Dan, on the one hand, I’m glad it’s not just me who worries about this stuff. On the other hand, it’s an absolute swine as it just won’t leave your head once it comes in.

@Dad Who Writes, I took one look at AI and decided to avoid it.

I am only good with mindless popcorn movies since becoming a parent. although I think my profession has something to do with it too – I get enough gritty realism and emotional angst at work

Not sure if this will help your obsession, but friends here say that they went from living a normal life to being in full scale, truely terrible conflict in 24 hours. They didn’t see it coming.

There are certain books I can’t read – especially things like The Road – and I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch Grave of the Fireflies either. Fantasy devastation doesn’t have quite the same impact, admittedly.

Though having said said, the one time I watched AI, I sobbed most of the way through it and for hours afterwards. But that probably had to do with a whole bunch of stuff.

@Seattledad (Luke, I am Your Father), I’m not sure I’d resort to cannibalism. Certainly not my neighbors anyhow. I don’t know where they’ve been
