Diary of the Dead
hooptober 12 #8don't try to speak. just shoot.george romero why would you cast yourself as racist police chief. this was fun but like if this wasn't romero it would almost be better. like i cannot help but compare this to his other movies and that's why it's impossible for this to not fall flat. dawn of the dead did not need someone doing voiceover the whole time and having characters constantly say "wow... we're in a zombie apocalypse... this is fucked up..." they just did it. i liked when they pulled straight audio from night of the living dead and i liked the amish guy. he was obviously dead meat but samuel... we will miss you dearly. he should have been the final girl. also this scares me so bad i'm shooting my thesis film next week WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS 💔💔💔💔💔 #PITTSBURGHMENTIONED

Diary of the Dead
“Are we worth saving? You tell me.”

No. No. No. Hell no. Please die. All of you.

This is so fucking stupid and just plain bad that it hurts. George, my guy, Mr. Romero sir, what happened, who are you? Everyone stop talking please, my poor ears I can’t take this anymore. Only positive is that Jason Creed is a pretty badass zombie-media name, on paper that is, sucks that it’s given to this fucking loser. Could never beat the name Kyle Crane though. Bad, bad movie. The delivery pins the nail in the coffin for how bad each line is but here’s a couple in written form.

Tony: Who the hell are you?

He says, with a larger gun pointed to his head.

The stranger continues.

Stranger: Don’t matter who I am, all that matters is what I got.

Eliot: WHAT HE’S GOT’S WAY BETTER THAN YOURS TONY! WAAAAYYYYYYY BETTER!

Dude shut up. No one asked you to speak. You’re doing way too much. Calm down.

Moving on…

Andrew: The problem doesn’t seem to be that people are waking up dead, but that dead people are waking up.

Ok Shakespeare. Nice epiphany you have there. This guy was mysterious nonchalant-maxxing the entire movie. Get out. Shut up.

Gordo: (What kind of fucking name is Gordo.) *I just shot another man… I’ve killed three men… And a woman… In the last half hour…
*
I chuckled. The way he said it.

Anyways, this stinks. I hate movies. I hate zombies. I hate George A—WOAH. Better slow down there. That’s not what I meant! Love the guy!

Goodbye.
