    Spot on!

    As timely as ever as once again we see the Doomsday Clock approaching midnight with all the false bravado of the White House when it comes to its war on terrorism. Kubrick nailed the Cold War. The characterizations are spot on. Peter Sellers has a field day in his multiple roles, with Dr. Strangelove a fantastic parody on the German scientists who came to America to develop the bomb. General Turgidson made me think of Rumsfeld. Quick to come up with a snappy reply to any of the questions posed in the War Room as the crisis deepens. But, the star of the show is Slim Pickens as Major TJ ’’King’’ Kong as he leads the B52 deep into Russian territory determined to find his target. As Kubrick noted, the scenario was so absud that hunor was the only treatment possible. The only comparable movie to this one is "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming" which offers a light hearted, but no less ascerbic, look at the Cold War.

    So sattire wasn’’t invented in the year 2003

    If you have a keen sense of irony and a love of classics then buckle your seat-belts kiddos and get ready for the ride only thoughtful and discerning viewers can truly appreciate. If, on the other hand you totally lack social nuance like I do, and maybe one time, accidentally, used the big fork instead of the small one at the fancy office Christmas party and Jenny from accounting will never let you forget about it no matter how many times you change the cooler water for the department and show her how to use company time to check stock quotes and download gourmet recipes to feed her gifted brood (who by the way would rather have a grilled cheese sandwich) without getting caught, then get down with the veiled slapstick. Either way, DVDs count as members of a culturally sophisticated lexicon, as books did some years ago and if you have this one on your shelf, your sure to impress the coffee-swilling vixen that you picked up at the trendy hot spot with your contrived use of film knowledge.
