And in the case of Zack’s remake, this whole thing makes more sense than you think. Because the zombies in the remake were not rotten corpses and did not come out of a graveyard. They were living people who got bit and infected much like 28 Days Later.

Nope, they played “The Man Comes Around” in the opening montage. “Down With the Sickness” they played in the closing credits (which rocked hard ass too).
The main difference between you and me is that you seem to have a problem with running zombies, and I don’t. There is no way in hell people could rise back from the dead in real life, that does not mean you cannot enjoy Romero.

You cannot criticise the movie on the basis that they stay 50 minutes inside the mall either. In the original they stay far longer than that.

I know they stay inside the mall for the entire movie, but I mean the mall in the remake isin’t really used in the same way as Romero did. In the original not only was it the subject of social commentary about people and consumerism and how meaningless things have taken over our lifes - it is also about survival and trying to stay alive every single day. And some people went crazy like Roger, he loses it and dies! Not in a million years would I have thought that he was going to get bitten the first time I saw it.
There just isin’t anything remotely interesting in the remake. (Maybe the Ken Foree, Savini, and Reineger cameos are worth catching). And why was Romero kept out of it in the first place? I’ll tell you why, it’s because Zach Snyder is an ignorant, egotistical motherfucker - that fucker thinks he’s Spielberg or some fucking body! I hate that cocksucker! There’s a remake for The Crazies in the works and Romero is a part of it. The same with the Day Of The Dead remake, Romero is a part of that too.
