Fright Night

I said that I wanted to see Kerry close the gap in the polls and I got my wish. In the latest Newsweek poll, Kerry holds a small lead over Bush. It’s only one poll, but it will hopefully contribute to a more general meme that Kerry has the momentum.
I saw Shaun of the Dead with a friend last night. It’s a slacker version of 28 Days Later, combining humor with some effective scares. If you liked Evil Dead 2, you’ll like this movie. It also has one of the most…er…vivid disembowelment scenes I’ve seen in a horror movie. I usually don’t react much to blood and gore, but this scene elicited a respectful “Dude!” from me.
