The movie portrays an archetypal US-Soviet relation, in which one misunderstanding after another escalates the crisis and intensity of war between the two.

Although the militaristic theme is present (it would be hard pressed to such a movie without), the movie focuses more on the individual and personal reactions, centering around the crew of a B-52 bomber and the commanding General of a C&C E-4 craft as they come to grips with what transpired and evaluate their morality and conscience of what they are about to do. Also featured is some power struggle between members of the US cabinet and military as parties ponder the classic question of whether there could ever a victor in such a war, or that one should cut their losses and accept a compromise.

In other words, it has all one could possibly want in a cold war apocalyptic movie and has made it’s way the list of my all time favorite movies.

Watched my first Indiana Jones movie today and I loved it. Indiana Jones reminds me the Daniel Jackson character in the Stargate series, which is one of my favorite shows/TV series. I’m not sure how I’ve missed out on watching all of the Indiana Jones movies my entire life, but I’m going to have to land my hands on them.

Don’t let its name fool you, it’s more than just a geek show. I’ve been repeatedly watching it ever since I came across it and the jokes never get old. It is that good. I wouldn’t say it is my favorite TV show, because first place would be a tough fight between this and The IT Crowd. I’m not quite sure why I enjoy watching shows that sometimes tend to seem like parodies of my life, but I guarantee that you won’t walk away from this one disappointed. There are episodes on the official site linked above that you could watch episodes if you’re in the US but if you’re outside, I’m sure it’s still pretty easily obtainable through your favorite distribution channel.
