On repeat viewings, Romero's Diary of the Dead improves only slightly. Still a letdown of large, unavoidable stature. This new one, as of now being referred to as ...of the Dead (seriously), abandons Diary's whole handheld-camera-footage asthetic (wisely), but the acting here seems worse than Diary's atrocious output, which is just sad.
But this is merely promo, not official, so jury's out and about, twiddling thumbs and tapping toes (it's Alliteration Week, kiddies). But if this one sucks, I'm vowing to never watch a new George A. Romero zombie flick again. Three great ones was plenty, sir. Now, step away from the undead, and drop your camera.
***UPDATE: Said promo footage has been yanked from Youtube, unfortunately. But, all good. In its place, here's my fave chunk from Romero's Day of the Dead instead. The sea of zombies coming off that platform = an iconic image in my mind.
***BONUS
Saw this over at Film Drunk earlier, and deemed it worthy of attributed swiping. Dude at Film Drunk kills it with his Photoshop skills on a daily basis, and this one had me projectile giggling.
