DMC Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 We shall never see his like again. One of my favorite film stories is him and Scorsese frequented the same store in the Bronx as kids, and competed over the store's one reel of The Tales of Hoffman.

mormont Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Very sad news. I was and am a big fan. So many good movies, and not one that's less than interesting, IMO. Very few people can say they definitively reimagined a classic monster in the way that Romero did for zombies. Almost everything you 'know' about zombies comes from his films. So his cultural impact is enormous. But his skill as a director is impressive too. His films are entertaining, but smart too. RIP George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
