George A. Romero's "Martin"

For today’s Martin you
will need to concentrate very hard, rack you brains for a while as the entry
today does not have an immediately obvious connection to the Martin
fraternity.  In fact I  would recommend getting a reliable pen and a
pad of paper to see if you can figure out the connection.  It is a horror
film, directed by George Romero, and it goes by the name of “Martin”.  “EH
LAD, just ‘Martin’” I hear you say, “Surely we’ve had that before”.  I
think not however as I trawled every book, magazine, journal and scrap of paper
at the Martin County Library (http://www.martincountylibrary.org/)
to see if it has been mentioned before.   I expect someone will point out
its previous existence and make me look stupid, but don’t worry , I’m used to
it.  I therefore propose that this film takes over from Sam Martin as the
Forgotten Martin (sorry you only had this title for 90mins).  
Apparently in the film

, our brother Martin is a young man who goes to live with his cousin who just
so happens to be a religious fanatic who thinks that that Martin is one in a
long line of vampires that have somehow merged into his family line and he
considers them to be "the shame of the family". Martin himself
believes he is a vampire, but  “doesnt have fangs, sunlight doesnt kill
him and crosses and garlic have absolutely no effect. He also doesnt have any
of the powers of a vampire wich makes it extremely difficult for him to
feed.”  Errrrrrrr mate – you ain’t a vampire, and even if you are one
you’re a bit crap, seriously give it up now.   
 The reviewer of the
film apparently things that “Romero puts his usual stamp on this film by giving
some social commentary” ..by asking the eternal questions such as “Is Martin
really a vampire?”   Anyway it also has a IMDB entry and a wiki page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077914/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_(film)''''''
As mentioned in the
wikipedia page the film was rereleased to purely to conicide with the middle of
“between Martinmass” in June 2010.  To remind all great Martins about the
Martin Fraternity, the re-release contained two special features while weren’t
in anyway connected to the film:-
# “Martin Photo Album” – this contains loads of pictures
 of the LCM in various poses.  I think the idea is that we all stick
 these on our walls and desks.
# A documentary “Making Martin” .  However I am not
 sure I would recommend watching the conception of the LCM, and certainly
 not from a work computer.
