Day #22,965-966
Walk km 18,041-18,050: Meetup walk around Stanley Park
Walk km 18,050-18,063: Metrotown to Robert Burnaby Park
bush over the trail
approx km 18,059 Robert Burnaby Park
Movie #2587: Satan's Bed (various, 1965)
Loved it! This is supposed to be just another cheapie sexploitation/violence film but for some reason I found it almost rivetting. Because Yoko Ono (!) was the star? Don't think so. Some great forgotten director? Nope, it took 3 guys to direct this. So, why then? Dunno.
Satan (and his bed) are not in this film but Yoko does work hard at making her bed. First, when she's put in a hotel room, she removes the mattress from the bed so she can sleep on the floor. When she is kidnapped and held in a rundown firetrap of an apartment, she tries to make a bed out of old newspapers.

Day #22,404
Walk km 13,584-13,603 (8801 to go): Meetup walk - Sperling to Surrey Central
Meetup walkers
approx km 13,589 Robert Burnaby Park
Movie #2264: Alien Factor (1978, Don Dohler)
Really awful. But so bad that it almost comes around the other side into "good". There are aliens in the woods so of course everyone goes wandering in the woods where the obvious occurs.The acting is so wooden that it's not really acting at all. The alien sound effects are used even when no aliens are around. My favourite alien was the one who looked like a glam rocker on platform shoes. The best thing about the plot is that there is no "haunted house" or "mad scientist" in sight. Just a small town with an alien invasion problem.
