Hey, I complain myself about things I don't like, so no worries. I just wanted to offer up a different view. I know I am in the minority on the documentaries, I just wanted Bruce to know to keep programming to my narrow, outlier demographic. :)

As for the Atomic Cafe, I thought it would have been a good film to show in 2002 or 2003. It was made up in large parts of government and military films on the topic of nuclear warfare. One of the hig points was the absolutely asurd Duck and Cover cartoon. Wikipedia has a good writeup on it.

I have it on DVD but it is in storage at the moment and my memory is a bit fuzzy. But it was shown at SF9 and there was one educational film that talked about how the shower was more dangerous than being around nuclear material and they had footage of a somewhat plump, hairy middle aged man taking a shower and suddenly slipping and falling. I recall someone used that to some success in the costume contest that year, though I don't recall if he won or not.
