Online viewing tip. Making Strangelove.

Stanley Kubrick Inside: Dr Strangelove, a doc on the making of the classic. In five parts, via Coudal Partners, which has been going Strangelove nuts all day. Scan those "Fresh Signals" for more linkage and precious bodily fluids.

Update, 8/9: "Stanley Kubrick did for the Cold War what he had done for space in 2001," writes Christopher Coker in a review of Doomsday Men: The Real Dr Strangelove and the Dream of the Superweapon for the Times Literary Supplement. "[H]e intensified it, thereby making it more theatrical and at the same time giving it more depth. It is easily the funniest movie made about global thermo-nuclear war, and Strangelove seems not to have lost its bite, even though we think (mistakenly) that we have escaped the nuclear age."

It's a boot from one of the many DVD editions.

I found pics of the 2001 space station rotting in a field in their archives!!! What a shame.

I remember hearing the story how Kubrick used one of the hybernation tanks as a freezer in his house.

I wonder if Kubrick would have used eBay if it had been available to sell the props? Doubt it.
