BFTD Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 I know, mate. Just the state of the Horrific Club Photos thread on its own. Chilling. 0 Quote
Todd_is_God Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 I get the point they are wanting to make, but the second half of Threads is a bit meh The Day After I feel handles the aftermath in a more entertaining (maybe not the right word but you know what I mean) fashion - it gets the point across equally well, but something is actually happening on screen to keep your attention. 0 Quote
BFTD Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 Such a shame that the IMDb forums were shut down. Quote Usually I dont post on IMDB with the many trolls perverts and indy film makers but this is getting out of hand. Anne Sellors AKA woman who urinates herself (just a CHARACTOR!!!) is my aunt and I cant bear to see some of the posts from here and 4 chans that school freinds have forwarded me on AIM. please STOP the following ridiculous rumors about auntie anne: 1, anne sellors is STILL ALIVE 2 - the role was to be titled differently or she would have chosen another I AM SURE 2a she does not urinate herself and never has, those pointing to the fact the title is 'urinates' and not 'urinated' need to GROW UP!! stop laying semantics 3/ NO she was not in anything else and esepcially NONE of the others I have seen mentioned eg emaneulle 2000, death race remake, LOTR deleted scene or vo for monkey island, those pictures are PHOTO SHOPS Needles to say I havent mentioned any of this to her yet. I HOPE I wont have to. Find someone else to talk about please. BTW Thanks guys this has really lowered my opinnion of humanity nice job. The internet needs to be regulated asap 1 Quote

Absolutely not the right word. Maybe you've forgotten, maybe you never knew, but the Beeb's original remit was to educate, inform and entertain. Threads was obviously produced in line with the first two of these. The idea that there was anything entertaining about the prospect of our extinction would have (and arguably, still should) been treated with incredulity. 10 hours ago, BFTD said: ^^^ blasphemy The Day After is maudlin shite. ^^^ This, in Spades. 4 Quote
renton Posted April 8, 2022 Posted April 8, 2022 Would also recommend "Where The Wind Blows" on the watch once and never again stakes. It's more like a sickeningly slow turn of a knife in the stomach kind of film. 5 Quote

Paul Kersey Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 I must have been around 9 or 10 when Threads was first shown. My dad let me watch it and it scared the bejesus out of me. I couldn't sleep that night, every noise from outside sounded like a Soviet attack. I watched it again on DVD around 10 years ago and it hasn't lost any of its power. Where the Wind Blows is also pretty harrowing, particularly as it starts out as a cheerful animation. 0 Quote

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Hilarious. Can't wait for the sequel. 0 Quote
pub car king Posted October 9 Posted October 9 It's on now on BBC 4 for those that haven't had the the experience. It's only about the third or fourth time it's been aired. 0 Quote
Lurkst Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) Watched it when it was released as a 15 year old, and yes absolutely terrifying viewing at a time when it seemed highly possible it would happen. It didn't help that amid the ensuing national panic the Kilmarnock Standard published a list of people who they believed would be sent to the council's nuclear bunker, and my old man was one of them (which he had no clue about!) About the same time they showed The War Game for the first time (made in the 1960s but deemed unbroadcastable) and I think I found it even more harrowing, possibly due to the kitchen sink style. The Day After was like an episode of Dallas in comparison. Edited October 9 by Lurkst 1 Quote
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Now on the iPlayer for thirty days if anyone fancies it. Excellent film. 0 Quote

Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The message of Threads is, you don't want to "survive" a nuclear war. 2 Quote

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 10 Posted October 10 No sorry this has f**ked me. How the f**k did anyone in the 80s manage to get out of bed in the morning with the threat of this hanging over them? 0 Quote
