I haven't read "The Road" yet. I lack the courage. *bites lip* But I will see the movie, of course, because I wouldn't miss Viggo for the world, no matter what.:)
Maybe it's that I love these characters/people so deeply and I hate the thought of anything but romance and happiness. Sure, I don't mind them going through trials, so long as they end up together. ;) Or maybe it's that fic is my happy place where I retreat from all the crap that's going on in life.
It seems to be exactly the same way for me. I just wonder why happy movies/comedies often annoy or bore me, and fluffy fanfic doesn't (unless it's really, really bad... lol). It could be the characters - in a film they are always strangers to me, at least in the beginning, so I don't care that much what happens to them; while in fanfic they already feel close and familiar from the start. At least that's the only explanation I can think of at the moment. *ponders*
Well this was a useless ramble.
No ramble is ever useless if it lets me know what's going on in your mind. Especially after such endless silence. *hugs*
