly ever has any clothes on. Hanging out in the cemetery with her mismatched friends, oversexed punk rock bad girl Trash strips off early on for a spot of grave-top dancing, keeping on nothing but her leg warmers and leather gauntlets - then she doesn't see any reason to put it all back on afterwards, aside from a short period midway when she dons a shirt to protect herself from acid rain. Which we can forgive under the circumstances.

That's it! Trash! Quigley!

The dance scene, yes, but also the scene where the zombies drag her down! And then, when she appears out of the dark, you know, zombified.

I just watched a movie adaption of a book I rather like. A mystery, with a little romance as a subplot.

There were some plot alterations of course. (Aren’t there always. )

This particularly little toss in happens to be one of my pet peeves.

Person loses object of affection (spouse, fiancé, whatever). Usually to death, but occasionally something else. Often, and this may or not be relevant, the loss is in some degree the fault of the original person.

Person grieves. Greatly. Because this was their soulmate, light of their life, one and only. Right?

Yet….

Circumstance throws new person in their path.

LOST PERSON IS REPLACED

Like, easily replaced.
Like, quickly replaced.
Like, lost person who?
Like, walked outside ran into whoever coming out of a CVS decided to get married, replaced.

Geez. I realize people are shallow and have all the depth of a freshly mowed lawn, but c’mon!

Do not. Ruin. A. Good. Book. With the addition of basic bitch characters.

(The character in question was actually a dude, but still tracks.)

I have procured Return of the Living Dead.

Can I watch it? No. At least not yet. It seems I have a data cap. Too much streaming runs over the limit. My monthly bill cycle is near its end….

Seriously, it’s amazing how entitled one gets living in the burbs or the city. Anything you want anytime you want!

-Grocery store? Walking distance.
-Shopping? Ten minutes in the car.
-Appointments? Same day.
-Gym? Down the street. (Or possibly a short elevator ride from your apartment. )


It’s like I’m living post-apocalyptic.


I miss my treadmill….

My barn swallows have me completely confused.

At first I thought there were two pairs, but now I'm not so sure. They are speedy little suckers, and practically impossible to count, but I think there might just be three? Only one nest seems to be in use, but…maybe it's not time to start nesting yet?

Do barn swallows do group marriage? Line? Triad?

That’s when the old dvd collection comes in handy. For emergency use.
I must have bought that one awhile ago . . . and used . . . for $7! A bargain!

P.s. that is a safe link

I also said "barn"

I am. So envious. Right now.


Or I would be if I owned a VCR.


(I have come to trust that your links will be appropriately tagged. )

There are times when dealing with an old house that work must be done. Due to age (and remoteness) of the dwelling, there might be times where the work does not go as smoothly or as quickly as hoped.

Storage was not exactly a priority in a century old house. One might find themselves lacking in little things like bathroom cabinetry. One also might be living in something of a state of chaos due to the previously mentioned lack of storage. Toothbrush and travel-sized toothpaste might be propped haphazardly in a glass.

(Yeah, yeah, but to me that’s like living wild. )

Put all this together and you might arrive at a situation where electricity is but a memory and the house proprietress is required to brush her teeth in the moonlight.

Under those circumstances - and I really cannot stress this enough - organization is imperative.

Otherwise one might find that the bacitracin used earlier in the day on rose-thorn scratches might have been carelessly tossed in with the toothpaste.

*spits and gags*

You having said “barn” is totally superfluous

Not to the barn.

Isle of Skye. Me.

I want to feel the embrace of a ringed loch. Know the wind on the face of The Black Cuillin. Pick heather while I dream on the moor.

The wanderlust is upon me.

I need…. I need….

I need lots of things.


(Not really. I can think of only one. Which I won't be getting.)



Hmm. Maybe travel will open up enough that I can go to New Orleans for Halloween….

Enny, apparently we aren't the only ones concerned about the undead!

VT! Yasssssss!

Where you been girl? My last few years have been grueling. Let’s go un-gruel.

Shall we book a hotel or roam the city all night?

In the immortal words of yda.

Ha! I do believe that's a strong argument for roam the city all night!

I've been overworked and chasing deadlines for a few years. Un-gruel sounds good to me! Let's roam!

Now. One more little detail to settle.

*takes a deep breath*

We’ll flit through graveyards, crash masquerades parties, and travel in horse-drawn carriages over the bricked streets -

IN COSTUME


RIGHT?!


Say we can do it in costume. Say it.



I would bat my eyes at you but I don’t think it would help.

So, did I get here in time to get in on this? I can swing by and pick you both up in the Barbie car on the way....Please please please???

 

[ydahecnot]

OK, one more costume

 

[Endless_Night]

Now, I must think of the best costume evah.

You always have ideas.

Wait. What?

You have a Barbie car?! Srsly?
