He was a violent-alcoholic, mistreated people on-set in numerous films, tried to cheat Peter Fonda out-of writing-credit on Easy Rider, threatened people with loaded-guns, you-name-it. When he told David Lynch, "David, I have to play Frank Booth, because I AM Frank Booth," he wasn't kidding. Also: unless one is basically inhuman, you have to hate him for voting for George W. Bush TWICE. That's why his kids hate him (amongst other things, I'm sure). He's a good, standard Red.

Just seen this,enjoyed it a great deal. Of course it's not the landmark film Night is,and it stood little chance of toppling Dawn as that is one of my favourite films,but I think I prefer it to Day,which although still pretty good had a bit too much of people shouting and swearing at each other for my liking.
Agree that this one has a slightly different feel,it's much faster and,well,modern in style,it doesn't seem like the work of a guy Romero's age. The gore is just as strong as the others,I can't believe it got a 15 rating here n the UK,and find it hard to believe there could be much more in the unrated version. Scenes like a tongue being pulled out through a mouth and a nipple ring being ripped off almost got a cheer from the old gore hound that I am. Good acting and just enough social comment without going over the top.
Read an amusing thing about Romero the other day. Quentin Tarantino came up to him and started telling him how great he was and generally being the annoying fanboy he often is,and Romero said to him "Quentin,grow up"!

"So like yesterday, I was eating a hot dog a-a-and I-I went to put on the ketchup a-a-and i-it went all over the hot dog a-a-and i-it just, ya know, o-oozed down a-a-and i-it j-j-just went everywhere, ya know? S-s-so I went to thinking, ya know? T-thinking about i-if I cut a guy's dick off in a movie, ya know? And he'd be peein' blood from basically a vagina, s-so I went over to the Weinstein Bros. and said 'Ya know, what if I make a movie where a guy get's his dick cut off and he pees blood...' and they were laughin' and laughin' and finally, they said 'Are you serious?' so I flipped 'em off and said 'F*ck you! I'll make this movie with Rodriguez for Columbia!' and then they were all over me like 'Hey! That's a great idea! Sure, we'll make it!' and I was like 'Yeah, sure, whatever.'................................Oh, yeah, by the way, the other day, I was eating a donut..."
Quentin Tarantino? Annoying? Hyper? Nah, he's the greatest person to listen to. Oh, by the way, the other day, I was eating some jelly munchkins...

He's not annoying, just hyper. You just have to tape his interviews & play them back in slow motion. ;D
