Homelessness kino. The book was great
it's amazing yeah
It's one of McCarthy's weakest.
>the book was great
>when he woke in the dark of the night of and the cold and the stink and the and the and he was jerking when he was laughing and then in the distance the clouds turned and reckoned they'd never see the day of reckoning comes.
>says the Judge
>he spat
Because it was fricking boring and forgettable
It's not exciting or interesting. It was just realistically bleak and interminable
do you think the cannibals raped the people in the basement before eating them
Only if they were looking and before being starved. They also had females in the group, so it's not like they were their only source of fun.
animals dont frick what they eat
>what is a black widow
yeah they just ate the women's limbs and then kept them pregnant so they could eat the babies.
You have to feed the women for 9 months just to eat a small baby. Seems inefficient.
It's a poster child for why adaptations turn out bad. Well made movie with a good cast and obviously great source material, but... the characters' inner states and emotions make up a large part of the book, because there's limited action and the world is a freezing ash desert. None of the internal stuff is in the movie because it can't be shown. It's just a straightforward film about the events described in the book. It could be a good movie in every way, and still not be a successful adaptation because of this. As currently constructed, it has virtues but it's kind of flat. Jericho is way better.
I've never heard about Jericho, I'll have to look it out
pure kino
Jericho the show with the nukes blowing up America and the small town surviving?
If so, you've got good taste anon.
Just rewatched the first season. fantastic taste
I remember watching this and it getting real shit real fast because writer strikes or something.
Season 2 declines in quality and then it dies with them making it to Texas and no resolution for the big conspiracy they had just unveiled..
But season 1 is still really good.
Maybe I'll rewatch it. All I remember from this show is the deaf girl with a shotgun and people dying en masse while traveling from sleeping in sleeping bags overnight. on the ground which I don't think is realistic at all.
It was radiation poisoning anon
The deaf girl is great, probably the least tokenized token I've ever seen
the unrealistic part was that huge crowd of rad zombie refugees being in one place, but only like a third of them died in the field
Season 2 is only half a season. I like the ending, but not the conclusion to the mystery, or much else in S2. Luckily S1 can be viewed as a Das Boot of apocalypikino
I think they made the 3rd season into a comicbook series?
like heros tv show, kino first season then absolute dog shit, those fricking israelites ruined a lot of good shows because they refused to raise the pay for writers
If you want to see a really bad case, look at Lilyhammer. First season was pure kino and rivals Breaking Bad in terms of writing. Second season turned it into a sitcom and the third season they just gave up and made Bruce Springsteen kill everyone (literally). I'm guessing it will be the same with Squid Games.
is that the one with silvio?
Great show but I remember the acid rain episode where the whole town goes into the mine and blows the entrance so the rain doesn't touch them, and then the nerdy kid just goes to the girls house and they stay there?
Too much soap opera drama. Doesnt check the kino check boxes
The rover
Next?
My S/O watches it once every month or so
It's good but I think the cinematography is too desaturated, bleak and dark
>My S/O

It's a boring idea for post-apo, even if realistic.
>oh no everything is gray and dead and hopeless and our ecosystem is dying and everyone is a cannibal because there's nothing to eat except for canned food and humans
>except for a bit of hope in the end jk
IMO the fun thing about post-apo is how people try to rebuild their world, the kind of new stuff that can arise. Even if it's not realistic it's a fun backdrop
>the fun thing about post-apo is how people try to rebuild their world
absolutely
nobody gives a frick about shooting zombies really, they want to watch people fortify whatever shelter they've got
this is why walking dead become unbearable, because after a certain point they should have basically rebuilt civilisation to quasi-19th century levels
The newer seasons aren't really worth watching without Rick and Carl, but there are multiple 50k+ populated societies that exists. At the end of the comics zombies are so rare Maggie's and Glenn's son makes a living showing people zombies in a traveling freak show.
>At the end of the comics zombies are so rare Maggie's and Glenn's son makes a living showing people zombies in a traveling freak show.
Doesn't every person have the virus ie "the walking dead"?
Idk. I guess they just have strict protocols regarding people near death.
Wait is that first page way before in the story? why are they together there? Also that happa kid looks like a homosexual
This is from the last few issues that pick up 20+ years after Rick's death. The eye patche guy is Carl. He killed Hershel Jr's walkers after they got loose.
