antimatterXXXIII:

If the morons at WMG had half a brain between them, they'd put a link to the song (or movie) that has their drawers in a wad for people who might want to buy it.

With their idiocy, they have guaranteed that I won't be purchasing music from them, that's for sure.

at least he lost Gregory Peck's gruesome bow tie...

[ddd1953]

fantastic soundtrack by Christopher Gordon!

[ddd1953]

WMG is bad enought but EMI? I´ve dealt with them and they´ve always been great about students using music, IF they ask first!

Dinosaurs, all of them. The internet will crush them.

@2242bzo Eh you don't mind not having computers then with their microchips. Why? Because Taiwan produces a hell of lot of them; anyway surrendering to a ruthless totalitarian state that China is, is beyond contempt. The Munich Crisis of 1938 comes to mind and we know where that ended up don't we.

[Professor6871]

@michguff Of course the actors will do just that and not accept the Warners fat cheques from.

@KiwiTomCrawford Cose it got nuked and that would be the reality not in this fantasy. For goodness sake China would probably lob a couple of them at Australian cities, if such a nuclear war was to happen. Its relatively nearer than the US and Australia has strong military ties with the US.

On the Beach is book of its time a time before ballistic missiles or wide scale nuclear proliferation, which has made nowhere safe from the direct effects of such a war.

@MsHolly30 Well obviously for the Northern Hemisphere it already has come the apocalypse hasn't? Down there their just waiting for it coming as it will, with the radioative cloud.

[1814Brandan]

Will they ever cast an age-appropriate Moira who is also blonde?

[hmmmmmmmmm2]

Hey SocratesTheGadfly and Durhandoni80 --- I didn't write the story... I'm just explaining what was written in the novel, but only barely skimmed over in the film. You all need to be complaining to Nevil Shute -- he wrote it.

[Durhandoni80]

@hmmmmmmmmm2 Maybe, but why the train is empty. it´s state of emergency.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@hmmmmmmmmm2 you still need a power source to generate heat to boil water to make steam. fossil fuels includes coal and australia has an abundance of coal but it is not equally distributed across the continent and the production of coal requires man power to control the machines that move the coal.
