"Put down that wrench!"

I've read about Threads before, and while I have a somewhat morbid appreciation of all things nuclear war (I once spent an evening when I should have been working on some inconsequential undergraduate coursework or other reading interviews with survivors of the Japanese bombings instead, and articles on the effects of increasing radiation poisoning are always fascinating), I think the soap-opera social grounding that probably makes it as a film would annoy me far too much.

(It's also interesting to read about the censorship troubles making earlier films like The War Game and The Day After.)
