I can’t tell you how many creative approaches I’ve found that were inspired by things I saw in films. And I just develop banking platforms and large-scale real-time online transaction processing systems.
Creativity begets creativity.
Creativity begets creativity.

I watched it then and even have it on dvd now.
Talking to people then and even years later many agreed that the scene that chilled them was watching the US missiles launching out of their silos in fields, and the visual of them leaping through the sky over the local townsfolk.

Tonight in 1983, more than 100 million Americans saw multiple thermonuclear weapons destroy Kansas City, Missouri, in “The Day After” on ABC. A.C.
