Year: 1975
Director: L.Q. Jones
Plot: Based on the novella by Harlan Ellison, A Boy and His Dog is set in a post-apocalyptic future where canned goods are used as currency and where entertainment often consists of old porn reels. Vic (Don Johnson) is a violent, illiterate scavenger, principally interested in getting laid. He communicates telepathically with his deceptively cute-looking dog Blood (voiced by Tim McIntire); Vic finds food for Blood, while Blood sniffs out girls for Vic. One of these girls is the sexy Quilla June (Susanne Benton), who, unbeknownst to Vic is a spy for an underground society, headed by a Mr. Craddock (Jason Robards Jr.). This subterranean civilization needs a human "sperm bank" to stay alive, and the oversexed Vic fills the bill. Produced by character actor Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimball of TV's Green Acres), A Boy and His Dog was written and directed by another veteran actor, L.Q. Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: As the financial markets pull the entire economy into utter despair, it’s difficult to think about Christmas shopping. It’s tempting to shove your life savings into your mattress and ride this thing out in a homemade bunker, but holiday shopping is more important now than ever before. I’m not saying this with the hope that a boost in retail sales will jolt the sinking markets, that will never work. Think about it, they’re racking up trillions in debt and you’re going to help by buying an iPod? Nice try. No, the reason you need to stuff stockings like crazy is because this will be the last Christmas on Earth, at least as we know it. A trifecta of economic, nuclear, and environmental apocalypses will surely befall our poor planet in the coming year, leaving a small band of survivors to fend off death in the savage wastes of our once great world. But don’t worry! You and yours will be prepared for this dark tomorrow, if you follow our handy Post-Apocalyptic Gift Guide: Puppy This is a classic Christmas gift, and it’s surprising useful in a post-apocalyptic environment. While watching post-apocalyptic movies in preparation for a life wandering the ruins civilization (cf. I Am Legend, The Road Warrior, and A Boy And His Dog), you’ll notice that many heroes keep a trusty K-9. The obvious reason is companionship, as going months without seeing another human can be maddening. While dogs do need to be fed, a tough breed can eat trash and carrion that you wouldn’t go near. The right kind of dog (larger breeds are best) can also offer protection and help with hunting, assuming natural flora and fauna still exist. Lastly, and I hate to say this, Fido can even become a meal if the situation gets desperate enough. Solar Gadget Charger Second only to clean water, a key to survival in a post-apocalyptic environment is the ability to watch movies. Classics like Tank Girl, Six String Samurai, and The Postman offer invaluable tips for survival in the wastelands. Luckily, portable solar-power devices have become more affordable. The 30 Watt Mono-crystalline Portable Briefcase Solar Panel 12V Charger is a bit pricey, but with it’s 25+ year life-span and ability to charge not only laptops but also any other gadget that can be plugged into a car cigarette lighter, it’s a must-have. Portable game systems, rechargeable flashlights, even GPS units (assuming the satellites haven’t been shot down by invading aliens), could be used for years after the collapse of the power grid. Towel This one might seem odd, or even frivolous, but hear me out. The idea comes from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, which was a BBC radio show, then a series of books, and finally a film in 2005. The film was tragically brief considering the amount of source material, so I’d recommend downloading the audio of the radio show to your solar-powered laptop while you still can. One piece of advice the book gives adventurers traversing the cosmos after the annihilation of Earth, is to always carry a towel. While it’s unlikely that you’ll ever get off of our doomed planet, the towel can be just as useful in the terrestrial wastes. From the book: …[The towel] has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon… The list of uses, including self defense and the psychological effect of seeming with-it enough to know where your towel is, goes on and on. A Good Pair of Shoes Shoes are a tricky gift, because the fit is so important. But if you’re planning on treading through the shattered remains of cities, you’ll want to think about arch support, ankle protection, and warmth. Hiking boots are probably a good choice, which can be expensive, but remember, these will need to last. Your next pair of shoes will probably be pulled off of a dead body, and they may not be the right size. If you’re still not convinced that navigating armageddon requires proper footwear, re-watch the final sequence from Children of Men, where Clive Owen struggles across broken glass and re-bar in bare feet. Ouch. Hazmat Suit This snappy Commander EX™ Brigade Level A Suit from DuPont runs about $1,900, but when it comes to avoiding the virus that wiped out the rest of humanity, you can’t put a price on safety. I tried to find the clear plastic variety that would expose your naked body and your vulnerability as a human in an unforgiving world, like the one worn by Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys, but they seem to be unavailable. Mailbag/Postal Uniform In the much-maligned post-apocalyptic classic The Postman, Kevin Costner’s character finds a bag of mail and a postal uniform. When he assumes the identity of the letter-carrier, he spreads his sense of purpose and patriotism across the shattered land. The key here is really the uniform, not necessarily that it’s a mail carrier. It’s been proven that uniforms can have a profound psychological effect, both for the wearer and for those interacting with them. It’s no coincidence that General Bethlehem’s sinister Holnists have uniforms of their own, a key element to building their fledgling fascist regime. It may seem impractical, but uniforms will nevertheless be key to re-establishing order in the midst of anarchy, for better or worse. BBC’s Planet Earth Once you have your solar-powered laptop, you’re free to horde whatever sort of DVD collection you choose. Certainly titles that preserve a sense of the former grandeur of the world would be the jewels of any such collection. I’ve picked BBC’s stellar nature documentary series Planet Earth. This series depicts the stunning beauty and mind-boggling bio-diversity of our planet better than anything I’ve seen. While you hunker down in an abandoned meat locker to avoid the latest fallout-laden dust storm, you can watch amazing footage of the thousands of species that no longer exist, and cry yourself to sleep.

