Re: DR.Stranglove Questions

Yes, he was taking a picture of the board. I just saw this film again and misunderstood the meaning. I thought it was leading to something else, but in fact, was just a gag. Earlier George C....

Sad is tough to define

Some movies have very tragic moments in otherwise entertaining films (TERMS OF ENDEARMENT). Some movies don't necessarily make you cry but you feel sad throughout (THE DEER HUNTER).

Then there's...

Recent convert as well

The story is deceptively chick-flickish. When you see ads for Julie Andrew dancing around like a Coke-addict (both powder and drink), with kids swinging off her arms in doofy outfits, most men want...
