Another British film that used sci-fi to explore the collapse of civilization (as might have happened in a nuclear war), was Day of the Triffids, a film that is ripe for a remake. But something that I hope is much better than the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds. ________________________________ From: Bruce Daily <pocotron@yahoo.com> To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, September 6, 2010 7:59:18 PM Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Other-Boy could this have used a Tron/Theremin backin... Hi- "Warday" is a good read. More political and apocalyptical than sci-fi. 2 writers go cross-country in the aftermath of the event, gathering info and stories from the survivors. California becomes its own country (almost). Kind of like now, but more so. Seek out a used copy. -Bruce D. --- On Mon, 9/6/10, djacques@csulb.edu <djacques@csulb.edu> wrote: >From: djacques@csulb.edu <djacques@csulb.edu> >Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Other-Boy could this have used a Tron/Theremin >backin... >To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com >Date: Monday, September 6, 2010, 12:41 PM > > >Is it a good read? >------Original Message------ >From: Frank Samagaio >Sender: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com >To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com >ReplyTo: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Other-Boy could this have used a Tron/Theremin >backin... >Sent: Sep 6, 2010 10:24 AM > > >In a message dated 9/6/2010 9:57:24 A.M.
