getting a dvd release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Excellent! I've only seen a dodgy VHS rip of it :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't it ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
=] bare in mind i got this information from my local dodgy inshops dvd/video retailer, 25 for 2 quid sort of thing cheers for the link sir! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it good or just over-hyped by being half remembered? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh what the hell? When was that released? DAMMIT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Well, it was worth posting as it's one of those things I always meant to see, but haven't yet. Just ordered my copy. Whilst on Play.com I came across . Very tempting... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh god. That's on my wishlist. |
||||||||

Some of the episode titles are, in retrospect, rather suggestive: Wunderpants Lucky Lips Without My Pants Lighthouse Blues Little Squirt Sloppy Jalopy Grandma's Gifts Quivering Heap Little Black Balls Viking Book Of Love The Whirling Derfish Toy Love The Tears Of Innocence The Icecream Man Cometh All actual episode titles. I think someone was having a bit of a laugh when naming them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's very good. although be sure to have something ready to watch to make you laugh afterwards, because it'll feel like someone has repeatedly hit you in the face with a sack full of bricks. |

I think it came out august last year. |
||||||||
|

ordered Ceri - they are all from short stories by paul jennings, and they are a lot better than the telly versions, cleverer and wierder and when I was about ten it was the best thing I could imagine, even if i didnt get what a quivering heap was |

I was a bit scared of nuclear war as a kid. I once ask my dad if the world was going to get blown up and he shrugged and said "Maybe.". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does he say now about nuclear war? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think everybody has just forgotten about it now. He doesn't really talk about politics much apart from calling politicians "twats". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does he call twats politicians too? my dad talks nothing of war, and everything about women half his age. nuclear war registers nowhere on his radar these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Threads was great. scared the hell out of me when i saw it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not as bad as the official government "protect and survive" videos though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's like seeing your mom get run over by a ridiculously long line of slow moving traffic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent seen any of that stuff, ive heard the voiceover stuff by that narrator guy. sounds cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
round the twist: fucking hell, takes me back.. would'nt mind seeing "round the bend" again, with that doc croc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, yes. you have the big explosion, the whole world bursts into flame and it's all incredibly terrible and you're thinking "jeeeesus christ!".. and then you still have a good hour or so of film to go. and it just gets worse and worse! HURRAAAY!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least it ends on an up note though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha ha oh god.. that reminds me, the only thing that kind of irked me is somewhere in the last twenty minutes or so.. .. when they're showing this old tape to a class of little children on a barely working VCR and television - I was kind of amazed to see they had some form of electricity. although it could come from an old battery, I suppose. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the benefits of nuclear holocuast is that electrical items "just work" without being plugged in. Like some apocalyptic 80s energy wi-fi system. The downside being, of course, the enormous loss of life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are people here who will read that, believe it, then go away elsewhere and repeat it, only to look like twats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, would have, had I not posted that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and because of that - the smell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in the post-nuke world you will grill a hot dog by dipping it into your water supply. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just take a bite out of your own arm, man! look at that, the flesh just falls off the bone! |
||||||||

never seen or heard of threads... a little too young for that perhaps? as for round the twist. haha what a brilliant masterpiece that show was : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The girl that plays the lead girl in this movie isn't very hot. |
||||||||

Threads was unbearable to watch when I was a child. It was enough that I thought my parents were going to perish in a horrific car crash each and every time they left the house, never mind nuclear war. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
incredibly grim film, but very well made. qrter's totally right, you need something to cheer up on afterwards. it's just downhill into oblivion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kids should be spared nuclear holocaust films. Its really too much to take in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They couldn't make a film like that now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the heads-up on this. i've never seen/heard of it before looking forward-> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Threads is not something to look forward to, are you crazy? You must be. Watch it with someone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Just watched my dvd copy. Fuck me, that was bleak. I can only begin to imagine how scary it must have been when it first came out and the possibility of it happening was a daily reality. Makes "When the Wind Blows" (Raymond Briggs' anti-nuclear book) look like Winnie the Pooh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you watch it one go? I think I had to make stops along the way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I paused it when the phone went and had to wait for a minute or two after the phonecall before resuming it. I'm so glad I watched it without my gf, she'd have been in tears. The ending is so rough too. What makes it even more harrowing is when you read the credits and see how many Doctors and Professors were consulted in the making of it. It's probably exactly the sort of thing that would happen in that kind of "end of the world" situation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you already get that "THIS IS REAL"-feeling because of the little facts popping up now and then during the film. I just think it's fantastic that they showed the aftermath. it just grinds on and on AND ON.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What makes you think the possibility of it happening isn't a daily reality? |
