Great movie

Target in sight!  Where in hell is Major Kong?!

I thought it was interesting that Kubrick used a different tone for each setting.  The War Room was comedy with some drama.  The Air Base was about 50/50, and the bomber was straight drama with a little comedy.

And it worked splendidly.

It was to drive home just how badly the right hand had no clue what the left hand was thinking.

Has nothing to do with science.

Science is the application of the scientific method.


Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Ask a Question
The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?

For a science fair project some teachers require that the question be something you can measure, preferably with a number.

For detailed help with this step, use these resources:
Your Question
Laboratory Notebook
2. Do Background Research
Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy scientist using library and Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and ensure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past.

For detailed help with this step, use these resources:
Background Research Plan
Finding Information
Bibliography
Research Paper
3. Construct a Hypothesis
A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work. It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested. A good hypothesis allows you to then make a prediction:
"If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen."

State both your hypothesis and the resulting prediction you will be testing. Predictions must be easy to measure.

Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Your experiment tests whether your prediction is accurate and thus your hypothesis is supported or not. It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.

You should also repeat your experiments several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident.

For detailed help with this step, use these resources:
Experimental Procedure
Materials List
Conducting an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and analyze them to see if they support your hypothesis or not.

Scientists often find that their predictions were not accurate and their hypothesis was not supported, and in such cases they will communicate the results of their experiment and then go back and construct a new hypothesis and prediction based on the information they learned during their experiment. This starts much of the process of the scientific method over again. Even if they find that their hypothesis was supported, they may want to test it again in a new way.

For detailed help with this step, use these resources:
Data Analysis & Graphs
Conclusions
6. Communicate Your Results
To complete your science fair project you will communicate your results to others in a final report and/or a display board. Professional scientists do almost exactly the same thing by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by presenting their results on a poster or during a talk at a scientific meeting. In a science fair, judges are interested in your findings regardless of whether or not they support your original hypothesis.

Science Fair Judging

One of my favorite movies of all time. It was *the* movie that got me into Kubrick films too.

My tribute to Slim Pickens; Circa 2003 Al Taji, Iraq.

I guess we’re all finding it on Prime at the same time.

Watched it for the first time a few weeks ago. Decent flick.

Yep, normal people in the trenches, the higher up the chain of command, the more looney, the POTUS as a limp dick.
Pretty accurate still....

General "Buck" Turgidson : Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.



Awesome movie!

I had heard of it for years and never watched it but finally did, probably in my mid 20's - Hilarious.  


I tried to get my wife to watch it but she has a completely different sense of humor.

Must be a blast at parties.

Kinda like watching Team America when you’re deployed to the Middle East in the early 2k’s?

I don't give a hoot in hell how you do it; you just get me to the primary!!  

Well, I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir...

Been there too...Dirka Dirka Jihad

My favorite movie of all time.

Basically, Kubrick started off trying to make a movie version of the novel Red Alert.  After he got partway into writing the script, he realized it was just too preposterously grim (as Fail Safe proved) and decided to make a black comedy with serious overtones (the entire script revolves around people making bad decisions that sound OK in isolation, but in context are totally mad).

There's a reason that GEN Ripper is calm and reasonable, while GEN Turgidson is manic and frequently crazy-sounding.....yet the former is the dude who just had a psychotic break and the latter is actually making reasonable points and being constructive.

Yeah when they said that line I was in tears laughing.

antiwar pap

From which Peter Sellers?

That movie was gloriously offensive and awesome. I really wish they would have made a sequel.

It would be interesting to see a pro nuclear war movie.  Not pro weapons as a deterrent but straight up pro war.

I think this is one of the funniest scenes in the movie...

Jimmy Stewart made it.

I always liked this tribute.

That *definitely* brings back some memories.

I wonder if they were the first ones to use shaky cam for the combat footage?  It was so realistic, it looked like documentary footage.

i'm referring to the science as embodied by strangelove...akin to the terminator in "the terminator" he represents (partially) the "good idea" that becomes perverted\tragically misued\completely bypassed by human chaos. see also jurassic park [actually all of chricton's stuff], alien trilogy, etc. ...i just like strangelove the best...

The B-52 flying over the treetops...
And no communication to stop the mission .

It gave me chills as a kid.

Years later I found out they were being funny.

Oh my...my condolences to you and yours.

He used handheld cameras for those action scenes to make it more raw. It really contrasted with the fixed set camerawork.

My favorite part!!!!

Parts are tedious, parts are beyond excellent.

Overall it's a 4/5 stars.

Eyes wide shut...Kubrick's last film...was reality-based, he somewhat mysteriously died before it's release.  Not a comedy.

For those who don't know, the ending song was from WW2.

I thought he had a heart attack.

Eyes Wide Shut had a lot of great atmosphere.

Are you thinking Strategic Air Command or one of the public relations or training films?  

I barely remember the plot of Strategic Air Command.

She passed away last year at 103 years of age.

She was also mentioned in Pink Floyd's The Wall.

She was quite a Dame.

Remember to say your prayers tonight. Lol

And although I hate to judge before all the facts are in, it's beginning to look like General Ripper exceeded his authority.

It was a real thing in Strategic Air Command,





Keep laughing hippie.  

ETA:  And I was beat by PCSutton and I chose the same two pics.

I do at least have a SAC Crest for the 2 years I did at FE Warren AFB.

So the hippie comment still applies to the OP.

The phone calls to the ambassadors describing the tone they would hear and the handset melting on the other end of the line was pretty chilling.

It's a great guys movie, I love it anyway.

Do you think I carry loose change into combat?

I still think it’s funny.  It’s just the sort of ass backwards thing the military would do or say and quite obviously did!

I visited Griffiss AFB back in 1987 and overheard a conversation between some aircrew members about Discovery Channel being on base filming some episode about the B-52s stationed there.

One of the comments was that the Discovery production crew had shown Dr Strangelove to all the personnel involved to be able to discuss reality vs the movie.  The salient point overheard was that most of the B52 crewmembers involved had never heard of the film before that showing.

Bet they'd never seen Jimmy Stewart in Strategic Air Command or Rock Hudson in Gathering Of Eagles, either.

Watch the guy in the hat to his left when he throws the Nazi salute...he almost loses it laughing.
