    Well it's only a matter of time now till his corpse rises and attacks Hollywood.
    (Not kidding we will likely be seeing Romero tribute zombies in films for the next few years, wonder how long till we see his corpse attacking someone in the walking dead)
    He'd of probably have loved it.

    RIP.

    I always loved fighting him with a big-ass Gatling gun in Black Ops Zombies. He is the reason we have Zombies today in pop culture and why we'd hopefully be prepared to deal with Zombies due to his impact on pop culture.

    RIP George A. Romero. He didn't invent the concept of zombies, but his interpretation has easily had the most influence, and the most relatable. I love his first three zombie movies. They're great horror movies that have some social commentary too. Hell, the Night of the Living Dead is an important movie too since it has a black main character in the midst of the Civil Rights movement. Not to mention, Romero is a Pittsburgh guy. I live a little under 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, and I love how he filmed the majority of his movies there. I don't know if there's a statue of him there like they have Mr. Rogers, but I hope they add one. I also appreciate that he kept making movies up until his passing today. While a lot of his recent stuff isn't good, you can tell he still had a vision.

    RIP Martin Landau. He's been in so many great projects for over 60 years now.

    Not another one......
    Man today is all over the place, Female Doctor, New Game of thrones, the last of the announcements out of D23, and the loss of an actor and a director. It's been an interesting day.

    Now we better watch out because they always say "They always go in threes".

    EDIT: And I just remembered Martin Landau was in a movie I loved: Ready To Rumble! (RIP Sal Bandini. I hope you join the WWE Performance Center up in heaven.)

    RIP Mr Landau and Mr Romero. 89 and 77 were good ages.

    It's not your fault.

    I've seen many of Martin landau's movies. They were entertaining. Rip good sir.


    The original Night of the living dead was scary to me as a kid. and as an adult...

    Still scares the sh*t out of me today! Lulz

    Thank you, George A. Romero for giving me the phobia of zombies. :)

    R.I.P. to Martin Landau & George Romero.

    I will have to rewatch Ed Wood & Dawn of The Living Dead soon when I'm able to.

    :(  I'll definitely be listening to Justice of Jalxar later this evening in memory of his role as Professor Litefoot and hopefuly get to buy more of Jago & Litefoot soon.
