It's a good book (I hear the movie is absolute poo poo, though), but there's a zoo scene that has scarred me for life.

Better get there before the furries do... If they have been trapped for days, there is the possibility of them being starved. The second you let some of the meaner creatures out, you better be climbing over a fence!

I really like zombie stories for the human characters and scenarios, rather than the zombies. It's a scary kind of situation that most people wouldn't know how to deal with. The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price is technically vampires instead of zombies, but they're close enough, and George Romero was influenced by those vampires when he made Night of the Living Dead and NotLD is what gave us the modern zombie. Previous zombie films had mostly been about people under voodoo spells.

See, movies about people living under voodoo spells are more interesting to me.

I just started some YA fiction about angels levelling everything/END OF DAYS!  Its like a 50/50 split between normal people living in little happy groups in the woods and other people possibly eating each other and running an angel bodypart black market which is probs fairly realistic. The Road is a good book. It was creepy and sad and my imaginary boyfriend Viggo is in the movie which I might watch tonight actually.

I don't really get the point of incredibly depressing post-apocalyptic stuff. Like The Road. Or even the Walking Dead. There's like no possibility of a happy ending so it's just watching people die slowly and painfully. (yeah, I get that it's supposed to be exploring the nature of man when faced with a hopeless situation or something but they're still dying) I'd rather watch something like the Mad Max movies where it's brutal but there's still the possibility the tribe of post punk teens will survive to form a new society.

I thought it was better mostly because it didn't come off as some kind of weirdo survivalist power fantasy. Yeah the man and his son are surviving the apocalypse, but they're just barely making it, the tiniest things are the most valuable and it's made clear that the best strategy is to run/hide/avoid conflict rather than "Grab a shotgun and let's DO this.  " And in the end one of them still dies from realistic stuff like illness and a fairly minor wound instead of going out in a blaze of glory.I also liked that it didn't really bother explaining what actually happened to the world because in the end that wasn't the point.
