Am I insane? Did people at the time LIKE the 1997 Star Wars CGI edits? I just don’t think this is true.

“There’s a bit of Mozart/Salieri to the Romero/Ricci relationship. They were friends—but friendly rivals too.”

Now Daniel I know you’ve seen night of the living dead hundreds of times but I’m gonna need you to turn that off for a sec and very very carefully rewatch Amadeus

Kraus is as annoyed by Barbra as anyone seeing the movie would be (she sucks) but in this book of hyper analysis has gotten 30 minutes into the movie and the most he can say about the misogyny baked into her character is that, to paraphrase, society has raised her to be a limp rag and so she just does that I guess. Get some feminism in you my guy.

Really enjoyable so far but I would argue that saying the sheriff’s star grave foregrounding the first zombie is less interesting to attribute to law and order going “belly up” than it is to see law and order and zombies as dual threats.
