We're Up and Running (probably)

Welcome. Or welcome back? If you’ve made it this far, you’ve reached the end of the line. Or is it the beginning?

Hope you’ll stick around. We watch movies here.

I have always loved watching movies, but I didn't realize how avid of a movie watcher I was until somewhat recently. I borrowed countless movies from my public library, watched movies on cable (but not HBO, my father was not paying for that), and rented movies from the grocery store.

Resident Evil (2002)

Monsters cycle in and out of fashion just like everything else. They never truly go away, but they ebb and flow in popularity. A particularly clear example of this is the Buffy to Twilight -era vampire boom and bust of the late-90s to early-10s. Now that I've brought up vampires in a post about zombies, I need to include a brief aside about terminology (CAUTION: The fact that I am an academic is about to become suuuuper obvious).
