I quite like post-apocalyptic films, things like 'Mad Max' for instance, because they are so full on and there is something quite cleansing about the post-apocalyptic because you can see where we all think we're heading.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love conventional apocalypse movies. In movies, I like to be with the president, or the scientist trying to solve the problem, but that's not the kind of fiction that I like to read.
My favorite movie of all time is probably 'Apocalypse Now.'
I like tragedies, whether they're sci-fi or something else, but I can't say I know much about any genre in particular.
The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.
I like zombies; I like them fine. But I don't have a long list of zombie movies or books that are among my favorite things in the world.
It is true that I will confess that I have an incredible fascination for pop-culture stories about the Apocalypse and the end of the world.
I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you're going to have this lone protagonist, they're going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys.
I love horror and sci-fi.
For me, writing post-apocalyptic novels isn't so much about exploding helicopters and fifty-megaton doomsday bombs as it is about the pleasure of dealing with the best of everything that makes us human: cleverness, grit, loyalty, and self-sacrifice.
I'm into zombie movies like 'World War Z' and the shows 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Walking Dead.'
