I think it's fair to say that after a long and mildly tiring weekend that Dawn of the Dead was a total winner. It was terrifying, horrifying and hysterically funny all in one perfectly formed length of celluloid. It was interesting to see how director Zack Snyder took the original premise of Romero's DoD script and bolted on a whole raft of new and interesting bits, even to the point of taking the slow, ponderous nature of the original zombies and swapping it for hyper-fast "attack undead" - I wasn't sure it was going to work but it certainly adds a new dimension to the movie to see blood-covered loons tearing about the place at high speed ripping chunks out of the living. Marvellous !

Elsewhere this weekend myself and Elly went to Club Wicked's latest fetish venue in Vauxhall. One of the benefits or being a photographer's husband is that I get to go to a variety of new and interesting places where folks are often half-dressed (or less in some cases ...) The new place was fantastic, lots of room to move, plenty of interesting nooks and crannies and a whole new experience for all who attended. A couple of things seemed unduly restrictive however, the couples area was way too small and needs to be extended and there really should be some form of warning up as to where people can entertain themselves - I don't think I've ever been to a fetish venue before and seem people being told not to shag one another ...

Anyways, after a weekend of debauchery and the undead it's back to normal life. Given that I'm currently undergoing something of a zombie revival I decided to dig out my copy of Resident Evil Zero for the GameCube and settle down to some quality survival horror mayhem. So far it's been a success, with a few caveats, namely the bloody zombies seem to fasten onto my character like limpets to a ships hull - bah humbug say I.
