did anyone see that movie, "THE ROAD"?
i think it is about, "when the chit hits the fan". man needs to get x-country after civiliation goes tits up. 50% of us here are obsesses with zombies, rogue meteorites, anarchy...and the firearms needed to beat back the riots...
so has anyone seen it?

Is the movie in theaters now?
I would like a review as well. I just watched some classic zombie flicks the other night. I personally would welcome the walking dead. |

Read the book based on a discussion here a few months ago.
Was a good read. Did a search for clips on the net to get the flavor of how the movie made the translation from the book and was surprised to see there are a ton of long clips available on the net. can practically piece the whole movie together. saw enough of the movie that way to where I don't feel like I need to see it, having read the book already. but it looks like the movie was really well done. |

McCarthey wrote it for his 8 yr old son, the movie will probably get many awards Cormac McCarthy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a movie that leaves you feeling a little deflated even though the ending is somewhat optimistic.

Bleak. Dark. Insightful.

The book is very uplifting. Even in the darkness of a apocalyptic event, the kid found human kindness and someone to trust.

The story gives some insight to what humans might have gone through about 70,000 years ago when the entire world population was reduced to about 15,000, due to the Toba Supervolcano Event. And back then, they didn't even have canned food to rely on.