Oh I see
PAW PAW
how badly would everyone try to rape the little boy? I don't think the film was nearly accurate enough in depicting how many men would want to kill the dad and rape the boy
the wife tells the dad that (multiple times probably) when she just gives up and kills herself. something along the lines of 'do you know what they will do when they find us? theyll kill you and rape us, then kill us.' good book. you feel so happy for them when they find the hidden fully stocked bunker.
>you feel so happy for them when they find the hidden fully stocked bunker.
canned peaches
Logan isn’t even post apocalypse, it’s just a movie where the mutant population is mostly gone and it takes place in Texas.
I was referring to the scort travel movie part. It made no sense how reluctant he was to help her and then suddenly he doesn't give a frick about dying for her.
too brown
People are soulless and cant recognize soul themselves.
I need more mccarthy kinos bros.....
Outer Dark would be amazing if done right.
Book of Eli was great and Fury Road were great.
>Read book
>author doesn't understand the basics of English language
frick off grammar homosexual
The problem with this story is that it has no goal. Like The Last of Us was about trying to transport a girl across a zombie apocalypse. This story was just about a dad and his son eating beans. It's really only memorable for its aesthetic.
The book is more of a character study. The dad constantly remains optimistic even tho he knows how fricked they really are. The son eventually matures in the book and is leading the dad.
"Dad what's the bravest thing you've ever done?"
"Getting up this morning."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Great novel, that line still sticks with me. The film is nowhere near as good.
All I know is the boy is my warrant.
the journey is the goal, how do you miss that?
because thats moronic. No ones goal is the 8h road trip to the holidays
dumb analogy, but appropriate for one filtered by something so simple
go back to your capeshit
good counter argument. I kneel
It’s too real
I don’t like it because it’s too grimdark.
you should try blood meridian. i stopped reading it about 100 pages in. what's the point in reading about subhumans being subhumans and performing atrocities? i don't get it.
sorry to hear that bro, it's not for everyone
it's alright, i've accepted high-minded literature's not for me
>literal brainlet
but not a pretentious one at least
The last of us is basically just a terrible imitation of this movie/novel. God I hate that game. I fricking hate games when you're in control of the character and you're basically a one man army killing everything in your path, and then a mandatory cutscene triggers and you have to watch as a single person overpowers your character who was beating and killing everyone in his path just seconds earlier. That's uncharted and the last of us in a nutshell and it's fricking moronic.
yeah i fricking hate those games and dont understand the appeal of them
this movie was just a massive kick in the dick. made me want to call my dad afterwards
>DOOOOOD SURVIVAL IS LE HARSH AND PEOPLE ARE LE ANIMALS WHEN ZOCIETY COLLAPSERINOS LMAO
Ok but why was the kid such a whiny gay? He acted like he's 4 when he's obviously like 9. Was he moronic or something?
You get someone to wash your head in freezing runoff and see if you don't squeeze out a tear or two. The actor was really crying from the pain, then when prompted by Viggo, got back into character.
Loved the book. It's lityrature so.it. doesn't always translate into film
>lityrature
book of Eli is literary better
>literary
wrong again shitskin
I liked how the author would autistically describe the environment in a long flowing prose
>https://www.readanybook.com/online/606534#423817
Anons, I implore you, read the book. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is one of the best books I’ve ever read and it’s only about 100 pages long and here it is for free. It’s so much better than the movie and you’ll be crying like a b***h by the end of it.
the audio book on youtube and is better they add more drama and have sound fxs
The Road is good, but it’s no Blood Meridian.
Every time I see that shopping cart I laugh. Those things can barely travel on smooth supermarket floors. What post-apocalyptic people need are things like those Mormon handcarts.
and where are you gonna find someone with the tools, know-how, time, and strength to make one of those?
pennsylvania no?
yeah I really want to go with my son and haggle with some suspiciously fat Amish.
Look at how much food this wagon can carry. It even has pockets for water bottles and sunscreen to block radiation. You can loop a rope through the handle and tie it to yourself to haul your nigg- food.
