i have not seen Survival of the Dead yet. but i think he is still in the game and no matter what the work, i will always love the movie. the man is a one of a kind. when he is gone, the world will have truely lost a great man. long live the king. long live George A. Romero.

i have to agree as much as i love the godfather of zombies, his movies as of late have been awful. how ever i don't think he so much lost something as the times have changed. his personal combination of dark humor and political satire just doesn't seam to mesh with our times. what he did back in the day, especially with night of the living dead. was virtually unheard off. to have a black man in a leading roll wow. and his digs on consumerism in dawn, have to remember that was one of they first malls. now were all to familiar with consumerism. we know its bad we no longer have to be told it.

and the modern topics he tried to cover, the power struggle between the rich and poor, and our ever increasing Voyeuristic

society. just don't spark the kinda flames they once did. we will never forget his movies but like a lot of the great directors of the past, might just have outgrown his particular style.
