I just watched Dr. Strangelove...

[notyoueither]

No, it just deals with the daily realities of living in London.

A fellow could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all this stuff.

But I really like the idea of using behavioral modification to cure prisoners of their violent and antisocial behavior. A Clockwork Orange ruined any hopes of applying such methods to convicts.

I've always wondered why Kubrik chose to salt the language of the teenagers with Russian words.

Anthony Burgess, who wrote the novel, was the one who chose to do this.

A Clockwork Orange was IIRC the first movie I saw where I had actually read the novel first.

There are those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. .................and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.


Mr. President, we must not allow... a mine shaft gap!


Great film. One of many great Kubrick films.

I just bought the DVD last night. It cost me $9.99.

Kubrick's dead, you know.

IIRC, he was looking for a way to generate a lot of never-heard-before slang words for his characters to use. He knew Russian, so he borrowed from that language and slightly modified the words.

"Horrorshow" works really well.

I didn't know that. Here's me going thru life with Eyes Wide Shut.

I just don't see why one would pay for digital media, especially when the creator is no longer in a position to receive recompense.

I used to have a bit of the dialogue from the bar scene in 'The Shining' in my sig.

Lloyd: Yes it is, Mr. Torrance. What'll it be?
Jack: I'm awfully glad you asked me that, Lloyd. Because I just happen to have two twenties and two tens right here in my wallet. I was afraid they were gonna be there until next April. So here's what. You slip me a bottle of bourbon, a little glass, and some ice. You can do that, can't you Lloyd? You're not too busy, are ya?
Lloyd: No sir, I'm not busy at all.
