How’d They Get ‘Skinamarink’ to Look Like That? Romero Foundation and carried out by IndieCollect.” 4K digital restoration commissioned by the George A. Romero between ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead,’ ‘The Amusement Park’ is a bleak, haunting allegory where the attractions and distractions of an amusement park stand in for the many abuses that the elderly face in society. The official synopsis for “The Amusement Park” from Shudder reads: “An elderly gentleman goes for what he assumes will be an ordinary day at the amusement park, only to find himself in the middle of a hellish nightmare instead. News broke at the start of the month that Romero’s widow, Suzanne, is planning to bring the filmmaker’s final zombie movie script “Twilight of the Dead” to life with a new director, and now comes Shudder’s release of the official trailer for Romero’s long lost 1973 feature, “ The Amusement Park.” The film has been restored and is finally coming to streaming this summer, three years after author and Guillermo del Toro collaborator Daniel Kraus first announced the film had been discovered, and that he had seen a cut.

Unfortunately, Burney continues in this insipid tone throughout her reading, which is understandable as Naslund ( Ahab's Wife Appropriately, Burney begins her performance in the adorable upper registers of the 14-year-old Marie Antoinette, shipped to France by her mother, the Empress of Austria, to marry the 15-year-old Dauphin and peacefully conjoin France and Austria.

Perhaps most intriguing is Card’s comparison of America to Rome – not the Empire, but the Republic.Ĭard argues – through one of his more interesting characters – that America is not an Empire because were we to disappear as a nation today, our culture would not endure in the world the way Rome’s did. The divisive, divided rhetoric could be taken from any number of email forwards so lovingly sent around – not to mention FOX News or CNN. Card’s America is as sharply divided along party lines as is ours, so this war is not fought across the Mason-Dixon line instead, it’s red-state/blue-state, urban/rural.
