Night of the Living Dead. That is what makes the rediscovery of
The Amusement Park such an exciting prospect.
According to
IndieWire, the film was originally commissioned by the Lutheran Society to raise awareness about ageism and elder abuse, which Romero, using his love of allegory, turned into a twisted story about an elderly man going to the amusement park.
The Shudder synopsis 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. Shot by 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. 4K digital restoration commissioned by the George A. Romero Foundation and carried out by IndieCollect.”

Intercity buses and trains this week are pulling out of European stations once again. FlixMobility, a German company that has run FlixBus intercity buses since 2013 and FlixTrain rail service on select European routes since 2018, is revving its engines.
The Munich-based startup is resuming and launching intercity bus and rail service on Thursday and Friday in France, Italy, and Sweden as part of a phased reopening.
“The advantage bus and rail has on sustainability will fuel our growth as we bring up our networks again from the east coast of Turkey to the west coast of the U.S.,” said André Schwämmlein, a co-founder and co-CEO of FlixMobility along with Jochen Engert.

Back in 2009, for example, the US led the global effort to achieve the Copenhagen Accord at the COP15 climate-change summit, which was attended by more than 100 world leaders. But hopes of a meaningful US contribution were subsequently killed by bipartisan opposition in Congress, which balked at the perceived cost of reducing emissions.
Biden, who was then vice president, faces a similar problem today: how to make good on his pledges while knowing that Congress will not approve any serious climate measure. He has therefore chosen the path of least political resistance, which is why Biden’s climate plan carefully avoids notions such as a “carbon tax” or a “cap-and-trade” emissions scheme, both of which are politically toxic in the US.

A few thousand litres of paint could significantly boost the economy, create a new tourism drawcard and complete an already-expanding Lockyer Valley town.
The four silos in Forest Hill are the perfect blank canvas with painters lining up to tackle the project.
But painting four silos isn’t as easy as whipping out a bucket of Dulux and a brush, with the proposed Inland Rail project, different landholders and the need for a perfect design all contributing to the puzzle.
The local silo project has been in the pipeline for several years, with the Forest Hill Community Development Association pushing the plan.
