  • Spent some time this morning reading reviews of Threads and The Day After. Kind of want to watch both but apprehensive, as someone who is 'impressionable'.

  • Don't do it mate I spent most of the early to mid 80's scared shitless. I lived in Birmingham for a while in 1985 directly on the flight path for incoming flights to Birmingham International Airport and I'd wake up to horrendously loud jet noise sometimes in the middle of the night convinced they'd dropped the nukes

  • Threads is still coming at me now, 3 days later. One review said there’s too much bleakness to take in at once, it creeps up on you over the coming days and they’re dead right. For now it’s the complete absence of warmth, compassion and grief that’s occurred to me and it’s making my skin itch. I keep having to re-watch scenes on YouTube to reconcile it in my mind.
