You mean unlike "Titanic"?

Oh gosh, I really liked Titanic!

I don't think it was ever intended to serve as a documentary.

Now, being you're a Piper driver, I'd say that that more notably
demonstrates your hopelessness :~)

Ouch! :-)

Actually, I have nothing against high-winged Cessnas, and fully expect
to own one some day, when I am old, gray, feeble, partially blind,
incontinent, dim-witted, and no longer able to nimbly hop up on the
wing of my aircraft...

If anything, that makes me more doubtful that I'll go see it. I just don't
know if I could take it; I'm upset enough about 9/11 as it is.

This country could use a swift, sharp, painful reminder of what we're
fight against, IMHO.

No, Jay, "Threads" was just plain terrifying. I was depressed for weeks
afterwards. "The Day After" was hoky by comparison. The only other movie
that's left me that depressed was "The Pawnbroker".

Part of the thing that made 'Threads' so effective was the attention to
detail (well, as much as you can give given the film's incredibly low
budget).

When I watched it all the way through (relatively recently), I was still
shaking after the initial strike. Just little things like there being a
significant delay between the flash from the strike on the former RAF
Finningley (now an airline/GA airfield) and the blast/sound arriving in
Sheffield that made it feel so much more real than the ridiculous scenes
in 'The Day After'. The melting milkbottle scene is one I will never
forget.

Well, my Cessna was a real airplane. It didn't have a training wheel!

The whole film seemed to me to be about sacrifice--how terrible and noble
it is to give one's life for a cause.

Hmmm...many rabid Nazis gave up their lives for a "cause". I doubt that
would qualify as "noble".

That is what we call perversion, I believe--when human drives are put to
evil purposes.

I don't need any reminder. I despise those filthy sons of bitches.

Least a reminder come in the form of something worse.
