at Open Culture, I thought I'd share. It covers the history in film quite well, I think. I mean, there are few of us who don't have 7 minutes, right? Perhaps while we're drinking our morning cuppa? (Please join me at the weekly T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering.)
The Open Culture link provides a helpful written overview of the history of the term, its origin and how it has developed in film, and embeds of a few of the movies.

It's so odd with the ATCs, but when I only had scrap paper and cheap ribbon I made these things with wild abandon, but the mere presence of pretty new treasures to make them with is intimidating me lol. I'm being like the people who save all their decent clothes "for nice". This has been hard to shake, but I'm forging ahead and will use these lovely new possibilities in making ATCs. Any Day Now.

Interesting post about zombies-my Husband would love any of these movies.
ReplyDeleteare you loving your french press? I really love mine. Happy T wishes Kathy
I do love this single-cup French press. It makes stronger coffee than my one-cup pour-over :)
DeleteYeah, not a fan of zombies. Are you keeping your lovely new pretties in a lovely new box? Try mixing them with some of the scrap paper and cheap ribbon. You must have some left. Then the new will look like the old and you can go back to creating with wild abandon.
ReplyDeleteMy husband isn't a fan of the zombie movies or really any of the modern horror. He likes the older stuff, and by that I mean the _much_ older stuff :)
DeleteYes, the new pretties are in a separate box, like the treasures they are. I guess putting them in with my other things would help. Thx!
Oooh, zombies! The video is interesting, thanks, but I'll skip the zombie films. There are enough zombies walking around here staring at that smart hones and dead to the rest of the world! Your coffee looks good, I need a cup just now - clue to move to the kitchen! Happy T day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteZombies for a morning cuppa :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, reckon some jobs were (and are) so boring one wishes to be but one?
I was tired of zombie movies after watching two in my teens. The concept just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe that's because I don't care for horror movies in general. Probably some early childhood trauma - lol.
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your observation about supplies. I'm like that too and trying to get over it. Good suggestion from CJ. I plan to try it too.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
As you probably guessed, I'm not a fan of zombies or horror films so will give thee a miss ...lol 😉. Your square edge cup is amazing - I love it! I'm now wondering what new pretties you have and how you will use them, what fun! Wishing you a very happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI am not into anything horror so I am going to pass on the movie. I know what you mean about being intimidated by new items/treasures. I am always afraid of wasting it in case it doesn't turn out. That would be disappointing. I hope you get some inspiration to use your new treasures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
That was a great video explaining the history of zombies. Recently I was wondering how they went from the ones shown in White Zombie to the flesh eating ones in World War Z, etc. The Serpent and the Rainbow was fantastic: I'll be watching that as Halloween gets closer. I started watching horror movies when Sep 1 arrived, but I'm saving the best ones for October. :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I was so excited about the horror movies I forgot to say: Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteI will watch the Zombie movie, but I'm not a fan of October horror. However, I do plan to visit every day as usual, since there might be something I would actually watch.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your mug. It is AWESOME!!! I'm so glad you shared it with us this week for T.
I have trouble using my new stuff, too. I try different things, but seem to return to what is tried and true. However, I'm on a quest to break out the new paper, the new products, and the ones I've not used in the past. I just hope I don't fall flat. I am sure you will make some awesome ATCs once you get over the fear of messing up. Maybe you could cut a small amount of your new paper and use it in an ATC. If it works, that will give you the confidence to make more. I still use a LOT of magazine images in my ATCs.
I think I will pass on the Zombie films, I think I am at an age where I want to be entertained, not scared out of my wits or having a good laugh because they are so unreal.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

Who knew that zombies went so back in history? I thought they were a thing from 1960's and on. And of course there's the Walking Dead, but I have to say that I didn't really enjoy that series and stopped after 3 seasons. But there's that Abraham Lincoln and zombies film. That wasn't a bd book either. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteCan tell you are in the mood for October and Halloween early this year--LOL!
ReplyDeleteNever got into the zombie thing. I have friends who binge watch seasons of The Living Dead, though. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteOh the fear of "the good stuff". I know it well. Saving that beautiful blouse until is is way out of fashion with its big pointy collar, LOL! Saving a scrap to use in art because it is a unique scrap, I'll never find another one. So hard to break that habit. Its not like I've ever been seriously deprived or anything.
ReplyDeleteBrrr. I don't like zombies and would not want to watch any of those films. Remember Michael Jackson's long awaited Thriller video? I freaked out at seeing his eyes change and seeing all those zombies.
ReplyDeleteI am also a person who keeps new stuff for 'nice'. I still put on my best clothes on a Sunday. A hard habit to shake.
I'm sorry I am late in commenting. We've been away camping on the coast and there was no wifi on the campsite.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
