On the Beach

[days_unfolding]

New on my classic movie list, my mom and I watched On the Beach last night. I'm not going to review it yet because ravengirl discussed seeing some of the same movies at the same time and reviewing them, but I was dubious about the starting premise that everyone was wiped off the face of the earth during a nuclear war except for one town in Australia and some men in a submarine. So I went online and found some sites that said yes, some people even in the Northern Hemisphere would survive a global nuclear war, although I sincerely hope that people never have to validate that assumption. Then I read about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Then I went to sleep and dreamed about nuclear war all night. When I got up, I made my bed, but decided to lie down on top of it "for another five minutes" -- and slept for another three hours. I have to get cracking on a bunch of stuff to do today.

Yes, I watched The Killers, and I'm going to watch the Philadelphia Story this coming week. No pressure -;)

ha! I've one-upped you! I own The Philadelphia Story AND just watched it again yesterday! It was a favorite childhood movie, however, I have qualms about it now, so a review is forthcoming!

Ha! You've gotten ahead of me! I'm going to watch it sometime between Monday and Wednesday.
