Kate Beckinsale to star in 'Twilight of the Dead' -- George Romero had written a treatment for it before he passed in 2017 and regarded Twilight of the Dead as the conclusion to his epic saga (six movies and various spinoffs and remakes). The most recent movie in the franchise came out in 2009.

Tonight's viewing distraction: an overdue revisit to a 1970's classic #horror - Dawn of the Dead. For my money the peak of Romero's original zombie trilogy.

Years ago I was lucky enough to see Romero in person, with Diary of the Dead at the Edinburgh FIlm Festival. It may not have been as good as the others, but Uncle George still got a big cheer from the audience, because he was so loved.

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 130

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching. Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 2002 Resident Evil Movie Revisited – Almost a quarter-century ago, the first-ever live-action Resident Evil movie was released in cinemas directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich. Believe it or not, the 2002 movie was realized after the original film project involving zombie movie legend George Romero – who even directed the Japanese market TV commercial of Resident Evil 2/Bio Hazard 2 – got scrapped. Having played many RE games, I saw the movie in the local cinema upon release and went home feeling numb and alienated. Even though the film was never an adaptation of the games (note: no RE character from the games appeared in the movie) and it had its own concepts, there are still some people who enjoyed it or endured the moments of suspense and horror. To learn how it impacts viewers, watch the reaction videos below.

#2 Ranting For Vengeance Slams Spider-Man: Brand New Day And The Modern Culture Behind It –The first trailer of the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day drew a lot views from around the world but YouTuber Ranting For Vengeance was not fooled by it. In his recent video, he slammed the new movie and explained in detail the woke elements or so-called modern culture behind it. He also stressed that the real good stories of Spider-Man are in the comic books from long ago and the only good Spider-Man films are those directed by Sam Raimi. To learn more, watch Ranting for Vengeance’s video below.

#3 The Negative Effects Of Sports Betting Exposed – As technology evolved, making bets on sports events – right down to specific achievements or action – has gotten more convenient to do and has turned normal in society. However, there are indeed negative effects and regrets that come with it. Watch and learn from the 700 Club video below.

#4 Remember America’s Lunch Counters?  – Decades ago in the United States, lunch counters were popular as they provided customers not only a place to enjoy their meals but also become a part of a “counter community” where they interact with the cook (or assistant) on the other side, and chat with fellow customers on the side. Lunch counters have disappeared in most parts of America and there are some young people who never knew they existed. Here is a nostalgic look back at America’s lunch counters.

#5 Cancelled Creatures Of Resident Evil Games – The Resident Evil games franchise turned 30 this year. Not only did Capcom release a lot of RE video games through the decades and had several characters which resonated with gamers, a lot of monsters/creatures were also featured on top of the zombie hordes. Like movies or TV shows, the RE video games had content that never made it in versions that were commercially released and among them are many creatures or monsters that were either conceptualized or even produced. To find out what those cancelled creatures are, watch ScorePN’s number below.

#6 Customers Attracted By Kappabashi Kitchen Town – Have you heard of Kappabashi Kitchen Town? It’s a place in Tokyo, Japan, which has been attracting different types of customers as it has a nice variety of products for sale. There are locals who need something for their cooking needs or for their business operations. Unsurprisingly, foreigners are also attracted to the place. To find out more about Kappabashi Kitchen Town, watch the Nippon TV video below.

#7 Starman Retrospective – I saw the 1984 science fiction film Starman a number of times through the decades. Directed by John Carpenter and starring Jeff Bridges, Starman is about an unlikely relationship between a recently widowed woman and an alien being who cloned the human body of her later husband. Starman is a fine film and its production history is also fascinating to explore. To find out more about Starman, watch the videos below from Represent This.

“There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”*…

Over the past two decades, we’ve been reallocating our time away from offices, malls, and classrooms… and toward home and solitude. Hyunsoo Rim illustrates…

With our Covid-induced lockdowns now a moderately foggy memory for most, the last few years have turned out to be a continued normalization for many of the habits that defined the pandemic era.

