Not in a nuclear exchange.

I'm talking about the way people would be. All of the good people would be in hiding and the shitty people would band together and kill/eat/rape anybody they could find. There wouldn't be any communities of decent people you could join because you wouldn't be able to find them. It would be a trust no-one situation and fend for yourself.

The reason for the disaster is left a little ambiguous, though. They never say the dust is radioactive in the book, just that it's dust. There's one point where the clocks stop as something hits the Earth, but he never says whether it's nuclear or not.

Bangkok Dangerous was alot better than I expected. Not great, but good. Then Leaving Las Veags, which I thought would be good, was terrible. My quest to watch all Nicholas Cage movies is en route.

Glad you enjoyed it, but I thought Insidious was weak as hell. Awful script and almost nothing but cliches. It should be a rental at best.

Wow. I set a low bar for that movie and it managed to slither under it. It wasn't even funny bad, which I usually appreciate. I saw it in a bad movie double feature with Death Race. (Which actually ended up being pretty entertaining.) |

What I'm speaking of is the lasting effects of a nuclear winter. You wouldn't have a prolonged nuclear winter of almost 10 years even if every single nuke available in the 1980s were used. I know that it's left ambiguous, but if we are to apply rationality to the text, assuming that this wasn't happening in an advanced civilization, then it would have been some other cataclysm. However, I'm not saying that was the author's intent.

The Town is probably the best crime drama I've ever seen.
Heat with a happy ending. And a ****ton of awesome action. "JAMES COUGHLIN. YOU ARE SURROUNDED. THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND SURRENDER." "FAAAHK YOU." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 04-09-2011 at 05:44 AM.. |

Can't see this one being a dissapointment either. If ya got kids and want another Disney styled film that grown ups can ejnoy, I suggest these ones.
