I'll be there in spirit to offer you a shoulder to cry on.Yeah, I posted the trailer, but no big deal.
This is the movie I'm looking forward to the most right now. I hope I don't cry in the theater.
Just be sure to pass me a tissue.

Thanks! I take it you've read the book.

Sorry Batty! I did a search for it and came up empty.

I heard about it, haven't read it yet, but just from the trailer alone you can tell it's gonna be a tear jerker. I just bought the Kindle edition of the book for my iphone so I will be ready when the movie comes out!
Thanks! I take it you've read the book.

....it reminds me of that Simpson's annual halloween episode...I believe it was titled the Omega Man!?......
Nah, you're getting this confused with I Am Legend.
As much as I love the Matheson novel, and loathe the Will Smith film, it is just a fun twist on a horror story and Cormac's book is straight up literature in genre wrappings. The first 40 sec of the trailer is a bit WTF and Charlize Thereon is oddly prominent, but everything else looks to be straight from the book. The Proposition is haunting and amazing and surprising and Viggo is perfect so I imagine some Oscar noms for this one.

I actually didn't get any emotional feeling from the trailer but I have no idea about what this is based on either so that may be why. I thought this was going to be a tense horror.

To me, the book wasn't too much of tense horror, it was more survival angst; but to each his own. I hope they change the ending, I was never really a fan of it.

the ending is a type of shock then ?.
I don't want to know what happens by the way.
Yeah , I need to watch the full movie to gauge what its actually about I guess. It could go either way.

Don't want to spoil anything, but it was one type of shock. In all honesty, reading it, I didn't know where or how it was going to end, but it was a bit of a shock.
Here's a quick couple of statements regarding the horror aspect of the film and I can agree with that

Cool , thanks. I'm not usually a fan of that type of thing. It usually works really well or really bad. Lets hope its the first one.

The ending didn't shock me.. it felt natural, given everything that happens. I just want it to be pulled off the right way on screen.
Seriously.. that books is ^^^^ing dark..
the "spit", anyone?.. oy..
yeah.. i'm just knowing i'm gonna cry through half the movie..
something about mr. v always makes me all misty eyed.
when him and gandalf are talking in edoras about frodo, and you hear him choke up, i actually started bawling.. This movie is so much worse emotionally than the lord of the rings though.. and it will probably make me just want to die right there in the theater..
can't wait! haha..

Normally I'm not into that type either, but a friend of mine recommended it and I read it during a lazy weekend. If you pick it up, I'm sure you'll enjoy it....or really really really hate it

Don't want to give any hints away, so....
Even though the ending in the book was a mixture of shock/anger/sadness (at least for me) I wouldn't want it changed for the movie. Not everything has to have a happy ending. For me, the ending just fit (given the direction the story had been going the entire time).
