So, I woke up, and the world isn't over over here. Is it over any where else for you guys?

About the zombie apocalypse post: My neighbor bought me the "Zombie Survival Guide" for Christmas. I read the hell out of that book. I suggest that everyone buy that, if they really know how to be be ready for the next Zombie Apocalypse Invasion thingy.

Has anyone seen Children of Men? That is the ultimate apocalypse movie. In the story, no one has had a child in 18 years, so everyone is going crazy. The movie really brings on this feeling of hopeless condemnation. In the book version, the British government makes everyone learn animal husbandry, just in case they found themselves as the last humans on earth.

I couldn't miss the subtle racial/ethnic undertones of Children of Men, like when they were arresting all foreigners. I think it reflects an underlying nationalism/racism prevalent in the UK and western Europe.

I haven't read the Zombie Survival Guide, but I have read How to Survive a Robot Uprising which wasn't as useful as hoped. What do we do when zombie robots walk the earth??

I saw the same things you did. I enjoyed both the movie and the book. Children of men was quite a thought provoking film.
