I enjoy the journey greatly as I get to tag along seeing how the survivors manage and how the experience forges them into something more than they were. I think these stories speak at a very primal level. I like to see how this either hardens or breaks them. They go from struggling to pay the phone bill to struggling to keep themselves and others alive. When humanity crumbles around them these flawed heroes stand tall and try to make their way.
The ones who can rise above the rest and keep their sense of right and wrong. I like reading about the extremes people will go to to survive. I've moved into Alternative Realities by guys like Stirling and my guilty pleasure is Zombie novels. Reading has continued to be a big part of my life. I devoured CS Lewis before moving on to Tolkien. The teacher had to give me two colors because it was looking more like a worm than a caterpillar. We had a 'reading caterpillar' around the room at my school where every time you read a book you put your name on your color paper and hung it up.

Reading has Living in a lighthouse as a child led me early to a love of reading. Auguste Dupin, who first appeared in 1841’s The Murders in the Rue Morgue and later in The Mystery of Marie Rogt. (You'd be amazed!) Two of my favorite houses growing up! I read.

Setting the film on the coast of California might have slightly diminished the atmosphere, but in return it added wonderfully to the theme of the story, that outward appearances can lie to us, and things shouldn’t be taken at face value.Living in a lighthouse as a child led me early to a love of reading. Poe had always used the setting as an extra character, so the frigid, unforgiving tundra of some distant northern land would really have added to the mood. Poe’s original setting for this story was a bitterly cold island off the coast of Norway. Despite this, the film does a pretty decent job sticking to the overall feel of Poe’s writing, which is really hard to do given the fact that it was filmed in central coast California, which is arguably one of the most beautiful and romantic places on Earth. The source material is super thin so after J.P washed up on shore, the writers could go in any direction they wanted and still tag Poe’s name to it. (Yes, that’s right, the legendary Vernon Wells! Who has been in some of my favorite movies from the 80’s including Commando, Mad Max: The Road Warrior, and Innerspace.)Īfter that, there is not much that we can say is influenced by Poe’s final story.
