[...] I’m with Brad at Sadly, No! who gives us a choice of post-apocalyptic video clips to choose from (via Big Action): Seriously. [...]

Has anybody been considering video game worlds? How about the future time from ‘Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’? For a post-apocalyptic world, it was quite nice. I could live there happily.

Drat. No Don Johnson’s in my apocalypse.

Many apologies for the incoherence. I just got up.

I'll heartily second Canticle for Leibowitz and Riddley Walker, particularly because the latter features steamy, older-woman/younger-man sex. If you're going for Boy and his Dog, gotta go for the real thing, ie the book. I don't want no Don Johnson's in my apolcalypse, thank you very much. On the movie front, the Australian answer is Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em. The world's ending? So party! It's the Australian way. And on that note, how about Apocalypso? It's a special dance!

I’ll tell you something, when I was growing up we had a dog that looked just like Blood. Man, that was a great dog.

Seconding Protected Static’s nomination of Hardware. Radiation-free reindeer steaks! Lemmy as water-taxi driver! Tom Friedman would get an entirely different perspective on the world if he talked to more taxi-drivers like Lemmy.

Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) for sure. I want to be the Gyro Captain.

You are right Snowcrash is too close to our world.

I gotta go Mad Max. Bust out the leathers’n'feathers and raid the enclaves of people who put some effort into surviving on their own.

@Galactic Dustbin, I don’t think society had collapsed -enough- in Snow Crash for it be a viable choice here.

In lieu of recreating the post that got eaten by the bitbucket, I'll just nominate Footfall, since I could totally build a nukyular spaceship.

Just as long as it's not The Stand. The White Plague would totally suck, too. And I won't even mention that Hubbard novel. (Can I write in Hell Comes to Frogtown?)
