The music alone is nightmare-worthy

It's so very British that it begins with an apology that the film quality may not be up to that which you've come to expect, eh wot?

Damn, I shouldn't have watched this. I'm going to the beach and on two first dates this week, and just a few minutes of this film pushed me right back into the utter despair I felt when I first learned about nuclear weapons in middle school.
Best part: the weapons haven't gone away; most people have just forgotten about them. We still have more than enough nukes to extinguish our species in less time than it takes to deliver a pizza (well, some of us would live on for another generation or two, but no plants would grow and the kids would be butt-ugly). It's like everyone's sitting on a dynamite keg and talking of everything but.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2014-09-02 You WISH we'd die out. Sadly, thanks to data from nuclear testing, and the cleanups at places like Hiroshima and Chernobyl, it turns out fallout from nukes isn't quite as bad as previously thought. It's still shitty, and you'd probably want to die in the initial blast, but unless we were really thorough, life would still stumble on in a vastly polluted hellscape with enough other life forms to sustain a Morlock-like existence, but without the high technology or lots of Eloi to eat.

Old People - 2014-09-03 Ugh. I guess it depends on how much of the arsenal we use. The survival prospect makes me think of the jars full of Chernobyl fetuses- the "cyclops" etc- and extinction almost seems preferable.
Unless, of course, that eye shoots lasers...
