EOTW, SHTF movie coming out "The Road"

[Masterguns]

Might be good, certainly looks accurate to what EOTW could be

The book was good. The movie has been seriously delayed. I think I saw trailers way back saying it was going to be out fall 2008.


Accurate EOTW? I don't know about that. The book doesn't even explain what caused it. I could go further... but i won't. Buy the book... it was a good read.

Charlize Theron....MMMmmmKAY...

I hope it is a little better then the last SHTF movie I saw, "The Trigger Effect" 1996.

Very much looking forward to this.

Viggo, Robert Duvall, AND Charlize Theron? Looks like a must see.

 

[Youradolt]

looks good

I had to put the book down. Very well written/interesting style, but way, way too depressing for my taste.

This looks really good, I'll have to check the book out first. Then again, the book doesn't always have much to do with the movie. Anyone ever read "The Postman"?





The New Zed Order: Survive

 

[Twigg]

While the end of the world would never be pretty, after skimming through the Wiki I'll pass.

Waaaaaaay to dark for me.

The preview doesn't look like it followed the story line of the book too closely, which is probably a good thing.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE FOLLOWING:








I have to agree with Mass-diver and MrTwigg - one of the most depressing stories I've ever read. I also found it a little unbelievable that the father in the book couldn't find better armament then the revolver with one cartridge that he carried.

The father also came across to me as pretty much a sheeple, in both language and demeanor. I didn't expect him to act like Mel Gibson in The Road Warrior, but I found him to be a little too passive.

Hopefully, the movie will be better. Just my $.02.

I liked the book a lot, but it's not *the* EOTW story. It's just one depiction of how things could go down. I think what I liked about the book is that it left room for the reader to interpret it in a few different ways (e.g., I happen to agree with center442, but I know not everyone would). I worry that a movie would leave less room for the subtle interpretation that makes the book so good, IMO.

the next NES open carry event ???

 

[TimJ]

Very depressing book. I think the Dad, being such a passive guy, was the luckiest guy on earth to have survived for as long as he had....

I'll probably see the movie on DVD.

The book was WAYYYY dark. Think I'll pass on this one.

Looks good to me!

"The Road" isn't any darker than the imagination. If you're a survivalist, you won't be surprised.

What makes it worth reading is the admirable main character - and perhaps the idea that Cormac McCarthy's scenario may not be fiction for long.

 

[Ziptar]

Great book. You realize stocking up for SHTF after reading this is useless. Stock up on cutlery, salt & pepper. There'll be plenty of two legged food wandering around when the time comes.

You forgot Fava Beans and a nice Chianti.

 

[Palladin]

ditto..

looks good!
