How did they even get customers? Didn't they end up in the future where black people eat white people?

Quite a racist and sexist scenes but I admit I still liked it.

That was far in the future. Still setting up a store near a nuked site may not be very smart.

The only part of this I'm not too fond of is that the plants on the bridge make the GGB look way smaller than it is, unless these plants have leaves the size of cars.

I mean, it also isn't nice to see my city in an apocalyptic scenario so maybe I'm a little biased.

Around the (former) Aral Sea is in some places very post-apocalyptic

A true man man wasteland. And it continues to grow and deteriate.

And for more drama one in which two now derelict ships obviously had been trying to huddle in one of the more tenacious remaining water puddles.

Soviet post-apocalyptic drama film "Dead Man's Letters" (1986) had a very convincing depiction of a desolate post-nuclear wasteland. I'd recommend to mute the sound - the video's uploader added awful music that is not from the original film.

Some other stills from that film:

Come to think of it, it is tragic that for this thread we not only have artwork from fiction but already way too much footage from reality.

It'd be interesting to see a Soviet-style version of Threads.

Just read an interesting article on he suburb of Varosha, in Cyprus. Before 1974, it was a thriving tourist resort on Cypress's east coast. But then geopolitics got in the way. A pro-Greek coup led to Turkish invasion and, eventually, the establishment of The republic of Northern Cypress. The city was caught in the no mans land, and was abandoned hours before it was occupied by Turkish troops. It is still off limits to the public, but every now and again someone sneaks in to photograph a city abandoned since 1974.

Some pictures;

DAMN! Eerie stuff. 43 years later and is getting reclaimed by Mother Nature.

If politic wise it was allowed, might be a good place to film movies on the subject matter.
