No, I'm not. Why? Are you?

Yeah I left a few shit movies out but still.. before land of the dead his last movie was Bruiser in 2000 so why even say he hasn't made a masterpiece in years when he hasn't made a movie in years.. ya dig?

I really didn't like Bruiser at all.

I liked Land of Dead though, weak point of the series but it's still a cool zombie flick. I wonder what will happen with Diamond Dead, could go either way.

well - i've said it before and will again - IMHO LotD was a Romero masterpiece - it just wasn't what you wanted. . . but in fairness, none of the dead trilogy is what audiences expected - - - i mean, in 1968, who was assuming Ben gets shot in the end? - or that an African American guy is our hero? - no one! And in 78, who's expecting a pie-fight with zombies? or the vaudeville shopping sprees? - no one! in 85, who's expecting this incredibly claustrophobic film - especially after the wider space of Dawn? or the brutality - or the gore? - no one!

So, LOTD wasn't a huge action slaughter fest- nor was it a bleak 'zombies=evil' film. .. i think romero said to this country exactly what it needed to hear - don't go looking at THEM as evil, look in the mirror!

When you look at it strictly as part of the series, Land of the Dead is indeed disappointing. But if you can separate it in your mind from the other films, you'll find a decent zombie flick. Sure, there were parts of it that annoyed me, but there's been much worse.

That's exactly the point. He needs to quit trying to be all "deep" and just make a fucking zombie movie.

I get it, humans are evil, now can I have a horror movie?

Haha, sorry I was in a bad mood when I posted that. I really do feel that way, though.
