    Red face You know you're obsessed with Zombies when...

    1- ... can't or won't spell the word "zombie" because it is incorrect from a Romero stand-point. You prefer something else, generally 'DEAD'.

    2- ... you sing (or whistle) the goblin main theme of 'ZOMBI' under the shower, with a dumb smile stamped all over your face.

    3- ... the walls of your room are covered with gigantic BUB movie stills, as he would be the big thing of the moment (well, he was that in 1985).

    4- ... you name your dog 'Romero', and your cat 'Simon Baker'.

    5- ... you make a small reproduction of Roger in full SWAT suit by your hands, using play-doh, to have something to pray at before going to sleep.

    6- ... you think black people are definitely cool.

    7- ... you post 100 threads per day on this board.

    8- ... your license plate screams 'PITTSBURGH' or 'FLORIDA' despite you are obviously italian.

    9- ... you sit down, and watch awful garbage as 'DAY OF THE DEAD 2', just because it pretends to be "zombie movie" stuff.

    10- ... you go to your local theatre to see the upcoming DENNIS HOPPER movie, only because he belongs to the Dead saga actor list.

    I have framed posters of NOTLD and Dawn hanging in my office. Does that qualify me as obsessed? Lord, I hope not.

    11 - ... you can't see a gas station in the same way you used to see it before 2005 anymore.

    12 - ... you would start to masturbate yourself if someone says the word "reckoning", since it reminds you to the greatest vehicle ever realized in human history, but that doesn't really happen because you're italian and that word doesn't even exist in the italian vocabulary (equivalent: "SCOTTO").

    13 - ... you dislike pseudo-critic people who bash my views in order to feel better with themselves (I know, it doesn't really fit with the DEAD movies, but sometimes it happens to this board, eh Philly? LOL Just joking)

    14 - Whenever you're in filmclass (and you're IN filmclass because you want to make zombiefilms), and the lecturer shows a clip from some film that features anything that could be interpreted as zombies, everyone looks your way to see your drooling reaction.

    15 - The word "zombie" is one of the most commonly used words in your phone text messaging service.

    Why Spaulding? You have to take it the way it was intended to be take: positively.

    The Romero saga showed that black people - and only black people - are synched with the unknown energy called 'coolness', and can tap into it wherever they need.

    I always thought Romero used black people as leads due to their acting ability and not 'coolness'. It all depends on what you mean by 'cool' as I think you are over-romanticising a little. 'Cool' as in Samuel L. Jackson? 'Cool' as in the superfly attitude and saying 'n**ger' five times in every sentence of dialogue? Blaxsploitation movies are indeed 'cool' but Duane Jones (star of NOTLD) very often turned these roles down because he expressed no desire to speak the word 'n**ger' on film. I think that sums up what a truly great actor he was. I didn't mean to bring a racial issue into the thread but it kinda went hand-in-hand with the subject matter, y'know?

    As for black people being the only cool actors in the Dead series, what about Scott Reiniger or John Leguizamo?

    ... or Simon Baker (Riley is my hero) for instance.

    No, Spaulding, don't misundertand me, please... this whole threat is a joke, so it was a joke, only a joke...

    Anyway, as matter of fact, I ALSO consider 'coolness' as being the factual capability to play a character as much spontaneously as possible.

    (which is not Dennis Hopper's case, however. He usually overplays. Dare to contradict me.)

    When your always on the lookout for the undead when you leave your home.

    *NOTE* Guys, I managed to get some pictures of Venom from the upcoming Spiderman movie! I posted them in the Spiderman 3 trailer thread, but this thread has died. Thought I'd post a note here so people can finally have a look.

    I wont challenge you on that but you got to agree that no-one can say 'f**k' quite the same way as Dennis does.
