"24.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Nyt kun Putinin huoli kallisarvoisten ruumiinnesteidensä puolesta ylitti aamulla viimein kriittisen tason, tuntuu jo jossain määrin väärältä, kuinka tolkuttoman hauskaa Tri. Outolemmen pureva ja pelottavakin satiiri on. Kerta toisensa jälkeen. Samanaikaisesti sitä räkättää lapsen tasolla ja puristaa polviaan hermostuksissaan ja vielä ehtii nyökytellä hyväksyvästi monipuoliselle tarkkaavaisuudelle. Presidenttien välinen ensimmäinen puhelinkesku"

" He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

"“There’s a scene where Sterling Hayden…waxes poetically about water fluoridation being a Communist plot – it’s one of the best pieces of movie writing ever, and it remains permanently imprinted on my brain! Dr. Strangelove also contains one of the great virtuoso comic performances…. Nobody could have done what Peter Sellers did. Or what Stanley Kubrick did.” -Rob Reiner"

“OK, don't bother to watch Dr. Strangelove until you watch Fail-Safe, preferably back-to-back. Why? Well, first, Dr. Strangelove will serve as comic relief after watching the stark, horrifying concepts and paranoia over a nuclear holocaust proffered by Fail-Safe and second, Fail-Safe will give you a proper frame of the reference Strangelove so giddily lampoons.

The movie itself, while dated in it's concepts, is a tour-de-force (or perhaps a tour-de-farce?) From the multiple characters played by Peter Sellers through the stellar acting by some of Hollywood's greatest! And, perhaps with the exception of Slim Pickens' over-the-top B-52 commander, all done with a sublime straight face.” read more

""Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is considered to be one of the funniest political satires of all time. The obvious question is, how do you make a topic as cold and horrific as Cold War nuclear annihilation funny? Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) at Burpelson Air Base orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union with the reluctant aid of RAF Colonel Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers). Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, US President Merkin Muffley (Sellers) tr"

" Notes: To be honest, this movie was the only one directed by Stanley Kubrick with which I didn't have much a connection. I mean, I did like it but it didn't blow me away like the rest of his movies. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to watch it again recently and, this time, I understood why it was regarded as one of his best movies. It was the only comedy made by the great master and, as expected from the best director ever, it ended up being one of the best comedies ever made. Indeed, there"
