    Upcoming Projects Make the Future Look Dark (You Will Not Need Shades)

    Sometimes movies and TV shows depict a future that is bright and hopeful — look no further than JJ Abrams's optimistic Star Trek reboot as an example. But mostly the powers that be down in Tinseltown seem to believe that audiences would rather watch stories about a nightmarish, post-apocalyptic future. Turns out Terminator Salvation was just the beginning of a surge of similarly dark and scary stories. It's compelling stuff, but still, someone in LA needs a hug.

    I actually enjoy dark and/or tragic movies the most; just like my favorite books are the most tragic ones (The Picture of Dorian Gray, Anna Karenina, My Sister's Keeper). I don't know what it is; maybe because my life ISN'T tragic at all; but I just find them the most enjoyable and compelling. don't get me wrong; I still love comedies and romance movies, etc.; but tragedies are the best...

    I feel the same. I love disaster movies, particularly The Day After Tomorrow (I know, kinda lame). I don't know why it is though. Maybe, like you guys, I appreciate the good things in life, and I know it will probably never happen.

    Even if your life isn't great, it reminds you that there are people who have it MUCH worse than you....

    i always enjoy the genre of dark, compelling movies the most. sure, comedies and action flicks have their place...but i absolutely love movies that make me think, talk to others, and recognize the pain that flows through us all.
