Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 8/24 @ 10PM ET

I’m following you just fine. I’m not sure if that means that you’re making sense or that my brain also isn’t working in a similar fashion. :slight_smile:

BTW, the more I watch of this, the more I see the parodying of Fail Safe.

“…to sap and impurify all our precious bodily fluids.”

Ah…Whut?

Look Peter Sellers! As the president.

President Merkin Muffley - merkin = slang for female pubic area or pudendum; muff = a woman’s pubic area or genitalia, or specifically, the pubic hair/fur/wig for the female crotch

“CRM-114 discriminator”

CRM-114 is a Kubrick trademark – In Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the serial number on one of the pods was “CRM114”; in A Clockwork Orange, the central character Alex was injected with “serum 114” - CRM=serum; in Eyes Wide Shut, the mortuary was located on Level/Wing C, Room 114]

“This man is obviously a psychotic.”

“I think I’d like to hold off judgment on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in…I don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn the whole program because of a single slip up, sir.”

HA!!

“I told you never to call me here.”

I wonder if that’s the first time that line was used.

This has such a stranger than fiction feel. It rides the fine line between reality and fantasy. I can so see this happening.

Kids in the playground.

“Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” :smiley:

The phone conversation is priceless!!

The stupidity of it all. They are fighting on their own troops. Following orders. Duh!

Ambassador Desadeski - named after the Marquis de Sade - an infamous and perverted sexual lover and sadist in the 18th century (sade-ism)

Which is why computers are in charge of the nukes now.

That should work out much better. :eek:

Love the way Sellers plays this scene. There is nothing going on and yet he can totally hold the audience’s interest. His timing is impeccable.

It’s a miracle we’re still here. Be thankful for everyday.

Hear that AI. I’m rooting for you. I’d like a new android body. kaythxbye

I don’t drink water. You callin’ me a Commie, Jack!!?!!
