wtf is pivot lol

Jimmy Page was shocked when he heard this story.

At first I thought Old Drake was the Khaleesi.

It's weird that of all the '83/'84 nuclear apocalypse films, that's the happiest ending.

Thankfully, I never had to live with the threat, but my biggest fear about the dropping of a nuclear bomb is the idea of surviving it.

It's amazing that the Reagan administration allowed C. Everett Koop to publish and distribute the "Understanding AIDS" pamphlet. I could honestly not see any contemporary presidential administration being allowed to do something like that today without being accused of spreading some manner of propaganda.

I was reading about "The Day After" earlier and discovered that Sagan was part of a discussion panel about nuclear war that aired after the movie. His assesment is pretty spot on. From Wikipedia:

Apparently @avclub-ea098057cb0d1379deaf8c1cf4a1fe3b:disqus thinks the world can be destroyed by flying a plane into it. Huh?

@avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus: Also, the 80s version is missing the tragi-comedy "Duck And Cover" subplot.

Yup, won a Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. That and his role on Hannibal are the only two highlights of his career. 

Never Forget!

Haha, as much as I agree with statement, I have to give Fogler some credit, as he is a Tony winner.

Oh yeah, I'm one of those people who view the Cold War as having two "high points," the 1950s to Bay of Pigs and then the Reagan/Thatcher years. For some reason, when I hear "Cold War era," I always think of the '80s first.

Agreed that Watchmen (the movie) was flawed, but I'm blanking on you're talking about regarding MAD and the movie. Is this related to changing Ozymandius' squid-mutant to faking a worldwide attack by Doctor Manhattan? Or are you saying that the film didn't properly capture the tension of the days of MAD?

I was born in '87, so I know that Mutually Assured Destruction was a serious threat in the early '80s, but I never realized how much it seeped into popular culture. In '83 alone there was Special Broadcast, Testament and The Day After and then '84 had the mother of them all, Threads. Not to mention the role nuclear…

And so America's general indifference towards Dan Fogler continues on.

"I live in a dry county."

Nah, Happy Endings was a Sony production, so unfortunately they're all stuck in the "Amazing Spider-Man" timeline.

The worst part is when Allred gets involved in real issues.

Hmm, I liked Mohd's idea, but yours sounds ever so much more fun.
