Why I'm leaving George Romero

[DjfunkmasterG]

I am in the 3-1-2 Camp - Diary being my 1. I like it... way better than the two stinkers on each side of it.

I feel ashamed to say this. I'm 3-1-2, but Land is my 1. As much as I hate the storyline and plot issues in Land I love the main characters and the setting. @DJ - You did watch Diary right?

[LouCipherr]

<sarcasm> Awww, c'mon everyone, the solution to the "GAR Blues" is so easy... Go watch Dawn04 and enjoy. You'll forget all about 'im. </sarcasm> Sorry, I could not resist (see my sig below).

Yep, it felt more horror than LAND and SURVIVAL

[DubiousComforts]

Just cause I won't watch George's new movies doesn't mean I'm not gonna quit hanging out here. But why the heck not? Or are you going to kick me out of the clubhouse now? Oh, please?

Yep, it felt more horror than LAND and SURVIVAL Wait, "Survival" was supposed to be horror? I thought it was a black comedy. Gary, I agree with you about "Diary" being far superior than "Land" -- we've had the argument at least once a month on here in the past and I'm sure we'll continue having the argument in the future. It's good to know some things never change. j.p.

Wait, "Survival" was supposed to be horror? I thought it was a black comedy. Man, you're really concerned about putting things in boxes.

[JDFP]

Man, you're really concerned about putting things in boxes. That was actually meant as a joke. Sorry my charming wit was too much for you to process there, Dub. Of course I am concerned about putting things where they belong, things are what they are. Horror is horror -- stuff that isn't horror is something else. And 95% of the stuff that is classified as "Horror" these days (which is generally not horror for those of us who know what real horror is -- and it ain't "Scream" and "Twilight" and shit like that) is absolute shit, that's something I think we can agree on, yes? j.p.

[DubiousComforts]

That was actually meant as a joke. Sorry my charming wit was too much for you to process there, Dub. It probably won't get any better if we try to classify "humor," as well.

[JDFP]

It probably won't get any better if we try to classify "humor," as well. Touche, good sir. Touche. j.p.

Personally, I'm in the 3-1-2 Camp, with Land being my one as well. While I appreciate tastes differ, I just found NOTHING in Diary or Survival that even interested me, let alone anything I found enjoyable. Land, on the other hand, while there were elements I didn't go for, at least had a few elements I enjoyed. Not trying to preach to, or persuade anyone else. Just stating where my tastes run.

Leaving Romero? I bet he still tries the old late night booty call thing on you... I'm also on an Adam Ant board where there are some people that talk the same kind of smack. If I don't like something, I don't break it out, but it's not going to make me hate the awesome stuff. I'm a big Sandler fan, but I won't buy Spanglish or Funny People. Why? Didn't like them, but that isn't gonna stop me from getting superbaked and throwing Billy Madison into the player. I also liked someone's Star Wars analogy. The prequels were dreadfully heartbreaking, but I could watch Empire every day for the rest of my miserable existence... I liked Land and Diary. I bet I will like Survival, too. If George is single again, he's all meinz!!! I'm ready for my audition...

[Trin]

Yep, it felt more horror than LAND and SURVIVAL Now that is an interesting statement. "Felt more like horror." I'm not sure I've ever scrutinized them along that thought process. I've always compared them as GAR zombie movies. Diary did seem more like a slasher flick than the others. Stereotypical teenagers walking backwards into dark rooms and such. And more like a crappy monster movie. Weird zombies just appearing from nowhere, people running all around like chickens with their heads cut off. I guess it is a bit more horror-like than the others.

[Rancid Carcass]

I'm ready for my audition... "We got this man...we got this by the ass!"

[bassman]

It all depends on your opinion of what horror is. I too think Diary has more of a teen slasher feel, but at the same time find the thought of an army of the undead with weapons pretty damn scary. And I know that's not the popular opinion so...