During an apocalyptic scenario, the roads will actually stay decent as there are very little cars/trucks using them. Just look at the average driveway vs the average road. A driveway will easily last for 20+ years, even with daily use and winter weather.
The worst thing for a road is snowplows. Any crack forms from ice, and they catch and rip it up.
Book of Eli came out the next year and that was kino
>zatoichi but he american christian
>kino
lmaoing at your life
>Some nip TV show has a barely similar plot to another story that has been done a bunch of other times
SIMPSONS DID IT!
Ya I like it because its not this cute post apocalypse it's the hellish nature of scarcity and the depletion of human dignity. Much of the genre speaks to the dissatisfied prepper boomers who secretly want the world to end, this speaks to the people that are carrying the fire every day.
were you in la palma threads?
>Logan = post-apocalypse
>Op = moron
>Logan
>post-apocalyptic
it takes place after the age of apocalypse, so yes it is post apocalyptic 🙂
Honestly, no.
There are simply too many elements that give the film the wrong 'feel' and it ends up being meh. You'd think after seeing how well the Coens adapted No Country the filmmakers would follow their lead but instead of having static shots and no music to create the feeling of an inhospitable empty world they have handheld shots and shitty sad carbon copy piano music. If you watch Casey Affleck's Light of My Life which is essentially The Road, you'll see how they should have made it.
Also pulling you out of the ending by making you think 'Hey that's Guy Pearce!' wtf were they thinking?
>If you watch Casey Affleck's Light of My Life which is essentially The Road, you'll see how they should have made it.
Completely different scenario.
>its damp and there is some frost at night
Lmao americans think northern Europe is what an apocalypse looks like.
dropped it like 5 minutes in
in the book he shows the kid how to kill himself because they're about to get caught it's not just a random moment of weakness.
is the rest any good, should I give it a second chance?
I loved it, but as a rule if a book doesn't hook me in the first couple of chapters I move on
yeah I just wanted to know if the rest of the movie is a good adaptation
like the book is pretty straightforward in it's "carrying the fire" theme and the movie seemed to betray that very theme right away
is the setting music and rest of the stuff good or at least worth watching?
i don't watch films, I've only read the book
There is a spiritual element in the book that is kinda lost in the movie. The man sees in the boy some kind of transcendent, pure force that makes him ponder about the value of life and existence and it keeps alive the flame, the will to keep going despite all the suffering. It's not a ''misery porn'' story at all.
So what caused the apocalypse? Nuclear war? Super volcano? Asteroid?
the book never explains
The book never explains it, but it's depicted as either some kind of long term ecological disaster. Either from a nuclear war, engulfing the world in a nuclear winter - or perhaps more probable (since radiation is never mentioned): A supervolcano covering the world with a volcanic winter and stunting growth worldwide.
most depressing book evar. not a single good thing happens in the whole thing.
>female self-sacrifice in opening scene
immersion broken
ups for my jeribros. saw heather lisinski play a royal b***h in a movie and it was really unsettling.
Season 1 is such an insane buildup, even if aspects of the final battle are anticlimactic. The mission in the enemy town should be stupid by all Hollywood logic, but it isn't.
Keef Woods made a great video on it recently
Couldn't get into it. I always imagined the father being stoic until something might endanger the kid or something makes his kid happy. But in this, he's hyper emotional and flips the frick out constantly. Just felt wrong.
Vigo is kino as always but i absolutely fricking despised the child actor. Completely ruined it for me. I cared about him in the novel but in the film i wanted him to fricking die.
TLOU has a better premise. Stop sucking Cormac's tiny dick, homosexual.
>TLOU has a better premise
lol
>the cries of a pleb
It's just b8, no one here actually likes The Last of Us.
I enjoyed the first one. The second one was gay
>The second one was gayer
fixd
>he got filtered by a book
/v/irgins are hilarious
Stop projecting, no one can be filtered by a cormac novel, homosexual pseud.
TLOU fans can't read, anon.
They should make a miniseries sequel where it turns out the boy was the father of a new civilisation arising from the ruins of the old, the Children of the Fire, who carry the fire of humanity's spirit in their hearts and refused to give up
>>The Last of Us is shit compared to it
Well duh, it's filled with stupid tropes and was written by some troons who saw the fungus parasite meme
