Dr Strangelove

[Down under there]

Anyone seen it? That was an amazing movie, I just watched it yesterday...

I love stuff from the Cold War, it has such a paranoid spin. These people were living in the shadow of nuclear holocaust and they still made a darn funny movie about it. And as a bonus I now know where Jibjab got the missile-riding scene..

[The Peoples of Yavanna]

One of my favorite movies, ever, period!

Peter Sellers is just amazing!!

[Down under there]

I quite agree ;D ;D ;D

If you love Peter Sellers, then I have to recommend the Pink Panther movies where he is a bumbling French detective with an accent so bad the other French people have difficluty understanding him. Also, The Magic Christian, I think the book it was based on was written by the same author as Dr. Strangelove. This movie includes Ringo Starr as Seller's adopted son and the cast of Monty Python proving everyone can be bought to creat hilarity.

Although he is best known for his comedies, I really liked "Being There" (apart from the ending). It has a lot of humour on a deeper level, but Sellers plays it straight and does so very well.

Dr. Strangelove was a great satrical movie with an all-star cast but I prefer his other satire, Casino Royale .

Stop reviving old threads! That's what I do.

Well all the current posts are the same old stuff - who's going to post next, extreme count, might as well get some of the newer members involved in some of the older threads, no?

"Mr. Bat Guano, if that is your real name"

Could not stop laughing when I heard that line.

[Echolilia]

Fluoride for all.

[La Vida De Sangre]

Gentlemen, you can't post in here! This is the War Room.

[Boltor]

Quite a good movie...

[Paffnia]

I still need to get around to seeing this movie.

[Anartonia]

What is this "movie" concept you speak of?

[Boltor]

Thanks to our friends at Wikipedia:
"A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still or moving images. It is produced by recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry.

Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating – or indoctrinating – citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue into the language of the viewer.

Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.

The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photo-play and flick. A common name for film in the United States is movie, while in Europe the term film is preferred. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema and the movies."
