Apparently you can now watch Wargames(1983) for free on youtube. This isn't some random channel, it's the official YouTube movies thing. https://youtu.be/utkrhQNSjac?si=BPPp3ECywNNcPLwe #youtube #freemovie #movie #wargames

@ColinHaynes@mastodon.scot It's interesting how the general public's idea of a #GlobalThermonuclearWar, rooted in fiction, has changed. #OnTheBeach is definitely an example of the idea of MAD, and #TomLehrer's "We'll all go together when we go!", that was present right up through #WarGames in 1983. Then in 1984 with #TheTerminator the idea returned that with just enough 'duck and cover!' we might survive a thing that in reality we could not. (They had to make the T-1000 in #TerminatorGenisys ridiculously pause to do banter with its target in order to make it evadable by a human. Killing machines would kill the species stone dead very effectively.) #USMovies #history #sociology