Body: People often say that the only things certain in life are death and taxes. But what if the government, along with a vast majority of the population, were suddenly obliterated? What are the certainties of life in a post-apocalyptic world? Death keeps its hold, but in a desert world scorched by nuclear holocaust or a zombie plague, death has a new partner in inevitability: sex. Sure, sex is already as ubiquitous as taxes, but plenty of post-apocalyptic movies point out that sex gains a renewed importance in a world devoid of order. Even in films that are not specifically about sexuality after the implosion of society, sex is still an important linchpin. In the modern-day zombie classic 28 Days Later (mild spoilers follow), our heroes-on-the-run, Jim, Selena, and Hannah, find relative safety in a mansion fortified by a small band of soldiers. Before long, the all male band of troops begin making not-so-subtle overtures to the two young women. Their captain, in a futile attempt to persuade Jim to disregard the well-being of his friends, pleads, “But I promised them women!” Jim’s refusal to condone this flesh trade nearly gets him killed, but the potency of the zombie plague has a poetic way of enacting revenge on his behalf. After the jump, “carnal desire” gains a whole new meaning… The soldiers’ demand for sexual favors as payment for protection does a lot more than simply set up a situation in which Jim swoops in as the knight in shining armor. It illustrates that in a world with no real economy, the flesh trade quickly fills the void. A more recent example of this is Fernando Meirelles’ Blindness (more mild spoilers ahead). A global outbreak of contagious blindness all but destroys civilization. The first to be infected are rounded up and locked in an abandoned asylum, where their attempts to self-govern grow increasingly bleak. Eventually a band of men seize all incoming food shipments, demanding sexual favors from the women of the other groups. It’s a truly gut-wrenching scene when the men eventually comply, and allow the female volunteers, many of them wives and girlfriends, to take part in the demeaning trade. The scene that follows is extremely hard to watch, partly due to the sexual violence that’s depicted, but mostly due to the verisimilitude of the whole situation. What the film (and the book before it) reveals is that humanity, when pushed to the brink, will negotiate even its most sacred and personal aspects for survival. The film is not saying that blindness causes depravity, as some groups have suggested, but rather that a relatively small change, like the loss of sight, can unleash a depravity that’s always been lurking just beneath the surface. It’s also worth pointing out that the portrait of post-apocalyptic sex painted by 28 Days Later and Blindness can be critiqued in a number of ways. For one, the idea that the male protagonists in each film are faced with the “choice” of whether to “give up their women” is extremely patriarchal. While in Blindness the dilemma is handled in a slightly more even-handed way, Selena in 28 Days Later seems to go from ass-kicking zombie-killer to damsel-in-distress as soon as she’s forced to put on a dress. Am I the only one who wanted to see her fight her way out of that situation on her own, without the aid of Jim? The other critique of these two examples is that they’re altogether too negative. A post-apocalyptic world is a world without authority, an anarchy where desires can be fulfilled by those brave enough to take charge, a playground for the id, if you will. The best example of this model is the 1975 film A Boy and His Dog, starring Don Jonson (spoilers follow). Set in a typical post-nuclear wasteland, Vic is a young man on a quest for sex. Lucky for him, he has Blood, a sentient dog with whom he can communicate telepathically. Blood can sense whenever a young woman is in the area, and he tells Vic, who in turn makes sure the dog stays well fed. Vic’s first conquest reveals that he is essentially a serial rapist. But his encounter with beautiful young Quilla June is halted by an angry mob. They team up to defeat the intruders, defending their underground hiding spot. A bond is forged, and they make sweet love multiple times as consenting young adults. Quilla June, sure she has found true love, brings Vic back to her home, a vast underground vault modeled after an idealized version of the Antebellum South, with a Colonel Sanders-like dictator played by Jason Robards. Things don’t go well. Vic is strapped to a machine that systematically pumps his sperm, which is needed to impregnate the women of the vault, because the men have become sterile after decades of living underground. The young lovers break away from this creepy cult of sexual repression and escape to the surface. Vic smells the freedom of anarchy once more when they emerge from the vault, but Quilla wants him to settle down into a quiet family life. Also, upon release from vault Vic is reunited with Blood, who was waiting for him on the surface. The poor hound has nearly starved to death without he and Vic’s usual sexual-partners-for-food arrangement. Vic is presented with a choice, settle down with his woman or keep rambling with his dog. In the end he kills two birds with one stone, (I’m not making this up) by killing Quilla June, providing he and Blood with both freedom and a substantial meal. A Boy and His Dog is clearly a farce, but it still points out important truths about sex. When humanity is faced with despair and possible extinction, sex illustrates both our highest and our lowest goals. The connection between two lovers is a beautiful expression of what it means to be human. The act of procreation is in both practical and symbolic terms our most essential function. On the other hand, sex can represent the surrender of oneself to carnal desires. The only goals in an anarchy are self-preservation, followed by self-fulfillment. A world without structure is the impetus for the ultimate sexual revolution, for better or worse. