That's how I feel knowing Google hasn't rolled out it's dumb AI search bar replacement in Switzerland... yet.

neutral · AI labelView post →From the 1950s onward, Peck was a persistent advocate for nuclear disarmament and a worldwide ban on nuclear weapons, starring in the film On the Beach (1959) to raise awareness. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969 for his humanitarian efforts and commitment to social causes. /9

neutral · AI labelView post →The 1959 sci fi movie On The Beach. Based on the book of the same name by Nevil Shute.
neutral · AI labelView post →Definitely a top ten TV movie, another Matheson gem. My choice for best TV movie would probably be either the PBS version of "The Lathe of Heaven" or the original Kolchak movie "The Night Stalker". One of the oddest TV movies is also a Dennis Weaver film, "Terror on the Beach". Obscure now.

neutral · AI labelView post →Last night's film, ON THE BEACH (1959) Stunning. Still incredibly powerful but one sweet aspect is how, back in 1959, people were portrayed as incredibly orderly, well behaved and dignified when facing their imminent mass extinction, obviously not anticipating the pasta shortage riots of 2020.
positive · AI labelView post →On the Beach feels like this (novel and any adaptation). Mauvais Sang is probably the best film I've seen that has this feeling (apocalypse is a very dangerous STD AIDS allegory). Melancholia, kind of. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse has this as a theme and its very nihilistic answer is horrifying

Steve Zani and Kevin Meaux look at literary portrayals of plagues and Lucio Fulci's zombie films.

positive · AI labelView post →I thought to watch something not recorded by the TiVo to take a break from trying to clear some recording space. So I looked at what was on the various channels live. There was a 1959 #GregoryPeck movie, set in Australia, post-war, with submarines. It was called On The Beach. I was expecting some technicolour romp with lush South Pacific scenery. Perhaps some surfing or swimming or something. How wrong I was! It's a black-and-white post-apocalyptic tale of how Australia is the last place on…
