I love Dr. Strangelove. I don't think it supports a left wing view of the world. Kubrick was an equal opportunity cynic.

[clintonh8r]

George C Scott and Sterling Hayden were especially good.

Just another photo-op staged by the left...

It's a great idea putting on a classic movie that anyone would want to see, to get a good turn-out. It's like asking people to support a cause by turning their headlights on in daylight and then commenting on the great response. Of course, I have no control over my headlights anymore, since they're on all the time.

Don't these people get tired of being wrong?

Here you go:

"A man could have himself a good time in Vegas with this".

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Kubrick is rolling over in his grave.

He was NEVER part of the idiot-left of Hollywood.

My favorite Kubrick quote is about Spielberg, whom he scorned, contrary to popular myth.

"Six million Jews died in WW2, and Spielberg makes a movie about the 600 who lived."

Unfortunately, with prompting from his friends, Stanley's slipping down the Memory Hole, too.

>>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" seems like a satirical time bomb planted ...set to detonate on Bush’s doctrine of unilateral warfare, anytime, anywhere. <<

The film's theme is about the Cold War and the absurdity of mutual deterrence, i.e. each side amassing an arsenal of nuclear weapons to deter the other from a first strike. I cannot fathom how this theme relates even remotely to the war against Saddam.

Of course, the people promoting this are reported to be of rather low intelligence, and I suppose capable of seeing connections where there are none. Yet, one would expect the article's author to have had enough education to drive him to do some research on the film, before subjecting the world to his stupidity.

Thanks!

George C Scott and Sterling Hayden were especially good.

I agree and I think it was Sterling Hayden's best performance by orders of magnitude, amplified by projection of his usual character into the situational casting (as was Slim Pickins, and Keenan Wynn for that matter).

[husky ed]

Your welcome.

My brother bought the film for me on lasor disk. Yes I have one of those. I think I'll pop it in and enjoy it today.

Watched Patton last night, and 1941 the night before last, maybe Kelly's Hero's this afternoon.

[AgThorn]

beat me to it!!!

[annyokie]

I love Patton, too. I have posted his D-Day speech here, the real one and the movie version.
