Contagion?

[sweetsleep28]

has anyone seen the previews for this movie contagion, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/? according to this website its:an action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the cdc to deal with the outbreak. my dear boyfriend, was incredibly weirded out by this preview/concept for the movie. he says to me that's like that mrsa and vre stuff you deal with at work. what if something like that movie happened in real life. you're the one always saying that people over use antibiotics. and on and on he went. anyways. is it just me or do movies like this tend to "amp" up peoples fears of mrsa,vre,h1n1 etc. i know this type of movie is fiction. but with all of the pandemics that have been cropping up around the world, it just seems to me that something like this could lead into peoples fears if taken to seriously. thoughts?

Sometimes you just feel the need for a good apocolypse. It's good for what ails ya.

I going to come forward and admit that I love apocolyptic/end-of-the-world movies. Especially when I'm feeling down in the dumps.

I loved Andromeda Strain, anyone remember Omega Man?

Cloverfield is my current favorite, it's become it's own little cult industry. I highly recommend it.

Yeh, Omega Man....Charlton Heston, I think. That's an oldie (like me).
