WTTW Channel 11 - Movie 11 - "Threads" (Opening, 1987)

Views: 1864

Here's the opening to a "Movie 11" presentation of Threads - a harrowing, deeply depressing look at the immediate and long-term effects of a full-scale nuclear war. This British film makes The Day After look like an episode of Gilligan's Island.

Just take your ol' Uncle Fuzz' advice - don't ever watch this movie - just don't. You'll feel better, trust me.

Features a quick bit of Fuzzy modification at the end, just for some morbid fun. ;-)
