First, there is very little I have in common with Jenny from Canada. She's cute, I'll give you that, but with all the dick jokes, she can be a bit hard to take. But one of the things Jenny and I have in common is our great love of all things Post-Apocalyptic. Give us our Mad Max's. Give us our Testaments or Planets of the Apes. Even give us our Def Con 4s. They are all awesome in their own particular way.
(By the way, Jenny... I just finished Stephen King's Cell. It has to be the worst post-Apocalyptic, technophobic, telepathic flesh-eating zombie book I have ever read. But it also might be the best!)
Anyway, it's been a while since we have seen a really great Post-Apocalyptic film that didn't have to do with zombies of some kind. Maybe now that every country in Asia is knocking the shit out of each other, we can start to have some good ol' fear mongering that will lead to one zany WAR IS BAD film after the next.
Well the Pastor brothers are trying to jump the gun. They have written, and plan to direct a Post-Apocalyptic thriller where four friends try to escape a pandemic in the American West. Sounds all right, until you get to a couple small points. Like it's going to star Piper Perabo. And the movie is really about how these four friends are more dangerous to each other than the end of mankind. Right.
Because, if the world does end for whatever reason, and I am left to fend for myself with three friends, I am sure that Melvin the accountant who does my taxes is going to be much scarier than FLESHY-HEADED MUTANTS. And it's not like there is anything wrong with Piper Perabo. She's seems nice actually. Too nice to battle mutants or her accountant.