Peloton bikes are now doubling as coat racks; the banana bread craze has cooled; Zoom’s share price is almost back to where it started; millions of people have gone back to clothes shopping in person; and companies like Del Monte are stuck with mountains of unsold canned fruit that’s no longer flying off the shelves.

But one seismic lifestyle change has proven far more permanent than any fitness fad or panic-buying spree — and it turns out to be part of a much longer trend that’s been building for decades: Americans are spending more time at home, and alone. And not everyone has the means to break that growing trend…

[Rim uses infographics to chart American’s use of time…]

… According to the annual American Time Use Survey (ATUS) — a self-reporting survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics — an average American’s typical day still breaks down pretty much the same as it did 20 years ago. Roughly a third still goes to sleep, a fifth to leisure and sports, and, perhaps most surprising to anyone feeling burned out, just one-sixth to work. The rest goes to household chores, meals, and everything else. The survey does, of course, represent the average, with many retirees likely skewing the work figures down.

But if you look closer, the routines underneath tell a different story about how the collective American experience has changed.

Over the past two decades, Americans have gained about 30 minutes of sleep per day — now averaging over nine hours, more than ever — and spend roughly 11 more minutes on household activities such as cooking, cleaning, and pet care.

Where did those extra hours come from? It seems like we’ve carved them out of work commutes, mall trips, and in-person classes… activities that usually have us interacting with others out in public in some way.

Some of this shift can certainly be explained by demographic factors — America is an older country than it was in 2003, as birth rates have dropped. Nevertheless, on aggregate, the figures are pretty staggering for a nation of 340+ million people — and the sharp rise in the pandemic era suggests at least a decent amount of the shift is behavioral.

Indeed, in 2003, the average American spent 7.7 hours per day at home, according to the ATUS data compiled by IPUMS. By 2024, that rose to 9.1 hours, with the pandemic only accelerating the climb…

… what’s more striking is how time once spent outside or with others has steadily moved in the opposite direction…

… As more of our daily lives have moved home and online, the same shift is reshaping how we unwind. Since 2003, time spent socializing and communicating — from hanging out with family and friends to hosting events — has fallen 24%, while travel time is down 26%…

… But not everyone is experiencing the shift in the same way. As evidence for the K-shaped economy — where some groups thrive while others struggle — becomes harder to ignore, income is proving to be a strong differentiator.

In fact, households earning under $35,000 now spend about 10 hours a day at home, almost an hour and a half longer than those earning $150,000 or more. The pattern holds for time spent alone, too, with a two-hour daily gap between the lowest- and highest-income groups…

… wealthier Americans aren’t just spending less time at home; they’re more likely to pay their way out of it, with restaurant meals instead of cooking, pilates classes instead of home workouts, or washer-dryer combos instead of hours tied up in chores.

For the very wealthiest, that logic even goes further: according to a recent survey by Long Angle, nearly two-thirds of multimillionaires now outsource housekeeping, while about half pay for gardening services and two-fifths employ nannies.

Of course, time at home and alone isn’t inherently negative — as researchers note that, for many, solitude can be valued as a way to rest, think, or create. But when more of your day is taken up by unpaid chores and low-cost, home-bound leisure, that retreat indoors starts to look less like a choice…

Americans are spending more time at home and alone — and money determines who can opt out. Eminently worth reading in full: “Home. Alone.” from @sherwood.news.

As we contemplate our calendars, we might recall that it was on this date in 1967 that kids across America could “go out” even as they stayed in: they were invited for the first time into Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, as the series premiered on NET (which later became PBS). The show had had earlier local incarnations in Canada, then in Pittsburgh, where the national show was birthed and produced. Michael Keaton, who worked for the Pittsburgh public television station WQED at the time, often helped out with Roger’s show. And future horror director George A. Romero worked on the show shooting short films.

It's election season in the USA and we all know what that means! Time to hunker down, watch zombie movies, and wait for all of this to blow over (unless you live in the U.S. in which case, of course, vote). Here's @DazedMagazine's ranking of the greatest, goriest zombie movies of all time. Which of these four do you think came out top?
