I know it's a huge part of Romero's zombie lore but I'm just not a huge fan of the whole learning and retaining memories aspect of them.

    Although I am not a fan of the intelligent zombie angle either but the fact remains that zombies do indeed retain memories from their former lives. Also, from the get go, in the original night, they have used tools. Look no further than hinzman breaking the car window with a rock and a ghoul trying to dreak into the house with an old table leg. But this was in pursuit of food. My problem comes in when they start using tools for other things.

    This is why I did not like Land...period. It was not in the GAR way to make these things smart and able to communicate with each other. And as much as I like Savini in Dawn, his character in Land was horrid. Why did they somehow decide to kill for the sake of killing instead for food? Made the magic all but disappear. It also made the running Z's more reasonable to me. It made them scary again. Its the numbers not the tools or weapons.

    Agreed, inter-zombie communication does defeat the whole point (at least for me). Now if WE could talk to THEM... no, that would suck too.

    One of the tenets of the mythology is that these beings possess little to no reasoning power. Once that changes they cease to be what captivated us all those years ago.
