movie TheRoad a question

[LowKey]

The book is better than the movie. I read that book about the same time I read The Patriots
I didn't see the movie until a year after reading it when I found myself stuck on a 5 hour plane ride. It was that movie or some Disney thing.

Kyrat pegged it.
There are hints all through the book that the father and boy are being shadowed by the other family that aren't quite so obvious in the movie.
Anything along a road is going to be picked clean. Farther off the beaten path you would have more chances to scavenge.

beeeeep. This is a test. Had this been an actual emergency...

[Rick]

OK. Like you're not. Be seeing ya.

I'm not the one talking about eating little kids. I may be thick as two planks but I'm not warped! So there.

I dunno about thick, but definitely dense!

[Rick]

Ooops. You misspelled that. I'm sure you meant Sense as in Rick exhibits really good sense. My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you and I thank you.

Remember the part where the father picked up and left that beautiful bunker with tons of food in it just because he heard that dog barking! I'm not so sure I would have abandon that place so quickly! I think I would have backed off a ways in the woods and just watched what was going on for a while before I just left!

[kyratshooter]

And guess whose dog that was?????

[Wildthang]

And guess whose dog that was?????

Yes, the couple that followed them to the west coast!

Thought I was describing nature. The young are tender and probably disease free. If, you want to inject some weirdness on me. That may say more about you.

I didn't see the movie or read the book. Just sayin, when it comes to predators they would go for the easy prey. The young.

[DSJohnson]

Never seen it or read it. Pretty sure now that I won't.

[Rick]

Oh sure. Use the old "I was referring to nature" excuse.

[MrFixIt]

Never seen it or read it. Pretty sure now that I won't.

The movie is decent, but the book is better IMO.

[Wildthang]

Well if you just watch it knowing it's just a movie, it isn't that bad! If you are looking for true survival methods and wanting everything to make perfect sense, then maybe you shouldn't watch it. I have seen a lot worse movies than this one!

[hayshaker]

i think i'll watch it again tonite over supper .

[DSJohnson]

Never seem to have time to sat down and watch a movie. I will check the book out though. Thank all y'all.
