Of coarse you both agree being knowledgeable genre fans, unlike that raving incompetent.

Are we talking about colorizing Night of the living dead the original - did they do that??? I thought the remake was quite good, however i the original and the remake were on at the same time, i would choose black and white oiginal every time. It's a classic and the ending is terrible (In a sad awsome way) with what happened to the poor guy and all.

That's the remake. I meant the one where they have put colors on to the old one.

Yeah you were clear Meta it's just all these n00bz don't know whats up. The original film is "Public Domain" and has been Re-issued more than almost any other film. The colorization of the original B&W NOTLD was never popular, neither are the various different re-released versions of the film.

Tired when I posted, things blur together. Guess I blurred too many zombie series together in my insomnia haze. Sorry for that, but its not the first time I've posted poorly while half-asleep. :sotired:
On to the second, seemingly more debated comment about B&W vs color versions... Bad wording that was, never should have said 'just as good'. Mentioned the B&W version first because it is the obvious choice to watch first. But, if you can't get your hands on a copy of the original... colorized version works in a pinch (sound better?). I really shouldn't post when I'm tired, I suppose. Things never seem to translate from thought to keyboard well.
And steelba, nice infraction warning. If you wanted more attention, should just come out and say so. :mhehe:

George Romero is definitely the king of zombie flicks, no matter your opinion on the new films, he is s pioneer. No one can touch his influece, no one

Alright, he's a fallen king. Happy? If he only managed to make three good zombie films, he ain't no king to me anymore. But yes, up till 1985 he did a good job.

Until someone make a zombie film better than Night, Dawn and Day he will always be king.
His crown is safe.

Mike Bracken over at Epinions ends his review of NOTLD like this:
"In the end, Night of the Living Dead stands as both a monument to independent filmmaking and a movie that changed the genre. Romero’s depiction of flesh hungry zombies was revolutionary since it was one of the first films to take the creature out of the cliched voodoo setting and place them in suburban America in modern times. He’s single-handedly responsible for the entire Italian zombie film canon and probably one of the prime influences of the cannibal film subgenre as well. And while there have been some good films inspired by Night and Dawn (Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue and Fulci’s Zombie being among the best of the bunch), none have managed to outdo Romero. All three films in the trilogy (including the inferior Day of the Dead) feature the same nihilistic view that man is ultimately incapable of setting aside his differences to save himself. It’s a bleak, yet intriguing viewpoint—one that makes Romero’s films something more than simply horror movies. They stand as visions of what it means to be human, and what it might be like to lose your humanity at the same time—an interesting dichotomy, no matter how you look at life. Night of the Living Dead is a must see horror film that has earned its classic reputation—check it out if you’ve never seen it."

I agree 100%

I like both versions of Night. But I like the original way more since I love B&W films and enjoyed the outcome of the ending (shocked me a lot when I first saw it).

How appropriate. Recently won an auction lot of VHS tapes, and it happened to include the colored version of NOTLD. Don't think I'll watch it anyway. Looks terrible.
