Mr. Tanner? Do you think Romero's slow zombies are "dying off"?

Maybe...maybe not--it's really hard to say.
The zombie flicks that have had the greatest mainstream impact in the past 20+ years have had running zombies.
But, the shamblers have been around for 40 years.
So, who knows? Time will tell.

Slow shamblers arent going to cut it.

<shrugs> Hey...I'm one of the few people that actually comes around, anymore. Well considering that there are only 23 members here, that's not saying much.

The only movie with the running zombies that was successful was the terrible remake of Dawn of the Dead. I could be wrong but I think that Resident Evil had slow moving creatures.
As far as George saying there was no message and then changing his mind, Tobe Hooper said it best, "Sometimes, we shoot things, and years later we look back and find out what they really mean." Maybe at first there was no message as far as George was concerned, but then he went back and re-watched it and reflected back on the time and saw how much current events did influence him. In Night it was more subliminal, but with Dawn and on it was very much in your face.
Mr. Tanner, just in case you have not noticed this is (for the most part) a George Romero message board after all and I don't know if people want to read post after post of praise (that the man does deserve) but I'm sure they don't want to come to a board of a director and films that they love and read post after post of you blowing smoke either.

And, what I post is part of what they're here to check out. Are you really that full of yourself? Damn. All you do is come around and try to turn this place into the "Tanner Show". You so obviously crave attention that you feel the need to stir up shit or rile up people. It's pretty pathetic, really. I've put up with post after post after post of you being: Insulting Vulgar Provoking Arrogant Degrading Annoying Homophobic Sexist Racist Cruel Irritatingand just plain mean. You've proudly proclaimed that you've been banned from several message boards, as if it were some sort of accomplishment. Coincidence? Hardly. You just bug people so much that they get rid of your sorry ass. You want a real accomplishment? Go make your own message board about slamming George Romero, and hell... call it "If You Are A Fan Of George A. Romero Then You're A Blow-Job Artist". No one comes around here to see you bitch and moan. No one. I've received MANY private messages and emails from people who just want you gone. And the truth is, I've wanted you gone since almost your very first post here. But regrettably, I gave you another chance. And then another. I guess I somehow hoped you'd lighten up on people and just try and get along with folks. I was sorely mistaken. I even private messaged you about this issue, asking you to kindly tone down the insults and vulgarity, but you "defiantly" did just the opposite. In case you didn't notice, I created this forum. I am the administrator. I am the one who calls the shots. You've deserved well over a dozen bans by this point, but being the forgiving administrator that I am, I kept giving you chances. Not anymore though, pal. Get the hell off of this forum. I don't care where you go to slam Romero, but it sure as hell won't be here. I'm still not going to ban you... mainly because I want you to read this and know why you aren't welcome here. But also because you once posted something along the lines of if you felt you weren't wanted here, you'd leave. So that's what I want you to do. And I don't care one bit about what you have to say in response to this. I wouldn't even bother posting it. I have a hunch you will reply though, and I'm sure it'll be full of your usual shit. In which case, I'll just delete it anyway. People have stopped coming here because of you. I'm sure this place will be much better once you're gone. In closing, a mutual friend has something he'd like to say... ;D

And, what I post is part of what they're here to check out. [glow=red,2,300]Sure, buddy... We all bow to your mighty abilities... In reality, people come to be social and type about films we enjoy and other topics of interest. I personally come because I like to talk with Tony, Flyboy and Flesh Eater and some other nice people in here.[/glow]

People didn't stop coming here because of me. They came here because there is only so much that can be discussed about this series of films...and the well has pretty much run dry. You can blame that on me if you want, but trust me--this place will be even deader with me gone. Laters.
