I'm watching a movie/miniseries called "Threads". It's absolutely phenomenal. It is set in Sheffield, England and was made around 1984. The scary thing is just how timely and topical it is, even though a lot of the technology in the show is dated, the overall tone and message is eerily familiar after the spring of this year and some of the other things bandied about on the world stage.

Read the IMDB user comments for a good summation of it. And you can d/l it here if you have BitTorrent.
