Off Topic- movie The Road

Anyone see this? Good Lord, was like every paranoid thought I've ever had- all the worst ones too since becoming a father years ago!

Good movie...but, freaked me out! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I saw the movie and hope not to ever see anything like that. I have serious concern for my children and grandchildren.

Book was even more depressing. But a great read. The movie wasn't bad.

Agreed, I enjoyed the movie but loved the book. Worth reading, should only take you a couple evenings.

Off Topic again,

The Road by Tenacious D is an awesome song. Listen and learn.

Don't think I could handle the book- the movie was hard enough!

Have a comedy mystery one to read!

I have not seen the movie yet, but plan on it soon. My brother said it os one not to watch if you are slightly down or not feeling up.

+1 Great song!!!!
The D RULES!!!!!!

I hadn't heard of this movie till this thread and I had to YouTube a trailer. Looks good. Thanks for the heads up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Don't thank me until after you see it...might be more of "[censored] you and this movie too!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Viggo M is a fine actor but this was too grim for me...

The movie was a bit sad...what stood out to me was all the guns with no bullets.

The movie was quite depressing but can anyone name a movie or book with a positive outlook on the future?

Hell with you guys...I'm stocking up! Come on Dan...I need some SYKCO boolits <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That movie made me want to focus on my .22lr skills. Easy to carry, and ammo galore. Can still easily kill w/in 100yds+ if you maintain tactical advantage. I'll digress.

LOVED the movie though...just made me question the civility of humans, that's all....no big deal or anything *shakes*....a few swings of the B11 makes all things right in the lands.

In a survival situation I don’t think that any caliber comes close to the versatility of a .22LR. In the movie, it looks like the pistol being fired is a .38 special. I just weighed a 158g .38 special on my triple-beam scale and it weighed 15.3 grams. For the same weight, you can carry 5 CCI .22LR HP 36g. cartridges.

I do believe a surpressed pistol and rifle in .22lr would be one of the best SHTF rifles--especially in something that is compact.

I really enjoyed it, mostly because it was realistic. I even bought it on Blu Ray <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice movie , makes you think about this kind of situations .

I need to search feedback on these pistols (based on atchkinson design)...but they look like fun since they take the 26-rd mags <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Put a little 4moa red dot on it and go to town! Hell, even scope it would be fun for hunting squirrels (not sure of accuracy though).

Ish, I know they use the Blackdog magazines which are plentiful. What would be really nice is to SBR it, have a stock for more applicable reasons, and suppressed. Then to top it off have a good pistol that accepts the same suppressor.

I hear ya. I have a .22 barrel & setup for me LMT MRP, from Spikes. Runs flawlessly....and is a hoot.

I think my next purchase is to get another Ruger 22/45 and drop a Tac-Sol upper on it for the ultimate lightweight pistol. I've got my eye on the new RP model, so I can throw some Busse grips on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Buckmark Brownings are great little 22s.

Book of Eli and Mad Max films kind of romanticize "end of the world" scenarios, The Road does not. Truly depressing movie. Even when there is potential for a couple feel good moments they are not because the whole situation is insane.

and don't get me started on Charlize Theron <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
