How about this for an IMDB biography for one of the actors[^]? She must have been so proud of her performance that she immediately retired!

Lol
There were a lot of locals who were not actors given parts in it.
I will say that having visited Sheffield I am surprised the film-makers did not restore the city after turning the place into a scene of post-apocalyptic desolation.

And then this[^] came out and after reading I didn't feel so bad.

I never saw this but did hear about it so thanks for the link, I'll try to watch it soon.
In reality, I really don't think we're any further from the threat of nuclear war; only the players have changed.

The problem of nuclear attach is different now (at least for the USA.) In the 80's it was a government that you could target (more or less) but now if a terrorist group used one we do not have a distinct retaliation location.

Yes, absolutely.

"In Europe and in America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria..."
It reminds me of this song which is from these years. A really great one that I still have pleasure to listen to.
Women are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen; men are also composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but in such proportions that force respect.

Yep, it was a lot different, and I had a great job designing and managing the development of a bunch of factory and field test equipment to diagnose and certify the newest Trident D-5 SLICBM for the US Navy. That was in 1983, and Special Bulletin[^] was one of the scariest things I'd ever seen. Though the broadcast was interrupted every ten minutes to remind viewers that it was only fiction, people still panicked and called TV stations airing it, as well as emergency services. It was a scary time, and there was a commie under every rock. In fact, in my line of work, you could spot the Soviet spies, and their FBI watchers in the airports we frequented; they really were everywhere. 
Will Rogers never met me.

In order to add my bit to preventing as many of us as possible from wasting any time coding, I accidentally thought of a new word game last night - (possibly related to my getting on wrong train and watching my connection pull out of the station.)
It's an adaption of anagrams, but more restrictive. Find a word that can have it's letters rearranged into another word. One-word to One-word only. Ideally, the two can be made to actually mean something when juxtaposed (with such awful punning going on in a supposedly KSS forum, that should be easy)
Examples:
<br />
over rove - wander too far<br />
mesh hems - undergarment trim<br />
rose sore - result of mishandling aforementioned flower<br />
link kiln - new name for SourceForge<br />
kale leak - leafy losses at vegetable market<br />
sate seat - place to park your carcass when overeating<br />
dare read, dear - challenge a loved one to do some self improvement<br />
tame mate - dull lover<br />
bare bear<br />
One may play this by dumping an outburst at any time. You may wish to disavow the consequences.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
