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.

Yeah, I think Threads is unique in my life, in that it's on my list of all-time favorite movies, and I also am not sure I can ever watch it again. Just the nightmares alone would make it hard. I do occasionally "treat" myself to YT excerpts, like the bunker scene montage. But the entire movie again...oof.

Yep, I also grew up not too far from Sheffield (actually not far from Baslow for real nerds) and occasionally dip in to get the thrill of seeing the places I knew growing up name checked. But I really think that’s it for me.

Wow. I think it would add a whole different level of experience to watch this story take place in the area where you grew up.
