A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Excellent!
Last night Anne and I watched Testament, an '83 movie about the aftermath of a nuclear war. It was good but very grim, as you can imagine. Reminded us a lot of On the Beach with the people in a small California town that wasn't nuked gradually dying of radiation poisoning.
A movie far superior to The Day After. I'd rank it above Fail Safe too. Also, it was a TV version so it looked like they edited out some of the gross effect of radiation poisoning. It's the kind of movie that sticks in your mind....
Is Testament the one with the radiation-poisoned kid and the sink?
Yes. Although I think they darkened the screen for tv so we wouldn't see all ther grossness. Still, we saw enough.
All three of those movies had a profound on my life and vocation.
The Day After led me to walk across the country. Testament led me to become a professional peace activist, and Fail Safe was riveting.
Can't wait to see it!
It's SO SO GOOD. If it weren't for all the ghosts and walls running with blood I would want to live there and wear big poofy sleeves and high collars forever.
I realize they have nothing in common except the director, and the words aren't actually that similar, but every time I see Crimson Peak, I think it's talking about Pacific Rim.
