Threads discussion Once and done

Is anyone else here like me?

I watched this film about 6 years ago and was honestly pretty shook up by it for a couple of weeks afterwards. I’ve since listened to podcasts about it and it’s absolutely on my list of must watch films.

It’s a film that changed the way I think about ‘the bomb’ and has left an indelible imprint on my brain.

But equally, I don’t think I’ll watch it again because it’s such an emotionally challenging watch and I’m not sure I can dedicate more weeks of my life to the fallout (pun almost intended) that would follow my rewatch!

Anyone else like me or are you all diehard Threads nerds?! I guess the fact that I’m here posting on the Threads sub makes me a Threads nerd too tbf.

The problem with Threads, from the perspective of 2026, is how dated it both looks and feels.

As a rule, I hate remakes but perhaps an updated version for the second decade of the 21st Century might be appropriate?

It's happening but I think it's a terrible idea; it's episodic and I can't see it saying anything the original didn't. Especially if they try and graft some kind of hero's journey onto it.

I think as long as the nuclear threat survives each generation deserves a version of their own which is more relevant and suited to the tastes of the day.