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Post Date: 9/16/2008 12:01:20 PM
Body: (Image: Hisaharu Motoda’s “Neo-Ruins” via Pink Tentacle) The latest news from Wall Street seems to indicate that a complete financial meltdown is only a few weeks away. Before you violently horde every morsel of food from your local supermarket or begin a hostile take-over of your corner gas station, there are several movies you should watch in order to prepare for life after the downfall of Western civilization. There have been plenty of films in which the world we know is nothing but a burned out shell of its former glory. Nuclear holocaust and virulent plagues are common Earth-clearing disasters, but there’s no reason to think that a global economic collapse would be any less destructive. Let’s not forget that one of history’s most common causes for war is a desperate grab for resources during tough times. So without further ado, seven lessons from the movies, essential for surviving our impending doom: 1. Hoard gasoline! Plenty of people are already getting a jump on this one, apparently upping demand to the point where falling oil prices are not translating to the pump. If you think waiting 15 minutes in line to buy gas at $4.50 a gallon is bad, watch The Road Warrior again. From the opening sequence where Mel Gibson gingerly harvests every precious ounce of fuel from an abandoned vehicle to the final deadly battle over a tanker truck, it’s clear that in a post-apocalyptic world, gas is gold. Sure, we’re working on becoming less dependent on the stuff, but what good is a Chevy Volt going to do you if the power grid is in shambles? 2. Learn a trade that’s useful regardless of available technology! Farmers, builders, doctors, these people will always be useful, even if your society’s currency consists only of the teeth of your enemies. If your skill set is of a less practical variety, don’t worry, people will still need entertainment. One good model is Kevin Costner’s character in The Postman. Before he takes on the titular role as a letter carrier, he makes his way from town to town as a traveling minstrel. The Pony Express-style mailman gig he eventually gets is a good job as well, but it tends to be quite dangerous. 3. Do not take a job at a butcher shop! I can’t stress this one enough. History has unfortunately proven that when times get extremely tough, people will eat one another, it’s a natural consequence of human depravity. If you see an ad in the paper for a general labor position with a high turn-over rate at a deli specializing in fresh meat, don’t be foolish like Dominique Pinon’s character in Delicatessen. The dark comedy, from Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, tells the story of a former circus performer who lands a job at a butcher shop with a less than wholesome supply chain. If McDonalds is still open when New York’s financial district is nothing more than a smoking ruin used to house gladiatorial death matches, be suspicious. 4. If you are fertile, be careful with your precious seed! The human race is notoriously tenacious, so don’t think the collapse of society means the end of our fair race––we’ll survive, somehow. But when things get really crazy, potential candidates for the new Adam and Eve need to be on guard. Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is an excellent example of how post-apocalyptic citizens can go baby crazy. There are also a number of examples of post-apocalyptic fiction where a fertile man is a highly sought-after commodity in a female-dominated dystopia. A Boy and His Dog and Hell Comes to Frogtown both feature walking sperm banks charged with saving womankind (played by Don Johnson and Rowdy Roddy Piper, respectively). Also, SciFi Wire reported yesterday that Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso’s next film will be an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s amazing graphic novel Y the Last Man. The film will (presumably) star Shia LaBeouf as Vic, who is, you guessed it, the last human male on earth. 