  1. For the evening crowd: “Who would ever have believed that human beings would be stupid enough to blow themselves off the face of the Earth?”

  3. This evening's viewing: remastered version of the classic adaptation of Neville Shute's Cold War tale, On the Beach that the BFI were kind enough to send for review.

    Such an unusual & powerful film, and one of the saddest uses of Waltzing Matilda I've ever heard.

  5. The TV adaptation of #OnTheBeach really surprised me. Extremely bleak and uncompromising. Tense scenes exploring the dead world in radiation suits and through the periscope. But also, they managed to make the human level, those last days of connection, love relatable without relying on kitsch. Strong performance from #RachelWard. #ArmandAssante is weirdly stoic. Why do several people associate final enjoyment with driving cars and helicopters?

  7. “Back in the '80s, when I was searching out used vinyl of #OnTheBeach and #TimeFadesAway in Chicago record stores, those #records felt like guilty pleasures.

    #NeilYoung wasn't widely regarded as a top-drawer artist, like Springsteen or Dylan, although the triple-LP #Decade in 1977 made a pretty strong case.“

    ‘doubter.

    Here’s my copy of TFA I picked up in the late 70’s. Disappeared when I moved out and got it back in the 2010s minus the poster 😕☺️

  11. This is a fantastic scene from one of my favourite apocalypse films, On the Beach (1959), based on the novel by Nevil Shute. Great dialogue and some gentle, subtle acting from Fred Astaire. youtu.be/TMRZmZW5Uzc?si=UtQIHa #onthebeach #nevilshute
