Aberdeen Events Calendar

Every Thursday in October from 2 to 4 p.m., share your love of knitting, or simply come learn knitting basics. Yarn provided for new knitters, but please bring needles.

Join in a discussion of “Eating on the Wild Side” by Jo Robinson. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.

Join in a discussion of “Closer to the Ground: An Outdoor Family’s Year on the Water, in the Woods and at the Table” by Dylan Tomine. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.

The huge hit TV series “Walking Dead” resumed pushing the atrocity envelope this week, with some humans behaving far worse than the zombies. But for a completely different take on the massively popular zombie theme, why not try the 7th Street Theatre’s Halloween movie, the hilarious “Shaun of the Dead.”

Shaun, played by Simon Pegg (who also co-authored the screenplay), finally decides to turn his rather aimless life around, but encounters an unexpected good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that a zombie apocalypse has begun in London. The good news is that it might just offer Shaun the chance to prove himself, provided he can help his friends survive those who have become, as Shaun’s mother says, “a bit bitey.”

The dialogue is often hysterically funny and the film is loaded with pop culture references. It actually created a new genre sub-category, the “rom-zom-com,” or romantic zombie comedy.