5. For God’s sake, save the library! This tip doesn’t concern personal survivability so much as a general service to humanity. When I was in school I was forced to watch the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine for some reason. I loved it. But I was also terrified by its vision of the future. My most vivid memory of the film is when our hero finds that future generations have not maintained the library, letting the entire record of human history literally turn to dust. It’s a good thing that people like Wired magazine founding editor Kevin Kelly are doing cool things like The Long Now Project, because digital storage of information is almost comically transient. Also, if you don’t think things this important can really be lost, watch the 2007 Iraq war documentary No End in Sight. The part about the looting of the National Museum and the burning of the Iraqi National Archives made me cry. 6. If you live in a temperate climate, head South! This one is simple enough, and it’s the premise of Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Road, the film adaptation of which will be in theaters this November, starring Viggo Mortensen. The story dispenses with the typical global catastrophe story line common to most post-apocalyptic tales, and focused instead on a man and his son attempting to avoid danger as they head South for the winter through a blighted landscape. This is the film I most look forward to this fall; it takes the genre in a very serious direction, so don’t expect any Mad Max-like car chases. For our purposes here, The Road really teaches two valuable lessons: one, even something seemingly simple, like heading South, can be potentially deadly; and two, it gives some great tips on scavenging through buildings that have already been picked over by looters. 7. If given the opportunity to travel back in time to thwart the collapse of civilization, do not fall in love! If you are the one chosen to save humanity via time travel, it’s important to avoid the retro sex appeal possessed by the single people of the past. This is no time for love! Two films illustrate this, one is a remake of the other. The 1962 French short film La Jetée uses a montage of stunningly beautiful black and white stills to tell the story of a time traveler distracted from his mission by romance. It’s one part French New Wave, one part killer sci-fi, and an absolute classic. Terry Gilliam expanded the story with his 1995 adaptation, 12 Monkeys. If you’ve seen either film you know that the missions to the past are not exactly successful, although it’s debatable whether or not romance is to blame. Nevertheless, if the future of humanity is in your hands, stay on task! Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Before you violently horde every morsel of food from your local supermarket or begin a hostile take-over of your corner gas station, there are several movies you should watch in order to prepare for life after the downfall of Western civilization. There have been plenty of films in which the world we know is nothing but a burned out shell of its former glory. Nuclear holocaust and virulent plagues are common Earth-clearing disasters, but there’s no reason to think that a global economic collapse would be any less destructive. Let’s not forget that one of history’s most common causes for war is a desperate grab for resources during tough times. So without further ado, seven lessons from the movies, essential for surviving our impending doom: 1. Hoard gasoline! Plenty of people are already getting a jump on this one, apparently upping demand to the point where falling oil prices are not translating to the pump. If you think waiting 15 minutes in line to buy gas at $4.50 a gallon is bad, watch The Road Warrior again. From the opening sequence where Mel Gibson gingerly harvests every precious ounce of fuel from an abandoned vehicle to the final deadly battle over a tanker truck, it’s clear that in a post-apocalyptic world, gas is gold. Sure, we’re working on becoming less dependent on the stuff, but what good is a Chevy Volt going to do you if the power grid is in shambles? 2. Learn a trade that’s useful regardless of available technology! Farmers, builders, doctors, these people will always be useful, even if your society’s currency consists only of the teeth of your enemies. If your skill set is of a less practical variety, don’t worry, people will still need entertainment. One good model is Kevin Costner’s character in The Postman. Before he takes on the titular role as a letter carrier, he makes his way from town to town as a traveling minstrel. The Pony Express-style mailman gig he eventually gets is a good job as well, but it tends to be quite dangerous. 3. Do not take a job at a butcher shop! I can’t stress this one enough. History has unfortunately proven that when times get extremely tough, people will eat one another, it’s a natural consequence of human depravity. If you see an ad in the paper for a general labor position with a high turn-over rate at a deli specializing in fresh meat, don’t be foolish like Dominique Pinon’s character in Delicatessen. The dark comedy, from Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, tells the story of a former circus performer who lands a job at a butcher shop with a less than wholesome supply chain. If McDonalds is still open when New York’s financial district is nothing more than a smoking ruin used to house gladiatorial death matches, be suspicious. 4. If you are fertile, be careful with your precious seed! The human race is notoriously tenacious, so don’t think the collapse of society means the end of our fair race––we’ll survive, somehow. But when things get really crazy, potential candidates for the new Adam and Eve need to be on guard. Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is an excellent example of how post-apocalyptic citizens can go baby crazy. There are also a number of examples of post-apocalyptic fiction where a fertile man is a highly sought-after commodity in a female-dominated dystopia. A Boy and His Dog and Hell Comes to Frogtown both feature walking sperm banks charged with saving womankind (played by Don Johnson and Rowdy Roddy Piper, respectively). Also, SciFi Wire reported yesterday that Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso’s next film will be an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s amazing graphic novel Y the Last Man. The film will (presumably) star Shia LaBeouf as Vic, who is, you guessed it, the last human male on earth. 5. For God’s sake, save the library! This tip doesn’t concern personal survivability so much as a general service to humanity. When I was in school I was forced to watch the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine for some reason. I loved it. But I was also terrified by its vision of the future. My most vivid memory of the film is when our hero finds that future generations have not maintained the library, letting the entire record of human history literally turn to dust. It’s a good thing that people like Wired magazine founding editor Kevin Kelly are doing cool things like The Long Now Project, because digital storage of information is almost comically transient. Also, if you don’t think things this important can really be lost, watch the 2007 Iraq war documentary No End in Sight. The part about the looting of the National Museum and the burning of the Iraqi National Archives made me cry. 6. If you live in a temperate climate, head South! This one is simple enough, and it’s the premise of Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Road, the film adaptation of which will be in theaters this November, starring Viggo Mortensen. The story dispenses with the typical global catastrophe story line common to most post-apocalyptic tales, and focused instead on a man and his son attempting to avoid danger as they head South for the winter through a blighted landscape.

If you are the one chosen to save humanity via time travel, it’s important to avoid the retro sex appeal possessed by the single people of the past. This is no time for love!

Body: I just saw the amazingly bizarre A Boy and his Dog. Set in apocalyptic earth after WWIV, Vic (Don Johnson) telepathically communicates with gifted dog Blood. Blood has the infallible ability to locate females, a fantastic gift for endlessly horny Vic. Starving and horny the two wander the desolate land. Their only hope for is the world over the hill- utopia (one conversation suggests that this is the dream of lost civilization, the idealized world of yesterday). In this animal world, a primitive and violent Vic survives solely on pillage and rape. The most poignant remainders of humanity are found in the touching relationship of this boy and his dog. The biggest problem with the movie is that it introduces several interesting ideas and does not explore them. For example, there's a threatening glowing green force called the screamers that are apparently very harmful. One reference suggests that is they so much as touch you- you'll die. Even the toughest of men run like children at the mention of screamers. Vic temporarily suppresses his male urges when the woman he intends to rape escapes in the pit of the screamers. Only when Blood tells Vic to stop quivering like a baby does Vic deny his fear and follow his instinct. This lust, however, almost gets them killed. A group of 20+ men come to rape the woman. A stubborn Vic at this point cares more about sex than his life. As a result, Blood, Vic and the woman are almost killed and must hide out in the screamers pit. To the wise Blood's dismay, the two continually disrupt his peaceful sleep with their animal sex. Manipulated by the sexual prowess of the woman, Vic abandons Blood to follow her to the underworld. The remainder of civilization is preserved underground. It is an eerie, Lynch-like Pleasantville ruled by a committee. It turns out that the power-driven woman submitted herself to Vic in order to lure him down there and earn her place on the committee. It should be noted that her drive for power is the only non-misogynistic element in the movie. It turns out that the committee has selected Vic to provide the sperm for their women. This sounds like a dream come true until Vic is hooked up to a sperm-extracting machine. Again, this Brave New World, 1984 dystopian idea of population control is left unexplored. Through a turn of events, Vic escapes with the woman back to the barren, desolate ruins of the surface world. The movie avoids the clichés and does a good job showing that the surface land has as many problems as the underworld. Blood waited for Vic, but as a result he is on the brink of death. Vic must make a crucial decision. This ending is incredibly funny, and well realized as it bring the movie round full circle in an evolutionary, survival of the fittest way. The movie is best for it’s oddly telling male relationship. ~Kristen Gorlitz
