“Of course I like to speak to you. Of course I like to say hello. Not now, but anytime Dimitri. I’m just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened. It’s a friendly call. Of course it’s a friendly call. Listen if it wasn’t friendly…you probably wouldn’t have even got it.”
So many iconic jokes in this movie revolve around the telephone, makes me imagine a modern version where the characters have to instead struggle with the wifi and pairing bluetooth devices, etc.
Thank God for Kubrick.

Probably the best movie of its time. He reminds me of Yeltsin.
I'll drink to that! 🍸🥂
You are right!
Merkin Muffley is a beacon of sanity compared to the Presidential candidates we've got now.

What an absolute genius Kubrick was
"Well, he went a little funny in the head."
"... well, I'll tell you what he did..."
I'm imagining a situation where the roles are reversed and Putin is trying to talk to Biden. And Biden is of course incoherent. It's after 8PM in D.C.
Oh my god…
On self-love, vanity, power, Trumpism?
Intelligence community
@@Richard-kj2gg You just described the Biden's to a tee. Power hungry. Pelosi too.
"Well comrade Joe! My general did a...silly thing, da?"
Ken Adam's set design, with its circular table and a halo-like ring of lights over it, evokes the first phase of a mushroom cloud.
Most of the best lines are from that merry prankster Terry Southern.
Masterpiece.
Premier Kissoff...😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder if this was influanced by Bob Newhart. It sounds very much in the spirit of "Button Down Mind" from 1960.
Undoubtedly. Also Nichols and May.
Movie based on 1958 book "Red Alert" by Peter George
