Romero on Diary of the Dead
"The video gamer kids in the movie are either watching horror or recording it, forever at a distance. “I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next,” said Mr. Romero, who has a gentle hippie quality about him (gray ponytail, propensity to use the word “man”). “But I wasn’t trying to come down hard on these kids particularly. This blogosphere thing is our time. All my films are snapshots of North America at a particular moment. I have an ability within the genre to be able to do that.” (G. A. Romero talks ot Katrina Onstad, The New York Times)
