[mrtylerdurden]

:)

[The Gunslinger45]

Okay cool. Give me a few minutes I have to hit the can first.

[mrtylerdurden]

[The Gunslinger45]

And I am back.

[The Gunslinger45]

[mrtylerdurden]

[The Gunslinger45]

Press play now

[mrtylerdurden]

[The Gunslinger45]

About to be 3:31.

[mrtylerdurden]

ok or dead just went off the screen

[mrtylerdurden]

for more than a year

[The Gunslinger45]

And I just finished the crawl saying this is pure fiction so Columbia doesn't get sued.

[The Gunslinger45]

A DOOMSDAY DEVICE!

[mrtylerdurden]

those kubrick sexual references lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Cue the romantic music and phallic imagery.

[The Gunslinger45]

This really is one of my all time favorite movies. Top 5 easy.

[mrtylerdurden]

i think the handwritten credits were hardly used at the time this came out. Am i right about that?

[The Gunslinger45]

i think the handwritten credits were hardly used at the time this came out. Am i right about that?

Yeah they were usually rather professional and had a title artist I would think.

[The Gunslinger45]

Got to love a movie based on nuclear war that Kubrick decided "F it, we're going for laughs!"

[The Gunslinger45]

General Jack D. Ripper. Perfect name. And Peter Sellers is brilliant in his multiple roles.

[mrtylerdurden]

yep. i feel like theres a sick sense of humor in every kubrick movie somewhere. its just hard to find sometimes

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh Hell...

[The Gunslinger45]

yep. i feel like theres a sick sense of humor in every kubrick movie somewhere. its just hard to find sometimes

Indeed. Some more then others. Like this film and Lolita.

[mrtylerdurden]

oh no the alarms!

[The Gunslinger45]

And lockdown.

[The Gunslinger45]

I was an infantryman in the Army, and I gave Chair Force guys a lot of crap, but even I admit that the B-52 is AWESOME!

[mrtylerdurden]

those quick zooms tho

[The Gunslinger45]

And Slim Pickens as Major Kong. Originally supposed to be played by Peter Sellers too.

[The Gunslinger45]

Wing Attack Plan R.

[The Gunslinger45]

Triple checking.

[mrtylerdurden]

cue young darth vader

[The Gunslinger45]

Getting the hat from the safe.

[The Gunslinger45]

Going toe to toe with the Russkies.

[mrtylerdurden]

lets get this thing on the hump we got some flyin to do

[The Gunslinger45]

Aside from the brilliant cinematography, memorable characters and lines, the score is just perfect!

[The Gunslinger45]

A secretary in a bikini. Officers get all the perks.

[The Gunslinger45]

Also she was the same girl in the Playboy.

[mrtylerdurden]

"yes I'm afraid the general is a little tied up right now"

s&m joke?

[The Gunslinger45]

"yes I'm afraid the general is a little tied up right now"

s&m joke?

IDK, I do not see any leather and he got out on his own.

[mrtylerdurden]

maybe it was supposed to be subliminal

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh I do love Geroge C Scott. Even though he swore he would never work with Kubrick again after this flick. Due to .... issues with some of the takes used. LOL

[The Gunslinger45]

And lets face it Scott is a laugh riot.

[The Gunslinger45]

maybe it was supposed to be subliminal

That is something Kubrick would do. :D

[mrtylerdurden]

kubrick sure does love tile floors

[The Gunslinger45]

Group Captain senses something is afoot!

[mrtylerdurden]

ope

[The Gunslinger45]

Kubrick helped to build the plane, and the specs were so accurate the government was curious how he got the info!

[mrtylerdurden]

i LOVE those zoom ins. those were hardly used like that in movies before this. kubricks visual language set a standard

[The Gunslinger45]

i LOVE those zoom ins. those were hardly used like that in movies before this. kubricks visual language set a standard

He was one of the great master's of the film .

[The Gunslinger45]

And the plot thickens.

[mrtylerdurden]

i want some green alcoholic rainwater

[mrtylerdurden]

sounds like a good drink

[The Gunslinger45]

i want some green alcoholic rainwater

And so begins the insanity.

[The Gunslinger45]

sounds like a good drink

I'll stick to beer.

[mrtylerdurden]

this movie makes me want to smoke a cigar

[The Gunslinger45]

General Ripper shows his motives and his lack of sanity

[mrtylerdurden]

ah! theres the table that kubrick requested being green despite the movie being b&w. he wanted it to be green because it signified these men gambling away important matters

[The Gunslinger45]

Dammit real life called, where are you at right now?

[mrtylerdurden]

i paused it at 28:53

[The Gunslinger45]

Okay just give me a second.

[mrtylerdurden]

ok tell me when you're back and we'll work it out so the movie is synced properly

[The Gunslinger45]

I am letting this play because it is a big expo b/w Scott and Sellers.

Start now

[The Gunslinger45]

Letter from General Ripper.

