Well, here's the good news. I've been fretting for days that my diet was killing me after watching Planeat but
I can relax about that because I am going to killed by a crazy with a nuclear arsenal.
So says Countdown to Zero, a powerful documentary which supports the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament.
And its got major supporters in statesmen of the calibre of Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter and even good old Tony Blair.
But for a movie under the banner of that wonderful film distributor Dogwoof, I was surprised it lacked some quality questions.
For example, what are the chances that the likes of Pakistan and North Korea would buy into a 'zero weapons' campaign? And if they didn't, wouldn't it be potentially damaging to world security for others to go for unilateral disarmament?
Oh dear, guess who studied International Relations as part of his degree which was taken at the height of the Cold War?
Why has the argument over fears of reprisal suddenly become redundant? I don't know because Countdown To Zero did not ask.
The documentary begins with JFK's famous phrase: "Every man woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accidents or miscalculation or by madness.''
And that is followed for 90 minutes by evidence which would make anyone scared beyond their wits.
Much of the narration of Lucy Walker's film is done by Valerie Palme Wilson, the CIA undercover operative who I only recently saw being portrayed by Naomi Watts in that excellent movie Fair Game.
She told how Osama and his bunch of crazies had made a deal for a nuclear weapon in the 1990s but were scammed.
Even more perturbing, apparently, is the amount of uranium just lying around the old Soviet Union, ready for any old lag who wants to do a dodgy deal with terrorists.
If you don't worry about mad folk blowing us up, there is, apparently, always a chance that we could be obliterated by accident.
Countdown to Zero catalogues some mind-blowing near misses over the last 30 years.
The quality of folk interviewed in the film was very impressive.
And, to be fair, there was hardly a single word which did not resonate with me, as a human being.
But it is flawed because it doesn't examine the arguments of those in favour of nuclear arms.
Just putting one side of the story left a sense that it was a particularly well made propaganda exercise and thus cannot be worth more than 7/10.
I watched Countdown To Zero on DVD preview. It is opening a Global Zero summit in London on June 21 and the Q & A following will be broadcast to 80 cinemas across the UK.
It is released nationwide on June 24.
