Dr. Strangelove

[I.P. Freley]

My precious bodily fluids agree wholeheartedly LOL

One of the best films ever made, and Stanley is my hero. Well, not my hero, but a genius (Eyes Wide Shut notwithstanding).

Kubric sucks, but Strangelove is a phenomenal movie!

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

"Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Some trivia: that was originally written as "...a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas...," but since the President had just been murdered there, the studio thought it was too controversal, so they re-dubbed it. (Look closely at Slim's mouth when he says "Shoot," and then "Vegas." It doesn't quite match the audio.)

>>>Kubric sucks<<<

In addition to Dr. Strangelove, we have (and in this I am only mentioning the true classics, and only the ones I have seen):

Lolita

2001: A Space Odyssey

A Clockwork Orange

Full Metal Jacket

The Shining

And on the basis of these six films, which are the bulk of his work, you came to the conclusion that he "sucks"? I guess I should ask what you consider to be an AVERAGE filmmaker.

The only one of his films that I've seen that I didn't like was "Eyes Wide Shut".

"the pilot" made me want to fly DC-8's

"ceiling zero" fun to watch

"dr. strangelove" ... "I've been to one world's fair, a picnic and a rodeo and that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard come over a set of headphones."

Waldo Pepper.

Decent plot, tragic yet triumphant, well acted, nice aircraft, one of the best air to air sequences ever filmed, it moved/flowed well, and it used one of my heros. Frank Price.


Proud to have known Frank,
