I wou...if you liked Phase 7 and the movie Contagion<br />I would recommend the book<br />THE JAKARTA PANDEMIC by Konkoly<br />its a pretty realistic scenario of a flu pandemicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-40159422434387113162012-02-06T10:24:26.034-08:002012-02-06T10:24:26.034-08:00I saw this movie on Netflix the other night.

It was indeed fun to watch and I think a lot of the humor came through despite the language barrier.<br /><br />Is it common to say, "Good leuck" when parting ways in Argentina? They said that frequently in the film.Natenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-16657122647597979072012-02-03T07:42:21.892-08:002012-02-03T07:42:21.892-08:00You wrote, "I suppose lots of its sarcasm is ...You wrote, "I suppose lots of its sarcasm is lost in translation, but for a native Argentine Spanish speaker it does have its moments." <br /><br />After watching the movie(in dubbed English), I suspected as much. The movie is good, but the tone was a bit uneven, sometimes you would think it should have been funny, but it wasn't. Still, it was a very interesting movie. <br /><br />Movie aspects aside, while the movie was set in an apartment building in a major city, the idea of being so isolated from what is happening around you if you "shelter in place" fits really well with modern suburbia as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-56275423469800911532012-02-02T20:17:11.182-08:002012-02-02T20:17:11.182-08:00I just saw a Matt Damon movie, "Contagion&quo...I just saw a Matt Damon movie, "Contagion". It was great story with enough info to be a documentary about the birth and worldwide spread of an extremely deadly disease. It's got plenty of well-known actors and it was really good. I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it.<br /><br />Most of the lessons on your blog from home defense to food shortages came into the plot at various times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-53966871757123887782012-02-01T12:36:49.511-08:002012-02-01T12:36:49.511-08:00I must admit I enjoyed the movie even though I spe...I must admit I enjoyed the movie even though I spent a lot of time reading the subtitle. It give you a perspective of what will happen if law and order collapse and some wanna be's wants to enforce their will on others whom they think are helpless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-79184090364040819682012-02-01T06:31:10.965-08:002012-02-01T06:31:10.965-08:00I bought this movie, it was two thumbs up.

I watched it in shifts, in Spanish, with subtitles, so as not to expose the 2 year old to the "f" bombs...until the main character started cussing in English. D'oh!<br /><br />I wanted his neighbor's closet.<br /><br />I would recommend it to anybody as unlike in most Hollywood movies, the guy who is prepared isn't killed first and the unprepared idiots mostly die.Pakkinpoppanoreply@blogger.com
