Gen X is sick of your bullshit

After posting this I watched Threads again.
First time in years.

It was still extremely creepy - I'd forgotten how it drew you into individual characters' lives. But almost as much as that it was a snapshot of my childhood. Eighties cars and attitudes, casual sexism and snobbery. I have a tendency to think things haven't changed much, because the change happened slowly all around me. Simple things like old cars and telephones and pubs really bring it home.

And no, I didn't watch Life on Mars

I also watched.

Horrid. It took me a couple days to make my way through it. I found it very upsetting. Agonizing. I kept waiting for the time to accelerate. The anticipation was very unpleasant.

I can't really say thanks, only that I'm glad it's over.
