I was originally going to post this other article I wrote. Imagine if Threads was made in the early 1950s, it would be this civil defense flick. I wrote a completely revised timeline. Thank god I didn't. Imagine the horror when they discover the movies SEVENTEEN years old. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth, man!

I intended this article to be a spoof of "I hate everything" movie critics. I didn't like the movie that much (it was somewhat entertaining, but forgettable) but this piece merely amplifies my feelings about it many times over. I DO think the attacks on this movie by some people are a bit to much (there's always Battlefield Earth), and that I could have posted this somewhere else. And if it doesn't belong here... well, it can just be deleted. I put the article on my website, anyway.

I also recogize the main actors very well (I've also seen quite a few of them) I was merely spoofing the lack of characterization.
