A Mississippi bill to prohibit food establishments from serving food to obese people.
Am I the only person who looks at that and thinks of the “Physical Jerks” scene from 1984?I mean, Sweet Zombie Jesus, it’s not like I don’t believe in healthy eating and exercise. My ass was in the pool today and I swam a whole mile. You can’t say I don’t work out. I believe that eating right and exercise is good for you.
It’s just that it’s not the State’s goddamned job to force it.

A friend of mine is a filmmaker and was interviewed in the Portland Tribune. Do read the interview. It’s quite the coolness.
I’ve seen clips of the film (and no, he didn’t give away the ending in the interview). He discussed the difficulty of selling a zombie movie that wasn’t “four people in a cabin in the woods”. I think it’s another instance of Hollywood producers not really grokking that there is a big market for intelligent horror. From the clips I’ve seen, the movie is cerebral, but uses that for some deliciously visceral scenes too.
You can check out the production notes at Flesh of My Flesh.
Edward’s film company is Guerrilla Productions and you can see other examples of his work there.
