So now what?
At this point feeling the urge to have a straight up movie marathon to view in ‘action’ all the places you saw today is to be expected. You have the option to go raid your dvd collection, hit up your local blockbuster or check out this short video for a creative spin on M. Night Shyamalan’s movie career.

cornfield.
ok, ok. It’s not the official cornfield from Signs (2002) but in order to find one get in your car and drive. Eventually you will find one! And here’s a question.

Stalks are dry, dead and brown. Just sayin’!
