    Now that is a movie that doesn't get mentioned to much any more. The deserted streets as the crew tries to find out if there are survivors at the transmitting station in the US. Only to discover its the wind pushing a window blind across a transmitter key. Then to wait it out in Australia for the bitter end that they can't avoid.

      Its a gift and a curse,being old,and remembering a LOT of stuff. I might like to NOT remember the cold war,because I kind of know where our current mess might lead.
      It was kind of a theme back then.

You are fortunate to come from a more enlightened land). .. .
        Isn't that the truth. If not the hero then it's a very selective presentation of how we perceive a historical event or period. Sadly though it's not just our education system it's our culture as well. People are more concerned with say Snookie and Jersey shore for instance than being historically correct. I think what makes it so bad is it's worse in some areas than in others in the US. Sometimes due to religious influences, sometimes due to economic influences, sometimes due to social influences and sometimes to multiple combinations. What works to combat it in one area fails in another area as the mitigating causes are different.

        True but I sort of liked all the big bug & radiated Dionosaur movies that it inspired. Could do without all the paranoia that went with it though. Makes me wonder if the Trump effect will not bleed into a new form of McCarthyism of some sort.

          I liked all the movies,"Them",the one with giant ants,the incredible shrinking man,the giant woman one,the whole invasion from outer space thing,the Nuke satires like Dr Strange love ,and also if you are old enough,Howdy Doody. That left an impression on my young mind.


          I got a howdy Doody doll for Christmas once,and it had instructions on how to throw your voice.

            Advertising and reality shows are how we got to this point. People voted for a character they saw in a boardroom, flanked by his grown offspring, on a reality show. Now we're being propaganda'd about nuclear stuff while the health insurance mess gets forgotten.

              If you think this situation would've played out much differently without Trump, boy, do I got some news and history for you. The Democrats are almost unified with the Republicans and Trump over North Korea. The media has been priming the U.S. public for a war on thr peninsula for decades. North Korea's entire posture against the U.S. has been defensive! Why shouldn't they be? The U.S. was the primary aggressor in the 1951 war and annihilated five million Koreans. They see what the U.S. machine does to states that refuse to uphold or resist U.S. Imperialism. The DPRK has been placed under sanctions that have caused famine. And the news constantly feeds us racist imagery of this little crazy Korean man.

              This rhetoric isn't new with Trump. This is business as usual. Also, this probably has more than a little to do with AmeriKKKa's interest.

                This is one of my all time favorite sci-fi movies.

                "Make me a sergeant and give me the booze!"

                Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                    They used to talk about that one when I entered the military in 78. The Neutron bomb and how it would wipe out people and leave the infrastructure basically in place.

                            President Shitlips refused to say "The Nazis are bad" in Charlottesville. Fucking white supremacist driving a car into a crowd is the fault of both sides, and Obama, and then he went into brag mode.

                            Fuck his ass with a straight razor.

                              I was waiting to make a farmer's market run until he spoke, and when he got done, it was all "same old, same old", and I got the creeps when he said he loved everyone.
