You watched my very favorite movie --  director George Romero's original 1968 black-and-white "Night of the Living Dead"? Nice! It is SO good to me --PLOT SPOILER!! Night of the Living Dead!the it-all-happens-in-one-night, seven very-real people (all with strengths and weaknesses), strangers to each other, in a rural farmhouse just trying to get through the night and they don't know what is going on. The television news reports are their only connection to news.Scared me SO much as 12 year old! Still scares me as a very-much-an-adult. :)I've heard similar good reports about "28 Years Later."I very much liked "28 Days Later" -- but not so much at all "28 Weeks Later."I'll have to catch it sometime.Be Well, Cosmic!:)EDIT: Unsure of the who the person is in the pic.  less

Everything I've seen her in she portrays such a real, authentic person. As far as newsworthy moments of the last weeks, Rowlands remains the most noteworthy and impactful to me; she's with me. Thank you, Gena, for your work.The original "Gloria," "The Notebook," and " A Woman Under the Influence" come to my mind at the moment.
    PLOT SPOILER! "The Notebook"For me, I forget whoever were the two main stars/characters - - for me, I was most moved by two supporting roles --  Gena Rowlands portraying the "leading lady" character as an older woman. And actor James Marsden really impacted me in his role of the guy whom the"leading lady" character dumps at the beginning. I thought through the whole movie, "Why did you dump him? Especially in how he was so understanding and respectful of your choice to dump him."  less

Oh, yeah.Director George Romero's original 1968 black-and-white "Night of the Living Dead" First saw it at a drive-in theater  -- Dad took my older brother; older sister, one of her friends; a friend of mine, and me.I was 12 years old.The previous year I had read the novelization of the movie and I sincerely asked Dad to please, please, let me see the movie if it ever came to our town.No other movie, still, has affected my entire life in wonderful-to-me ways like this movie.
    The movie remains unbelievably scary to me and superlative in countless ways. I have numerous times been to where it was filmed and have met and talked with cast members and have letters from some of them.Even as a 12-years-old boy, I knew a great movie.  :)  less

    And I remember in my early years knowing about my same-sex attraction to others but I did not even know there was a name for it.
     
    And I remember during my early education years, hearing, year-after-year, teachers and others talking endlessly about their opposite-sex marriages.
     
    And reading books, seeing movies, with plots about opposite-sex couplings all the time.
     
    And, horrors!  -- As a child, I even saw pictures of opposite-sex couplings! 
     
    And, yet, after all that, I'm still gay.
     
    So, let's try simply enjoying our "choices," I guess.  less
