If I saw those in the sky, hell I'd be terrified

Cynthia: What's going on?
Joe Huxley: Those are Minuteman missiles!
Cynthia: Like a test, sort of... like a warning?
Joe Huxley: [shakes his head, staring at the missiles in awe and disbelief] They're on their way to Russia. They take about thirty minutes to reach their target.
Aldo: So do theirs, right?

The Day After. Good flick, realistic too I'd say.

You guys recall the "new" Twilight Zone they had back in the 80s?(not that movie there was also a TV show for a bit) I saw one episode where this woman bought this device(I cant recall what it was it has been 20 years since I saw it) anyway she dicovers that it can stop time for all but her and thought the episode she uses it a few times for this or that.Anyway at the very end of the episode the old Dooms Day whistle starts a blowin so the woman and her family all huddel together and the woman uses the device to stop time just as the warhead was to go off. Of ocurse the Twilight Zone part of it is in effect it is still the end of the world for the woman even though she stopped it as now she is all alone in the time stopped second of Dooms Day world.Makes you think.

Yeah, I do remember that episode!

Kind of terrifying because the scene ends without telling what she will do.

I got to see quite a bunch of launch test when I was living in SB, CA. At night looks pretty nice but as someone say is kind of an awkward feeling, I think they were testing stuff for the Stars Wars Project or so, it was back in 2002, I believe.
