George A Romero, director and Zombie auteur. Rest in peace. (Obviously.)
So many ho-hum zombie films it's easy to forget that Romero had layer upon layer of social commentary in his work.

Shocked by this one.Supposed to be doing 2 gigs here soon.
So the years finally reeled him in. Sad news. Only last week a friend was saying how much he was looking forward to the gig.
I believe they've been doing a few gigs without him recently (working around his illness) so maybe not all lost.Quote:

I remember his broadcasts well. I've an odd nostalgia for those old-style news readers. Tons of gravitas and proper diction. No getting fake news onto their autocues!
Retired in 1992! 25 years of retirement. Not bad at all.Quote:

Ah that's too bad. He always had good stories when he did radio interviews...I like that scene in Casino where he has to lie to the Boss. What could I say? If I told the truth we all could have gotten whacked.Quote:
