Finally, we've got someone else who puts Romero up there where he belongs.  (Ok, I don't really think he belongs that high up there in the pantheon, but I'm not going to fault you for pushing the envelope a little.  How else can you urge people to give this stuff serious attention?)

It annoys me that thrilling and damn smart genre filmmaking like his gets such short shrift.  I'd go off on some rant here about how contemporary "independent" filmmaking in the U.S. is well-nigh worthless, but I doubt anyone wants to hear it.  I sure know I don't want to write more about that sorry state of affairs.

Having registered my approval, I'll just point out now that I actually think Martin is his greatest achievement (although if, like you, I was willing to treat the Living Dead Trilogy as a single film, I'm not sure I'd still be of that opinion).  I wrote a gushing, all-over-the-place appreciation in another thread on this board, so I'll spare you all a second futile attempt to articulate just what I think about it.  Still, if you haven't seen it, you should.  (Your enthusiasm for the Living Dead Trilogy, though, suggests to me that you've already tracked it down.  If you haven't, you've been remiss.)

You know, looking back at this post now, I doubt I've said much of consequence.  So be it:  there's nothing wrong with simply expressing one's enthusiasm now and again.
