"Get Premier Kissoff on the hotline!"

Frank, this title isn't very useful for searching the site.


Frank Rizzo - 2008-04-04

its very useful

John Belushi built his career by ripping off Scott's performance in this movie.

One of my grandfather's best friends emerged from this movie devastated and in tears; for her, seeing the end of the world as comic was not only frightening but morally hateful, and her impassioned response made a permanent impression on him.

The unlikelihood of anyone of college age having that sort of reaction today tells us something important, I suspect, about what's happened to our sensibilities since then - not only in relation to the idea of nuclear holocaust but also in relation to comedy. I think it's possible we've lost something.

"I think it's possible we've lost something."

I think its possible she was bat shit retarded.

5 starring my own submission to counter balance yours


snothouse - 2008-04-05

I felt that way when I saw the poster for "Epic Movie"


RomancingTrain - 2008-04-05

I Can't help but agree with Rizzo.

I'd guess the percentage of people who would react with moral outrage at Dr. Strangelove today is, in fact, less than it was in the mid 60s. I think it's possible we've gained something.

Both my parents saw this film when it was new in theaters.

Both felt it was brilliant and hilarious at the time.



Its well made political satire, some people just need to stick with fart-humor...(not that theres anything wrong with that)


The Great Hippo - 2008-04-05

You must be fucking kidding me.

5 stars to FURTHER counterbalance yours.

We HAVE lost something. We've lost the possibility of a planet-destroying nuclear conflict with the Soviet Union.

This is not a bad thing.

No college-age person is going to react that way about the movie because today it feels less immediate. The underlying message about war is timeless and no one with half a brain is going to miss that, but the story highlights a conflict which most college students are too young to remember. Of course they're not going to take it as seriously. That doesn't diminish the film at all, though. In some ways, it adds to it.

That fact that at one point in our history we were apparently willing and prepared to completely destroy human civilization over arguments that in two hundred years or so are going to seem as quaint and pointless as the Middle Ages' wars over religious doctrine do to us today is pretty goddamn funny, when you think about it.

I bet she went on to be one of those people wore straw boater hats and "Bomb Hanoi" buttons. Sometimes the bourgeois get their feelings hurt. Sometimes they need to be hurt. Never let me catch you 3 starring another Kubrick film again. Unless it's... you know.


Aubrey McFate - 2008-04-05

Fag.


Camonk - 2008-04-05

See that, guys? All your long-winded nonsense, and the whole response was perfectly summed up with three letters and a period.


Syd Midnight - 2008-04-06

You little turd. I grew up in the Cold War, and so did my parents. Laughter and tears are both defensive reactions against terror.

You are fucking ignorant. That she cried is totally understandable. That was half the point of the movie. That you're upset about the laughter means YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.

You neither laughed nor cried, and you didn't get it. The Cold War is beyond your comprehension. Can you at least get that?


CornOnTheCabre - 2008-07-02

its behind our comprehension because it was an incomprehensible joint act of national retardedness.

fag.


TheDevilsDictionary - 2008-04-05

She must not have gotten the point of this movie.


theSnake - 2008-04-05

Yuck, I 5 starred a Frank Rizzo.


Frank Rizzo - 2008-04-05

face it poetv, you all want to have my baby


Camonk - 2008-04-05

Even a blind pig finds an acorn, Frank. Don't let it go to your head.


Hodge - 2008-04-05

They do?


Syd Midnight - 2008-04-06

He was rootin' for truffles, and found one


Syd Midnight - 2008-04-06

My dad's view: Ignore everything except George C. Scott. In his opinion, this was a better acting tour de force than "Patton". His every facial tic and expression is a work of art here.


Cleaner82 - 2009-02-21

That, I can never do. But still true.


Charles - 2009-03-10

love this movie.
