Today in 1968 the classic cult horror film Night of the Living Dead is released in movie theaters. This low-budget movie, directed by George A. Romero, centers around a farmhouse surrounded by the undead. Romero's early zombies lurch uncomfortably across the countryside (unlike the fast smooth moving zombies of 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead), stopping occasionally to snack on humans unlucky enough to escape, otherwise banging on boarded windows demanding snacks. This film has spawned several sequels and is responsible for setting the ground work for pretty much every zombie film to follow, and this time I don't mean Rob Zombie.

If you haven't seen it you can watch it here if you like.

If zombies aren't your thing, then maybe Mickey and the gang are? Because it was 36 years ago today that Walt Disney, the company, not the man, who died in 1966, opened Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida. If you're interested in a bit of history/information on the park that you might nto usually get do read this write up here, it's long but interesting.

But let's switch gears from history, to giggity; according to this article from EW industry sources claim that Jessica Biel (not to be confused with Jennifer Beals) is in talks to swing the trusty Lasso of Truth as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League movie (currently without cast and scheduled for a 2010 release); although this one from MTV says she turned down the offer. I guess my being excited about this news means that I am more fan boy than I like to admit, eh?

You may also be interested to see the evolution of Wonder Woman over time, for instance how about this panel from a DC Golden Age Wonder Woman comic and this panel from a more up to date comic.

And I'll sign off today with a little more giggity; here are pics of Keeley Hazell done up like a pin up model from the 40's. Man all I can say is I loves the pin up girls. Anyway if you likes those pics of Miss Hazell, perhaps you'd be interested in some more?

And that's it for today.
