The day after war games
I hope "they" aren't trying to tell us something -- the movies The Day After and War Games are both on TV tonight. Of course, even though I have it on DVD, I have to watch The Day After over War Games as I prefer sad endings ... but which is the better movie, empirically? Let's break down the data:
| Category | The Day After | War Games | Winner |
| Star | Steve Guttenberg | Matthew Broderick | DA |
| Co star | Non-crazy John Lithgow | Ally Sheedy | WG |
| Nostalgia | University of Kansas | Dial-up modems | DA |
| Realism | Persian Gulf skirmish unleashes nuclear bombs | Tic Tac Toe game saves the world | DA |
| Ending | Jason Robards cries in hellish KC landscape | Geek gets girl | Tie |
| Type | 1983 TV movie | 1983 theater movie | DA (for doing well with what it had) |
| Places I've actually been | University of Kansas | Ally Sheedy | Hey-oh! |
