RE: GEORGE ROMERO

I WAS VERY DISSAPPOINTED WHEN I WENT TO READ FANSPEAK ON THE GEORGE ROMERO DIRECTORS PAGE....NO ONE HAD WRITTEN A THING...ETHIER NO ONE VISITS THIS SITE (WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE) OR NO ONE TRULY RESPECTS GEORGE ROMERO'S VISION...I ALSO FIND THAT HARD TO BELEIVE. BUT IN THIS FUCKED UP SOCIETY WE LIVE IN THERE ARE ALOT OF IGNORENT PEOPLE WHO CAN'T ACCEPT TRUE TALENT (NIRVANA FANS, SCREAM TEENEY BOPPERS, AND THE LIKE) PEOPLE ARE TO BUSY JUDGEING TALENT BY POPULARITY, AND NOT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO SEE TRUE VISION. I MIGHT JUST BE PISSED OFF AT THE WORLD IN GENERAL. BUT I THINK GEORGE ROMERO NEEDS TO GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at work, so I don't have time to get into detail here. I love Romero's films for so many reasons. Fans should eventually watch Return of the Living Dead, which is not a Romero film, but if watched in the spirit of fun can be a great tongue-in-cheek homage to the zombie master. Keep in mind that this movie is a product of the 80s (evident through nuclear scare/cold war paranoia overtones). After repeated viewings, many elements of Romero films are honored. Apparently Dan O'Bannon and the crew of this movie knew what was good about Romero's movies and paid tribute to these elements in a crappy 80s movie. The gore is all there with some disturbing (and thought out) details. I can't type fast enough to do this movie justice, but I challenge anyone who feels that this movie is a waste of time or a shameful rip-off of Romero's flicks. Watch it for laughs, I'm watching it tonight for the fourth time this week. For you children of the 80s (who have a right to be screwed up) it's a must.

If anyone would like to discuss this movie, Romero movies, horror movies, or if you want to argue with me...E-Mail!!