[mrtylerdurden]

hold on one sec. what is the time u are at on the movie?

[The Gunslinger45]

Purity and essence of or precious... fluids.

[The Gunslinger45]

29:56 and pause.

[mrtylerdurden]

ok hold on

[The Gunslinger45]

Holding.

[mrtylerdurden]

as soon as your clock hits 4:07 press play

[The Gunslinger45]

k

[The Gunslinger45]

And lets go.

[mrtylerdurden]

phone call

[The Gunslinger45]

One of the things that makes this really funny for me is this is a film where a lot of the people in power have the WORST priorities.

[mrtylerdurden]

yep talkin to his girlfriend when the world is at stake lol

[The Gunslinger45]

yep talkin to his girlfriend when the world is at stake lol

So many more to come!

[The Gunslinger45]

Points from General Scott

[The Gunslinger45]

And in all seriousness I LOVE this set! Probably my favorite set ever.

[mrtylerdurden]

it would be an honor to work with kubrick but i would NOT want to be a crew member on a kubrick set when i was having a bad day

[The Gunslinger45]

Well Mr President General Ripper invalidated that policy...

[The Gunslinger45]

it would be an honor to work with kubrick but i would NOT want to be a crew member on a kubrick set when i was having a bad day

Especially when your name is Shelley Duvall.

[mrtylerdurden]

i wonder if general ripper is a reference to jack the ripper saying that the general is a maniac and psychopathic killer

[The Gunslinger45]

10-20 million killed tops. Depending on the breaks.

ONE OF THE MOST MESSED UP LINES IN THE MOVIE

[The Gunslinger45]

i wonder if general ripper is a reference to jack the ripper saying that the general is a maniac and psychopathic killer

Oh yeah.

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh I love this scene! The survival kit!

[mrtylerdurden]

like the survival kit is gonna help much lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Shoot a fellas could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff...

[mrtylerdurden]

this is how i talk to my mom about breakfast

[The Gunslinger45]

like the survival kit is gonna help much lol

I like how it implies that to survive you will have to sell your body. LOL!

[The Gunslinger45]

this is how i talk to my mom about breakfast

Very charming I'm sure.

[The Gunslinger45]

You can't fight in here this is the War Room!

[mrtylerdurden]

You can't fight in here this is the War Room!

LOLOLOL

[The Gunslinger45]

I love how Scott's character is obsessed with the Big Board. Like that is his pride and joy or something.

[The Gunslinger45]

Firefight!

[mrtylerdurden]

awkward silence lol

[The Gunslinger45]

And here come some more messed up priorities and some very funny dialogue.

[The Gunslinger45]

mytylerdurden are you fine? It is great to be fine...

[mrtylerdurden]

mytylerdurden are you fine? It is great to be fine...

i am thank you. and it sure is lol

[mrtylerdurden]

he went a little funny in the head and did a silly thing... nice choice of words

[The Gunslinger45]

LMAO at this scene!

[mrtylerdurden]

the fact that you don't hear what the character is saying on the phone makes it even funnier

[The Gunslinger45]

Of course I like to say hello!

[The Gunslinger45]

the fact that you don't hear what the character is saying on the phone makes it even funnier

Oh so much funnier.

[mrtylerdurden]

theyre both sorry lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Please tell me this is not how Kennedy talked to the Russians...

[The Gunslinger45]

THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE!

[mrtylerdurden]

the fools... the mad fools...

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh I love this! Sterling Hayden plays it so straight it is darkly hilarious!

[The Gunslinger45]

The commie plot of water fluoridation.

[mrtylerdurden]

i love how calmly he walks over to the window

[The Gunslinger45]

I like to say the cigar and machine gun are just that, but lets face it in this case they are phallic.

[mrtylerdurden]

"oh dont mind me, im just getting out my light machine gun."

[The Gunslinger45]

General Ripper just asked an Englishman to help him fight by saying the RED COATS are coming! LMAO!

[The Gunslinger45]

Our source was the New York Times.

[The Gunslinger45]

Enter one of my favorite characters... DR STRANGELOVE!

[mrtylerdurden]

he made the kermit voice mainstream

[mrtylerdurden]

"gee i wish we had one of those doomsday machines" LOL

[The Gunslinger45]

A kraut by any other name...

[The Gunslinger45]

WHY DID YOU KEEP IT A SECRET!


The premier loves surprises...

[The Gunslinger45]

Don't grab the heat shield like that you ninny!

[mrtylerdurden]

hes had that cigar this whole time lol

[The Gunslinger45]

hes had that cigar this whole time lol

Must be a great cigar.

[mrtylerdurden]

"childrens ice cream" apparently theres also an ice cream for adults

[The Gunslinger45]

So the guy gets tired and shagged out mixed with guilt leads to nuclear war. Yeah I see that. LOL!

[The Gunslinger45]

I was watching my brother play the Zerg Campaign in Starcraft II, and the feral Zerg's kept saying essence so many times I ran out of Dr Strangelove jokes.

