  “i'm sorry too, dimitri. i’m very sorry. all right, you're sorrier than i am! but i am sorry as well. i am as sorry as you are dimitri, don't say that you're more sorry than i am because i'm capable of being just as sorry as you are! so we’re both sorry, alright?”

  The inevitable has occurred: I've watched a hugely popular and acclaimed film and come away scratching my head, wondering what on earth is so special about it. But don't revoke my Letterboxd membership just yet: do me the favor of hearing me out first.

  Dr Strangelove is obviously a sacred cow in film circles, and I can see why. It's often hilarious, sometimes visually striking, and full of excellent performances and dialogue. It's a funny film about a thoroughly unfunny situation. It's a perfect satire, really. But it left me completely cold.

  Perhaps that's because I'm eighteen and therefore my memory (or even my parents' memories) doesn't extend back to a time when nuclear annihilation seemed almost imminent, and my…

  Absolutely outstanding farce. Like a slow-motion screwball. George C. Scott and his faces absolutely run away with this thing. Was about to say Peter Sellers was doing incredible work as Mandrake and I didn’t even realize he was also playing the President & Dr. Strangelove. What a master. I’m the first to say this movie is terrific. What’s dumber than this? Just guys being dudes.

  Dr. Strangelove is an awful movie...

  ...is what someone should say to me if they want a quick jab to the throat.

  “Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.”

  Laughter is such a strange thing. We laugh because we’re happy. We laugh because we find something amusing. We laugh to displace our discomfort. We laugh because otherwise we might cry. We laugh because we don’t know how else to react. Same response, so many different triggers. The past decade has seen those non-traditional triggers frequently exploited by “cringe comedies” like Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Office; laughing at uncomfortable or sad situations has become all the rage. But it’s one thing to laugh at the absurdity of a politically incorrect…
