Romero_shipGeorge Romero’s Diary of the Dead opens tonight. In an interview with him at Sundance, our eyes were opened to what an eloquent artist he is. We watch Night of the Living Dead to examine the origins of the zombie genre and compare it to Diary. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Karina Longworth gets personal with the loneliest movie going experience ever: Watching Build a Ship, Sail to Sadness.

    Two things:
    1) Watching “Build a Ship Sail to Sadness” wasn’t a lonely experience because I don’t have a boyfriend, it was a lonely experience because there was *no one else in the theater*, and because no matter how much I champion it, its distribution prospects are nil. I tried to make that clear in the interview, but it still seems like it’s being framed as “poor sad lonely Karina only likes this movie because it speaks to her loneliness,” and I don’t think that’s true. I think I would love it no matter what.
    2) I didn’t go to Milos Forman thing. I stayed home and worked.
