Anyone else notice on the Diary commentary Romero mentions his girlfriend Suzanne and something about her doing some of the voiceovers.

I'd heard rumors on the 'net that he and his wife Christine were separated, but I thought they were still married. Maybe they're still together and he just has a lady on the side.

I met Christine at the Zombie Jamboree/NOTLD 25th Anniversary and she was way cool.

Outside of Dawn, I have never been able to watch a film w/commentary without being bored to absolute tears. Diary was no exception...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I said it before, but I kind of find it sad that George and Christine are separated! None of my business, of course, just find it sad.

I agree, it is sad.

What is strange, however, is that he and Christine are both listed as Executive Producers for "George Romero's Deadtime Stories." At least that's what's listed on IMDB and was reported in the Pittsburgh paper.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. It's worked for every French president.

I'd just sooner turn the commentary off or I might be tempted to use one of the pistols on myself.

I occasionally pop a DVD into my desktop while at my desk at work and have listened to the commentary while doing my daily work routine. Like listening to music in the backgound or talk radio while filling out mundane paperwork, it helps pass the time.

I love audio commentaries. Its like watching the movie with the people. Its great. I love DVD period. Thank God for DVD. Half of what I know about film making came from Commentaries, Featurettes, Documentaries, etc. Thank God VHS is obsolete. lol

They did seem to be much more juvenile in their discussion of the film...as if it was a big joke or something. It made me feel bad that so many people care for a specific genre and one of the men behind it feels the way he does. Just my opinion of what I gathered from watching the flick with the commentaries turned on.

I have listened to some boring commentaries, like Roger Avary's commentary for Day of the Dead, man, what a snooze fest. However, as a filmmaker I like to do commentary on the film. However, in the only commentary I have done so far, I spent more time talking about how to do things on a low budget, then the film itself.
