Why I'm leaving George Romero

[BillyRay]

It's really all over isn't it? Perhaps, but to quote Dr Logan... "Where will you go?"

It's really all over isn't it? GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD! So does anyone who chats with the mods know why they didn't come in here like Gangbusters and shut it down? Are they hoping we flame war ourselves to death and they just sweep up the ashes and start over?

I think this thread has gotten completely off the rails. Not for the obvious reasons but it has turned into a GAr brownosing thread vs. the bashers. But i don't think anyone here means to bash him. They just want him to produce what he's shown he's capable of. The dude is a fucking rock star. I think the people who appear to be bashing him would be the ones who would be most estatic if he produces a film that's true to form. I know i would. I want to bash him into producing what he's capable of. Because gentle criticism didn't work after Land. Polite outrage didn't work after Diary. And now with Survival in the can there's really nothing to lose. I would also be amongst the most ecstatic if he produces a film true to form, yes. More than anything, and what I was *hoping* this thread would help define, is just what the F happened between Day and Survival that GAR has lost it? We've talked about Indie vs. Studio, the people he surrounds himself with, intentional vs. unintentional commentary, creative freedom... tons of stuff. Lots of problems have been noted but none of it really pins down exactly what part of the magic formula is broken. What really needs to change for us to get another worthy entry? Because once we figure out what's broken we can stop the bashing and start the constructive criticism. *best one-legged priest voice* ... "We must stop the bashing... or lose the filmmaker."

I mentioned I was surprised this thread wasn't locked before I even posted.

Thats a good question you know i was away from this site for close to a year and right away noticed they let you cuss on here now b4 it would block out the words....beats me but now that Capn's been wasted i won't relax so quickly!

[DjfunkmasterG]

I bet the train of thought is... they will get tired of it and just give up. Which is ironic because I said fuck it... and just ignored two people... life is much simpler now. Any chance of you sharing some of the fine Herb you got Dead Beat? Smoke'em the peace joint.

Always thought it was strange to block curses on a website dedicated to a filmmaker that makes films as graphic and vulgar as Day. You really were gone for a while if you missed the curse filter being lifted. That seems like ages ago now...

[Legion2213]

I seem to remember it was lifted for a few days then slammed back down again...and then permanently lifted later on (which is fucking boss IMO).

Any chance of you sharing some of the fine Herb you got Dead Beat? Smoke'em the peace joint. like what George Lopez says "if you don't like it....don't look @ it! lol and sure bong load on me!

We don't know why, we just remember. Remember that we want to be in here..." who remembers the fucking rep system? That was a fucking disaster from the start. What fun it was, though.

lou has gone feral and is garbed in rags and facepaint and is ontop of the fountain screaming about bacon and peeing on the zombies. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN !!!!

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD! So does anyone who chats with the mods know why they didn't come in here like Gangbusters and shut it down? Are they hoping we flame war ourselves to death and they just sweep up the ashes and start over? Last time I saw Kaos and Andy they were walking into the "SECRET" (ahem) moderator forum with a case of cognac and box of Haitian cigars saying they wouldn't come out until they cleaned the place of Cap'n's leftover Traci Lords collection inside the place. I haven't heard from them since then... j.p.
