Only people who’ve seen Doctor Strangelove will get this reference: But for some reason I can picture GL riding a big ol’ bomb labeled Revenge of the Sith out the bottom of a WWII era bomber (CGI, of course), whipping it with his cowboy hat, going “Eeeeee haaawww! Eeeeee haaaaawww!!” as he falls to oblivion on an unsuspecting fan base.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

It's kinda funny because I used to take part in the Fark.com Photoshop contests and, a couple of years ago, I did one with this very theme in mind. It was a USA Today stat graphic about a satellite and it showed where it's orbit has taken it. I took the image of the satellite and added Slim Pickens (I think that's who it was, right?) on top of it just ridin' away. I loved it. Got some nice comments about it as well. I think I've still got it somewhere.

LOL...yes, that was his name. Great film. Very subtle (I doubt many kids today would "get it", Chaltab excluded of course).

Yeah, a truly great film that everyone should watch, especially these days, but I agree that most would not *get* it...

Peter Sellers was truly great in that movie.

yep he was. I can sorta see why you say that about revenge of the sith too considering the way strangelove ended. BTW, i loved the arm that has a mind of its own thing in strangelove.

the arm bit was classic. I was really impressed by the three different accents Sellers used, He really sounds English, German and American. George C. Scott was also very good.

Peter Sellers is awesome in that movie! James Earl Jones was in that movie, as a crew member on the plane.

The President: "How are you feeling Dimitri? You feel fine. Well that's nice. Yes I feel fine as well. Yes I agree it's great to be fine."

I agree that most kids today probably wouldn't *get* it. I did when I first saw it when I was in high school a couple years ago.

"Dmitri, you know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the Bomb... The *Bomb*, Dmitri... The *hydrogen* bomb!... Well now, what happened is... ah... one of our base commanders, he had a sort of... well, he went a little funny in the head... you know... just a little... funny. And, ah... he went and did a silly thing... Well, I'll tell you what he did. He ordered his planes... to attack your country... Ah... Well, let me finish, Dmitri... Let me finish, Dmitri... "


GREAT MOVIE!!!

Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one .45 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 a nylon stockings. Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

After watching Dr. Strangelove in my American film history class about a week ago, I find myself agreeing with the assessment that a very small proportion of the high school age kids in my class understood it. After it was done and people commented that "It was stupid" or that "It had no point" for God's sake, I was so frustrated that I almost wanted to explode. They had no idea of the subtle criticism of the fatalism that lies at the center of nuclear deterrence. I couldn't believe it and was almost ashamed that not only are these my peers, but these are the people who will be voting for the next president.

LOL...can picture him sitting there, talking to McCallum about the need to have Jar-Jar in the films in order to protect their "vital fluids".

NM, someone already quoted it.

BTW, has anyone picked up the 40th anniversary DVD, is it worth spending a little more for it than the older version?

Can imagine what it's going to be like on Friday. My friend and I will be sitting there, towards the end of the movie we'll be tied to a pole, a ghostly GL will be floating around, the theater employees and all the GL butt-boys will be standing there "It's beautiful!" I'll be like "Marc, whatever you do, don't look at it. Shut your eyes Marc, don't look at it no matter what". Speakers start to blow up, the ushers are being lifted
off the ground by the apparition, then the apparition lifts it's head, disolves from GL to a horrid skull-like JarJar. The president of the local GL fan club screams "Oh my God this movie's AWFUL!!" then his head melts. Then another GL flunkie grabs his head and screams, and his head blows up.

Like that whole South Park episode. That one really was classic.

I rented Dr. Strangelove. It's one of the few Kubrick movies I've seen that I really like. I watched it with my mother and late grandma. My grandma was laughing more than we did. I'd never seen her react to a movie like that before.

Obi-Wan takes young baby Luke to Lars (Owen's father), who is still in his weelchair.

"So, this is Luke Skywalker... I'm not sure if I should leave him with you... I'm not sure of what to do..."
"I have a plan..." (Lars gets up) "Mein jedi.... I can WALK!"

End, at the end of episode 3, the Death Star will blow up planets with "We'll meet again" on the background.
