OK, first off, we here at Well Told Tales try to steer clear of politics — like Snake Plissken in “Escape From New York,” our official stance is “We don’t give a f*** about your president.”

But this “Star Wars” remix starring Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was too funny not to share.

We promise — we’ll leave politics to the Huffington and Wonkette crowd from now on.

Battling insomnia one night, I stumbled across this short film by Canadian director Trevor Canwood and was completely mesmerized.

The surreal stalking creatures are quietly menacing. And the ’70s look of the film is pitch-perfect. Needless to say, I didn’t get back to sleep easily after watching this.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way immediately: George A. Romero, father of the modern-day zombie movie, is a genre — and general — filmmaking giant. Mr. Romero could release a 90-minute test pattern and his legacy would be secure.

But man alive (or undead), is his latest film dreadful.

I love the ‘Dead’ series like Pittsburgh zombie’s love human flesh. So when ‘Diary’ came out, I searched all over L.A. to catch it (and the fact that it was only playing at Grauman’s Chinese Theater did little to dampen my enthusiasm.)

Sadly, it was probably the worst movie I’ve ever watched in its entirety — and I’ve seen several Uwe Boll flicks.

It’s on DVD soon, so you can see for yourself.

It’s amazing no one thought of this sooner.
