I’ve gotta say “The Road” is probably the single most depressing movie I’ve ever seen.

George Orwell gets the trophy, as far as I’m concerned.

Not only was his apocalyptic vision inventive, it was also enormously prescient, even if his timing was off by a few years.

They will still have Marty Robbins on the Radio in the Post-Apocalyptic Future!

And use bottle caps for money!

>>I’ve gotta say “The Road” is probably the single most depressing movie I’ve ever seen.

It’s “Animal House” compared to “Melancholia”. But the final end of the world scene is pretty cool.

Heh, I went to a dinner party about two years ago, and a couple from Israel were there, of which the husband's favorite topic was the 2012 Mayan Calendar.

As he described the various calamities (Such as a tidal wave washing across Florida from the Atlantic to the Gulf) the hostess (who, with her husband, were planning to move to Florida in next year) turns to her husband and says in her finest "dumb blonde" voice (She's no dumb blond) "Vin, that's going to put a real damper on our Florida plans!"

I just fell out laughing!

When I sent them a card for their housewarming, I did this Photoshop for the front:
