My innocence is lost.

[Heidi]

I saw Dr. Strangelove for the first time last night, and I loved it. :loveya:

Thank you to Call Me Wesley, Oeditpus Rex and GrpCaptainMandrake for arousing my curiosity! :thumbsup:

Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do.

[KitchenWitch]

1. I love that film

I have the DVD!

[Heidi]

4. "A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas

with all that stuff."

I lovelovelove Slim Pickens! :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Great movie!

And, um, Heidi, when were you ever innocent? :evilgrin: :rofl:

[Heidi]

5. I feel vindicated

by your post! :loveya: :* SMOOCH :*

[SeattleGirl]

12. You're welcome!

*SMOOCHIES* back to you! :loveya: :hug:

[Wapsie B]

3. The first time?

Cool. It is a great film.

[Heidi]

6. Everyone's gotta have a first time, dontcha know.

:rofl:

[Wapsie B]

13. Yes I suppose so.

But you just seemed to be the eternal innocent to me. ;-)

[Heidi]

16. Has your illusion of me been irreparably shattered?

:hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

30. No not at all.

You'll always be on that pedestal as far as I'm concerned.

:hug::loveya:

[Heidi]

32. Whew!

I barely squeaked by, didn't I? :rofl:

The feeling is mutual, my friend. :hug:

[Wapsie B]

36. Squeaked by?

Not hardly. That pedestal is pretty high.

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. 'T'was my pleasure

:hug:

Oh... a bit o' trivia: When Maj. Kong reads off the contents of the survival kit, the line "Shoot, a fella could have himself a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff" was dubbed. The original line had him saying "Dallas," but during post-production JFK was assassinated, so they had Pickens re-do the line.

[Heidi]

9. Thanks, OR!

And :hug: rightbackatcha, darlin'.

[amitten]

8. They made us watch that film in junior high.

Seriously! In a World Geography class. It's one of my favorites! (The film, not World Geography.)

[Heidi]

11. Wow, if a teacher had shown us that film in junior high,

he/she probably would have been fired and then burned at the stake. :scared:

[amitten]

21. I know, it's weird. And I lived in a hyper-conservative area

at the time. Thank God for teachers with free will and readily available A/V equipment, I guess. I was also exposed to my fair share of Monty Python in one of my high school classes. :bounce: :shrug:

[Ptah]

10. That's one of my favorites, Heidi.

'Gentlemen, there's no fighting here, this is the War Room."

The new Unsynchronized Woohoo Chorus agrees with your review.

[Heidi]

15. I don't know how I missed it all these years!

The film was made the year after my birth. I guess I just now finally got around to it. :shrug:

You've been a bad influence on the DU Synchronized WooHoo Olympic Team, Ptah. :rofl:

[Ptah]

18. The rejects from the screening process met at a bar

after their failed auditions and decided
to make a statement.

Essense is critical.

:silly:

[Heidi]

20. .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear Heidi.....

Dr. Strangelove is my husband's favorite movie of all time! We regularly quote lines from it to each other......

And then ROFLMAO! :rofl:

[Heidi]

17. I have a feeling

we're gonna be quoting it around here, too, Peggy. :rofl:

:loveya: gf. :*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Sounds good to me, my dear Heidi......

:loveya: :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. We are not

And how many times have I told you guys I don't want no horsin' around on the airplane?



:hi:

[madrchsod]

19. dam..... it takes along time to

get american movies over to Switzerland...

[Heidi]

23. That's true enough,

but I spent the first 35 years of my life in the US. I think I'd avoided "Dr. Strangelove" because I had this misguided idea that it was science fiction. :shrug:

[LSK]

24. i saw it too long ago to remember it

Might be time for a revisit.

[Heidi]

26. Right on!

:hug:

How ya doin, LSK?

[LSK]

27. im a doing great

Getting ready to get some zzzzz's shortly. One more day of work and then I get a 4 day weekend! :bounce:

[Parrcrow]

28. I think George C Scott is brilliant in it

"He'll see everything. He'll see the big board."

constantly jamming gum in his mouth.
clutching his files to his chest.
imitating a B-52 on a bombing run.
all the goofball facial expressions.

and sounding like Al Haig twenty years early.