[The Gunslinger45]

Tortured by the Japanese. Poor dude went through hell.

[mrtylerdurden]

Tortured by the Japanese. Poor dude went through hell.

yep. its strange that they make such good cameras

[The Gunslinger45]

Exit General Ripper...

[Holden Pike]

i wonder if general ripper is a reference to jack the ripper saying that the general is a maniac and psychopathic killer

You mean General Jack D. Ripper, who wants to destroy the world?

Nah.

[mrtylerdurden]

excuse me i need to go to the bathroom.

BANG

lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Now for some B-52 fun.

[mrtylerdurden]

darth vader needs to lift the plane back up with the force

[The Gunslinger45]

Peace on Earth

Purity of Essence

[The Gunslinger45]

Colonel Bat Guano!

[mrtylerdurden]

that phone probably wont work without a cord...

[The Gunslinger45]

that phone probably wont work without a cord...

Not in the 60's. lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Literally everything that can go wrong does go wrong in this movie.

[mrtylerdurden]

pros: they wont see them on the radar
cons: they might hit an iceberg at that height

[The Gunslinger45]

Colonel Bat Guano, man of action and hater of preversion.

[mrtylerdurden]

doesnt guano mean poop in spanish?

[The Gunslinger45]

doesnt guano mean poop in spanish?

Yup.

[The Gunslinger45]

But if this doesn't work you will have to answer to the Coca Cola company.

[mrtylerdurden]

Yup.

aha batsh*t crazy. clever kubrick

[The Gunslinger45]

OPE works. Recall initiated.

[mrtylerdurden]

But if this doesn't work you will have to answer to the Coca Cola company.

NO! NOT THE COCA COLA COMPANY! NOOOOOO!

lol

[The Gunslinger45]

One last plane headed to Russia.

[The Gunslinger45]

And more messed up priorities.

[The Gunslinger45]

George C Scott's takes where all "over the top initial takes" taken for warm ups. "Real takes" were taken after wards and then never used. Kubrick was a sneaky bastard like that.

[mrtylerdurden]

"I'm just worried thats all"
what an understatement

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh crap. B-52 changing course to a target of opportunity.

[mrtylerdurden]

nazies lol

[The Gunslinger45]

George C Scott just realized what he was just saying and he realizes we are all doomed.

[mrtylerdurden]

lol i can see why george c scott was mad now lol

[The Gunslinger45]

I know right? lol But he gave us a hell of a show!

[mrtylerdurden]

I know right? lol But he gave us a hell of a show!

He sure did

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh crap bomb doors are still shut.

[mrtylerdurden]

"open the bomb doors hal"
"I'm afraid I can't do that dave"

[The Gunslinger45]

"open the bomb doors hal"
"I'm afraid I can't do that dave"

Well played sir!

[mrtylerdurden]

It's funny that Dear John later became a crappy romantic novel/movie

[The Gunslinger45]

I did not know this.

[The Gunslinger45]

And here is my profile banner.

[The Gunslinger45]

And there goes the planet.

[mrtylerdurden]

what an explosive finale

[The Gunslinger45]

Ah the evil hand...

[The Gunslinger45]

Would not be difficult Mein Furer... I mean Mr President.

[The Gunslinger45]

Damn evil hand! lol

[The Gunslinger45]

Oh sure the bombs are going off and the guys are getting excited about getting to bang lots of chicks.

PRIORITIES PEOPLE!

[mrtylerdurden]

i feel his pain. happens to me all the time lol

[mrtylerdurden]

dont you just hate it when you accidentally sieg hile

[mrtylerdurden]

dont you just hate it when you accidentally sieg hile

sorry i dont know how to spell it

[The Gunslinger45]

MEIN FURER! I CAN WALK!

Cue mushroom clouds.

[The Gunslinger45]

And this is the perfect way to end the film. Initially it was supposed to be a pie fight. But I think this is the best way.

[mrtylerdurden]

it wouldnt surprise me if this wasnt stock footage and kubrick really did set off nukes for the movie lol

[The Gunslinger45]

GENIUS! Pure unadulterated genius!

5

[The Gunslinger45]

So what did you think dude?

[mrtylerdurden]

GENIUS! Pure unadulterated genius!

[The Gunslinger45]

Indeed. Glad we could do this. Now I await Sexy for a Lethal Weapon II commentary.

[mrtylerdurden]

So what did you think dude?

I've seen it before it's just been a while and its brilliant. the sharp and biting satire must have had any politician who had seen this squirming in their seats.

[Swan]

I give this commentary a 4.

[The Gunslinger45]

Thank You Swan.

[Holden Pike]

Prevert.

[mrtylerdurden]

[Swan]

[mrtylerdurden]

[Sexy Celebrity]

[mrtylerdurden]

You're supposed to make a thread for all your commentaries, not just one.
