    And people say the commentary wasn't intended and didn't come about until later years. I hate to say it once again...but people pick on romero's new entries because they hold the originals so high that they don't want a new spin or something original. They want to see duplicates. Look how people reacted when Day was released...

    Whew. Okay...Rant over.
    Hopefully, GAR will live long enough to make several more zombie films so that folks here on HPOTD will look back on Diary as one of the less-message oriented films, like they now do for DAY.

    Oh my Christ!!! I hope I never look on Diary as one of Romero's less message oriented movies!! That would mean the rest of the movies he makes would come free with a midget poking you in the back of the head every three seconds and shouting the moral of the movie in your ear. You know. . just in case you missed it.

    So ****in' true....!!!
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    I'd settle for him living long enough to make a good film.




    FEAR IS THE OLDEST TOOL OF POWER. IF WE ARE DISTRACTED BY THE FEAR OF THOSE AROUND US THEN IT KEEPS US FROM SEEING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE ABOVE US.

    "All i care about is money and the city that I'm from, imma sip until I feel it, Imma smoke it till' it's done, I don't really give fuck and my excuse is that I'm young,and I'm only getting older, sombody shoulda told ya, I'm on one !"
