Dr. Strangelove


I just watched this movie for the first time. Despite the obvious antimilitary bent, I thought it was quite thought provoking and darkly funny.

Any of you seen this movie? I understand it's a classic.

Yup. It is a classic. And very funny.

I don't know, I think it pollutes my essence.

I didn't really understand it when I watched it, and I had to write a paper on it, and all the sources I could find on it were about how many symbols of the homosexual are in it. I was quite disturbed and haven't watched it since. That was 4 years ago though...

I had to laugh about the Flourinated water part... I mean... I know people who think that way... As I recall, Arbi's one of em... :P

Hee hee... I thought it was pretty thought provoking, the concept of an ultimate Doomsday weapon, the human error factor in keeping and maintaining a nuclear arsenal and how the tactic of threatening someone with utter annihilation has its downsides...

The part about the president and the russian dictator (Kiss-off) and their exchanges over the phone were very funny too...

Oh and I feel sorry for you, Glum. Sounds like someone had their own pet philosophies and gay worldview and were trying to foist them off onto you.

The only part I liked was when the guy was riding the bomb.  I prefer Soylent Green when it comes to disturbed movies.  You can't go wrong with Filthy Apes eating Soylent Green.
