All I can say is the people involved in this were incredible which included the runners or should I say victims, the people who put this together , the zombies and everyone else that was involved. The costumes were fantastic and some were down right imaginative and awesome. The event itself was really fun to watch. My family and I even though we were not involved walked the entire trail that the runners and zombies used all the while I was snapping away on my camera and videoing the event from each vantage point. The results I put into a video / slideshow mash up set to the song Zombie by Pretty Reckless. The marathon was to have 4 waves of runner starting from amateurs to making it all the way and that was with the help of his zombie body guard buddies. Hey it was all in fun and also for a good cause to . The proceeds went to Nashville Rescue Mission to help clothe, feed, and help those who have fallen upon hard times in the area.
Last week I posted that it looks like Matt Smith is leaving Dr Who well that VHS 1 interview may have been a bit more a thought of Matt Smith's then a prophecy because in a recent interview with Whats On TV he stated that it was not so.
"We work very long hours every day for nine months. The schedule is pretty brutal, but I'd never complain about it. I love playing this role, and I don't want to give it up any time soon," he continued.
"I feel very lucky. In the current climate for actors, I'd never say, 'This is too much' - quite the opposite, in fact. I'd say, 'Bring it on.'"
In the same article he admits that the Silence is the scariest monster next to the Weeping Angels. Here is a thought. What if there was an episode where the Weeping Angels clash with the Silence much like the Daleks and the Cybermen did back in the David Tennant days. Would be a eerie episode if not a real dark on that is for sure. Read more...(330 words, 1 image, estimated 1:19 mins reading time)

Star Wars News Darth Maul returns and new trailer and poster for Episode 1 3D
It was just a matter of time that George Lucas would take advantage of the 3D technology to enhance his legendary saga of Star Wars. And he did not disappoint. All six films will be released in theater in story order with enhanced 3D effects. The first of course "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D” will hit the theater on February 14, 2011. I am sure a brand new 3D DVD package will follow soon after the releases . Most likely one at a time as the movies are released with a big box set soon after all have been already in the theaters. In other worlds like they had done in the past when George enhanced the effects with CGI's of the original 3 movies . As far as the other 5 films are concern no news yet on when they will hit the theaters. Of course I will keep an eye out and post those as soon as they become available.
The new poster (above ) and the the theatrical trailer that was attached to the 3 Musketeers film that premiered October 21st gives a glimpse of what to expect. I love this idea and was talking about it last year to my wife and friends saying I wish they would of made episode 1 and 4 in 3D because of certain scenes that would be a visual feast for the eyes. Of course I am talking about the famous race in episode 1 and the attack on the Death Star in episode 4. Seeing those on the big screen in 3D should be worth the price of admission itself especially if you have the chance to see in iMax 3D.
Other Star Wars news has the second most popular Sith Lord returning to the Star Wars empire. Darth Maul. Yep the one Sith Lord who in the scheme of the Star Wars saga only appeared in episode 1 and only for a half hour or so( give or take) but manage to capture audiences attention to the point that George Lucas green lighted his return to the Star Wars series the Clone Wars.
"The decision to continue Darth Maul's story was something that came directly from George, and we all agreed that his return needed to be unique, unexpected and revenge filled. We don't know what his outcome will be, and as a fan -- that's exciting."
