Peter. Sellers.
I feel like that might be all I need to say.
Perhaps not…
Also, James Earl Jones, George C Scott, Slim Pickens.
Still not quite there? Okay…
This movie makes me laugh harder every time I watch it*. It is dark humor at it’s pinnacle. It is smart and wicked and witty and weird. It perfectly illustrates the hysteria of the cold war without sacrificing the drama of a deftly shot film. Mr Kubric, no one can compare. It does do something to reveal the personal paranoia of SOMEONE involved in the making of this film…
Group Captain Mandrake, have you ever noticed I never drink anything but pure grain alcohol and rainwater?
Muuuuh huh.
Burpleson Air Force Base. General Jack D Ripper. General Buck Turgidson. President Merkin Muffley. Major Kong. I lack words, so I am reduced to spouting awesomeness.
I mean, Slim Pickens RIDES A NUCLEAR WARHEAD OUT OF A PLANE LIKE IT IS A MECHANICAL BULL.
What more do you want from me?
*Only The Big Lebowski can also do this.
