>NYT:
This week, we mourned the loss of George A. Romero, the Night of the Living Dead director, who died Sunday (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/16/movies/george-romero-dead.html?emc=edit_fm_20170721&nl=movies-update&nlid=22852861&te=1&_r=0). Our critics A.O. Scott and Jason Zinoman talked about his legacy (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/17/movies/in-george-romeros-zombie-films-the-living-were-a-horror-show-too.html?emc=edit_fm_20170721&nl=movies-update&nlid=22852861&te=1), pointing out that there would be no Get Out without Romero's zombies and equally repellent humans.
An acting great passed away as well (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/16/movies/martin-landau-actor-academy-award-dies-89.html?emc=edit_fm_20170721&nl=movies-update&nlid=22852861&te=1): Martin Landau, the star we remember fondly from Ed Wood, though he was of course in a ton of other movies and TV shows, starting with the original "Mission: Impossible" series.
