Romero Rocks by johnnyangel	Nov 1st, 2007 08:22:01 PM
I saw Night of the Living Dead 30 years ago. Scared the shit out of me.

and funding for non-zombie movies. You can only flog a dead horse so many times (eventually your arms tire).
why is it always her.. by nolan bautista	Nov 1st, 2007 08:26:44 PM
..is there only one zombie in this diary?
I wish it were stand alone zombie adventure.... by SebastianHaff	Nov 1st, 2007 08:33:56 PM
But I still stand firmly by what I told Mr. Romero to his face at Comic Con this year: I'll follow him wherever he goes. And I mean that int he most non-gay way possible. Actually, I take that back. I love this George Romero and his zombie films. I want to have his children.
Did I miss the first one already? by tonagan	Nov 1st, 2007 08:47:39 PM
I thought it was just playing festivals or whatnot. Well, I never got to see Bruiser either (and from what I've heard, that might be a good thing).
What is "Diary Of The Dead"? by The Visco Kid	Nov 1st, 2007 09:10:43 PM
Is this a documentary or an actual film? I have never heard of the 1st Diary, so forgive my ignorance.
Visco Kid by Jubba	Nov 1st, 2007 10:10:41 PM
To sum it up (even though there is debate about this definition), Diary of the Dead is like the blair witch project but with zombies. I'm still waiting to see the first one, which won't be released widely until 2008, unless I"m mistaken...why not put a release date for the 1st movie in the body of this article?
he should try tackling a new genre - like maybe zombies by dr.bulber	Nov 1st, 2007 10:24:41 PM
and time.
I've yet to see the new one, but by TattooedBillionaire	Nov 1st, 2007 11:02:04 PM
I'm always happy to see Romero working. He's the man.
George's A. Romero's? by The_Samaritan	Nov 1st, 2007 11:10:03 PM
Oops...
Zombie Boobs! by FILMFUNK	Nov 1st, 2007 11:31:46 PM
Any Romero work is good! The guy's a legend! He finally gets a bit of budget and he screws up Land of the Dead I only saw it once and we havn't had a sniff of Diary yet in the UK but I will happily support the guys sucesses and fuck-ups with equal enthusiasm because he's worked his ass off his whole life making some of the most influential films off his own back with a bunch of mates who share the same care free spirit and that's a fucking awesome and hard thing to find in the synical holywood driven machine these days! Bring on more Romero Dead! Long live the Dead!
Typo by voxmortis	Nov 1st, 2007 11:49:05 PM
The twats who didn't notice the typo in the poster need to all get fired.
What, did DIARY OF THE DEAD come out for a day? by MrMysteryGuest	Nov 1st, 2007 11:53:22 PM
When did it come out?
can we promote the sequel AFTER the first film's released? by Zardoz	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:08:26 AM
I'm looking forward to seeing the first film, but I heard the sequel sucks zombie balls...
It's not promotion, nimrod by BankyFan	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:03:09 AM
It's at a MARKET. They're working on the pre-sales. Know what you're talking about before you actually start talking.
Is this real? by WYLD STALLYNS RULES	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:11:09 AM
Come on. George's A. Romero's? Seriously.
But, the emperor has no clothes on! by GilesT	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:39:47 AM
You know its true.
when the hell is ONE coming out? by Kirbymanly	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:19:21 AM
because I'd love to see that first
Wow. Another Romero Zombie movie. Geez. by Knuckleduster	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:50:16 AM
The man's just cashing in now, milking the cow till it drops over dead (actually, it's already dead, in true zombie tradition). I love Dawn of the Dead. I like all three of the original trilogy, really. But Romero is overrated, and not even half the director he used to be.
stop this.... by billyhitchcock	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:59:31 AM
....promoting-sequels-before-t he original-is-even-released MADNESS!
Nothing wrong... by hedetoft	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:34:35 AM
With Romero sticking to Zombie movies. As long as he tries to make something fresh out of it. Now I haven't seen Diaries yet, but after Harrys ramblings about it I look forward to it a lot. I know how much the old trilogy affected me when I was a boy.
Dawn of the Dead 2 by GCH888	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:04:18 AM
If Romero is now willing to make straight-up sequels to his films by adding a "2" to it then I'd rather he did it with Dawn of the Dead.
WHEN DID THE FIRST ONE COME OUT?? by Sigmar25	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:46:35 AM
wtf?
these two cannibals are... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:38:23 AM
so these two cannibals are sitting around eating a clown. one looks at the other and says "does this taste funny to you?" Ha!
FILMFUNK by Shoegeezer	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:50:50 AM
Diary Of The Dead is screening in London tonight at the ICA, with Romero present, as part of a Frightfest all-nighter which inlcudes: Full-length Planet Terror, a new print of Savage Streets plus Frontiers and Inside.
TOO 30 DAYS OF NIGHT-Y by tomthumbstallywhacker	Nov 2nd, 2007 07:46:17 AM
well it is.
Shoegeezer! by FILMFUNK	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:47:18 AM
Cheers for the heads up but i dont live in the Smoke no more! Damn why did we move!!! I will imform my Southern Brethren though, I know Romero is a popular guy round these parts!
george, please -- _there's always vanilla 2_ next!!! by duanejones	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:40:05 AM
aka _there's also chocolate_. ray laine ditches judy ridley-streiner in order to get it on with beyonce, knocking her up in the process! judd apatow meets a 1971 pepsi commerical by way of destiny's child! though, with abortion now legal in the u.s., will anyone give a shit? let's apply the same question to _diary 2_...as tomthumb&c. rightly observes, the poster is way frickin' _30 days of diary_ for g-d's sake, further reinforcing the painful, unavoidable assumption that mr. romero is hitching himself to a bandwagon others had hitched to him and his still-peerless early "dead" films. this meta-hitching reults in making him swallow his own "tail," ouroboros-like. if only that was the film itself -- truly, at this point, mr. romero blowing himself will have greater aesthetic import, to say nothing of entertainment value, than anything else mr. romero has done "...of the dead" these past two decades. it's almost as if his talent died and, i don't know, came back to life, sort of, feasting on what was interesting and intelligent and walked fast in mr. romero's work...let's have a nice hand for "irony," everyone!
Originality... by vanchimera	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:49:36 AM
...is dead. DuaneJones hit it on the head there, 30 Days of Diary of the Dead poster is just weak as shit. If this had come out a year ago as a poster, sure, but Christ, people, come on.
30 days of diary, "originality is dead" by Irresolute	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:22:56 AM
That's a little harsh, considering that this poster is so early in development that it still has the word "untitled" on it.
it's not promotion, Banky? REALLY? by Zardoz	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:00:48 PM
hmm. trying to sell a movie before it's made isn't promotion? Try opening a dictionary, dipshit! What an asshole; sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities by observing that they're PROMOTING a sequel to a movie that hasn't been released yet...fuckwad!
Sequel and we haven't seen the first really? by JoeSixPack	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:01:56 PM
I love Romero, I'll watch whatever he puts out.
Y'know what's funny? If DIARY 2 came out b-4 1! by MrMysteryGuest	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:23:50 PM
Just confuse the hell out of people!
Check out 'Fido'... best zombie flick in ages. by workshed	Nov 3rd, 2007 06:55:30 AM
