Anyone remember Dr. Strangelove? (the movie, that is)

[question everything]

George C. Scott was a general, or head of the CIA, who was full of angst once the Russian ambassador was admitted to the war room. He was trying to hide whatever he could and made all kind of faces.

And then he was all aghast when the president talked to the Soviet leader to work together to avert an attack.

Every time when I see the faces that Trump makes while listening to his rivals during the debates, I am reminded of George C. Scott in this movie.

[pangaia]

1. Of COURSE I remember it. :>))

And while I appreciate the analogy.
Donald ain't no George C. Scott.

(Get it?)

[question everything]

2. Right. He ain't George C. Scott

but he is as bombastic and clueless as the character..

[pangaia]

4. I know, I know.

Just pullin' your chain..
As in "You are no Jack Kennedy."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. One of the best movies ever.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Uncanny

[question everything]

9. Thank you! Thank you!

I knew I could trust DUer to get just the right pictures.

6. "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

[Kilgore]

7. Just watched it last weekend

One if my favorites!

8. My brothers, father, sons, uncle, etc. and I were on a Canadian

fishing trip and it was pouring rain. We played cards and played charades. When it was my turn, I indicated film and 13 words. Nobody got it. How many film titles have 13 words?

[kentauros]

15. Not many.

But they do exist:

10. Jet exhaust frying chickens in the barnyard!

[Cartoonist]

11. Wrong movie

See George in The Flim-Flam Man.

[quaker bill]

12. I tend to think of General Ripper

whenever I listen to nearly any modern Republican. His monologue wraps the John Birch Society in a fine layer of Ayn Rand's John Galt. I have rarely seen a better bit of film.

14. Do you realize that water fluoridation

is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we ever had to face

[quaker bill]

16. It destroys our "purity of essence"

and apparently increases the demand for Viagra....

[iandhr]

13. He he'll see the big board

[jmowreader]

17. He was Chief of Staff of the Air Force

Does anyone know the name of the character who offered the Russian ambassador Jamaican cigars?

"Thank you, no," said the Ambassador, "I do not support the work of imperialist stooges."
"Only commie stooges, huh?"

19. Shoot,

a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Nookler combat, toe to toe with the rooskies...

[caraher]

21. Turns out the original line was "weekend in Dallas..."

but with JFK's assassination happening just before the film came out, they needed to change it!

[question everything]

24. Interesting. I know that they had a problem with

coming right after the assassination.

I also like the picture from your reference

[Javaman]

22. someone needs to ask tRump if he fears a bodily fluid gap. nt

[Coventina]

23. "You'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company!"

I think that every time I use a Coke machine.
