The Atomic Cafe Some of the nonsense propagated on the population back then was amazing.

Yes, very beautifully filmed, but they could've done without the Liberal/Progressive viewpoint in the narration. I guess they could have done it that way. Of course, it wouldn't be a wake-up call to humanity from the conservative/regressive perspective. It would be just another "business as usual" industrial infommercial.

I had nightmares about mushroom clouds over Vancouver. With me, it was over the Hartford, CT. area. I also remember hearing the sonic booms (occasional) and thinking they were 'the bomb' (shows ya how young I was at that time). ID: 1112916 ·

Yep, honest to goodness, army-type dog tags. I too, remember the sonic booms. However, where I lived it was frequent. In retrospect; Duck & Cover.

While I don't think I've ever seen H&M I did see Wizards in the theatre when it came out. I quite enjoyed it, so if I find the film somewhere later I will create a link to it. I'm also having trouble finding another favorite of mine... Quest for Fire. Who doesn't appreciate a good caveman movie? I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

Very good....poses a few good questions about our legal system. And the morals of those who enforce it. Please consider watching it. I have not tracked through the whole thing yet, so I hope none of the pieces are missing. But I intend to for sure. A good performance by Michael Douglas. And also Hal Holbrook, who has been ailing since a fractured hip and is not current able to do his 'Mark Twain Tonight' performances. The Star Chamber "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."
