Posted July 17, 2017 Today we mourn the loss of: George Romero, Martin Landau. Although, at least in Romero's case, someone better keep an eye on him... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2017 We all owe a death....the energy of life exiting our worn out husk. Energy, like matter can be neither created nor destroyed, only changed. I celebrate the transition of the brilliant to...wherever, whatever. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2017 Still a huge fan of Martin Landau. He was great as Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood,even won the Oscar for his performance. Of course ,his years on the "Mission:Impossible" tv show were classic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2017 George Romero ... I remember Martin, and Night of the Living Dead. Still have the VHS tapes, covered in dust. My voicemail used to be a recording of "I'm running this monkey farm, Frankenstein!..." from Day of the Dead. Tom Savivini and George Romero deeply romanticized horror films for me. My heart saddens, but I salute the hero who created the entire zombie subculture. Life has a way of swallowing up all of my role models. Requiesce in pace, mo chara. And thank you Reindeer, for the post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2017 Land of the Dead - I think more poignant today than ever! And Space:1999 - that was my Saturday staple! I applaud Dr Who for having the wherewithal to have a woman kick butt. One step forward with two steps back... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In re the OP: Romero made a point of inserting social commentary into his films, while I'm sure it was annoying to some, I always enjoyed it. While I watched Space 1999 and had at least a fair amount of the ancillary merchandise, it was never my favorite(Sci-Fi at any cost, right?). Loved him as Rollin Hand on Mission Impossible though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP, you two! xoxo, Samantha Sheppard 🤔 I think I said that to myself the first time I heard my say "...probably some damn teenagers..." Or when I passed ages where they say athletes are so old, like 38 oh the horror. 😀 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