The man plays a great general!

[Heidi]

29. "He'll see the big board."

An excellent thing to say about DU newbies. :rofl:

[Parrcrow]

31. LOL

Grab all the files! Wrestle 'em to the ground. Keep 'em out of our mine-shaft!!

:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

33. I think you and I could start a new meme, my friend.

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. We MUST not allow

a MINE-SHAFT GAP!

[GrpCaptMandrake]

40. It would be quite easy

Mein Fuhrer. Greenhouses could be used for, excuse me: Mr. President plants. Animals could be bred undt schlauggghhtered!"

I love the fact that Dr. Strangelove's left hand never knows what the right hand is doing!

:spray:

[Parrcrow]

35. I'm game

:pals:

"We must not allow a mine-shaft gap!!

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

43. "The fools. The mad fools!" n/t

[Parrcrow]

60. "I'm going get your money for you...

but if you don't get the President of the United States on the phone, you're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company."

[GrpCaptMandrake]

37. Ah, Heidi! You'll never be the same

What you need now is some cold water on the back of the neck and the code!

[Heidi]

38. There you are, my friend!

:hug:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

42. Couldn't resist a before bed check-in

Hard time falling asleep tonight. Gotta try. Appointments to keep at 10 a.m. Mornings! Yuck!

Soooooo glad you liked the film. It will become like a fun little secret language for you and CMW.

:hug:

[Heidi]

44. Glad you checked in.

Sweet dreams, and thanks helping give me that little "nudge" to watch this excellent film. :hug:

[hfojvt]

39. I am still pure as the driven snow

which is piling up here BTW.
I have not seen it, yet.

[Heidi]

41. Please see it if you can, hfojvt.

Snow in Kansas . . . lovely, as I recall. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. Wanna have some real fun?

Watch "Fail-Safe," then "Dr. Strangelove."

In that order. Otherwise, it won't work.

[Heidi]

46. Are you tryin' to skeer me, mister?

:scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Nope

It's just a real interesting contrast. TV Guide used to call Fail Safe "Dr. Strangelove without the laughs."

[Heidi]

54. I've penciled it in.

If it's recommended by _you_, Call Me Wesley will immediately buy it. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

55. If my recommendations were so solid

you woulda used a pen. :P

[In_The_Wind]

47. Remember - we must replace our precious bodily fluids.

[Heidi]

:spray: :rofl:

:loveya: Joani! The Lounge lights up when you walk in.

[In_The_Wind]

56. .

Somebody's gotta do it



no SEX threads

Thank You Heidi

[bridgit]

49. "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room."

:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

BRIDGIT! :* SMOOCH! :*

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

51. "Now look, Col. Bat Guano, if that really is your name...."

That always cracks me up.

Here's a site for you with .wav files from the film:

[Heidi]

52. Thank you!!!!

:pals:

[enigmatic]

57. Fantastic Film

:hug:

It's always been one of my favorites, and I never fail to laugh my ass off.

And Peter Sellers was a GOD:)

[Heidi]

58. Wait a minute!

I thought Bukowski was God! :shrug:

:hug: enigmatic! So good to see you!

[enigmatic]

59. Bukowski was THE GOD

;-)

Good to see you, too:) I got off work an hour ago and have today off, so I'm getting into an ulta-relaxo mode for the next 24 hours before I start another marathon; I need it...

[Call Me Wesley]

61. Taking Kubrick as the perfectionist

he was, there's still this little scene where Dr. Strangelove fights with his right arm, and the guy playing the Soviet ambassador is starting to crack up. Hard to see, but it's there.

[Greyhound]

62. I've got it here and my SO hasn't seen it either. She may resist but I'm

prepared to pay late fees if necessary. This is one of the essential films of our culture, and shows many of the youngsters why Peter Sellers was such an incredible talent.
:woohoo: :popcorn: :rofl:
