Kinetic Kubrick: 'Dr. Strangelove'
29 April 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I love these kinetic typography videos and this one featuring Sterling Hayden's speech in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is particularly impressive. I have included the transcript below the video. Ripper Mandrake, I suppose it never occurred to you that while we're chatting here so enjoyably, a decision is being made by the President and the Joint Chiefs in the war room at the Pentagon. And when they realize there is no possibility of recalling the wing, there will be only one course of action open -- total commitment. Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war? Mandrake No. I don't think I do sir, no. Ripper He said war was to important to be left to the Generals. When he said that, fifty years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too »

10 Crazy Movie Politicians We’d Never Vote For
26 April 2013 4:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Politics! Everybody loves politics, don’t they? Whether it is laughing at George Osborne for refusing to deviate from his clearly flawed austerity plan or creating meme’s out of photos of Boris Johnson hanging from a zipwire, there is something for absolutely everybody. Unless you don’t vote. Then you have no say.
There have been some wonderful politicians throughout movie history, perhaps the best example being Bill Pullman in Independence Day. He is a jet pilot! This list is not of those politicians in the same vein, this a group of people who could only hope to thought of in the same way, they wouldn’t even get protest votes they are that useless.
10. Merkin Muffley – Dr. Strangelove
Dr. Strangelove is an absolute classic and a lot of that is down to the wonderful performance of Peter Sellers, one of his multiple roles is that of Us President Merkin Muffley. »

Learn What Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' and Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove' Were Almost Called
17 April 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Every work of art started as an idea — perhaps scribbled in a notebook. The same goes for film titles, as Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb proves. It's a memorable, amusing title for the filmmaker's funny ode to paranoia in the nuclear age. Open Culture shared a page from Kubrick's notebook, in which the director drafted a list of potential titles for his Peter Sellers-starring movie. Our personal favorite? Dr. Strangelove’s Secret Uses of Uranus wins everything. Also, naming Seller's mad character Dr. Doomsday feels more comic book-worthy, so we're happy that never stuck. Kubrick was an obsessive director; we have to wonder how many other title drafts exist in the bottomless pit of his...

'Star Trek Into Darkness' trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch has a ship now
16 April 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The newest trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness mostly features some new looks at sequences you’ll recognize from earlier trailers. The red-tinted Dr. Strangelove war room, the Enterprise falling to earth, Captain Pike doing his best impression of Tom Skerritt from Top Gun, Chris Pine’s eyes shining as blue as a sapphire supernova: Check, check, checkeroo! But there are some intriguing bits of new footage. The key revelation is that Benedict Cumberbatch’s maybe-Khan-maybe-not bad guy has a ship. It’s much larger than the Enterprise. It’s colored dark, because it’s eeeeevil. And am I crazy, »

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Sorcerer and the White Snake’ Succumbs to Silliness
16 April 2013 7:55 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “The Sorcerer and the White Snake” is a title that suggests the sort of tall tale that would entrance a crowd of scouts around a camp fire. It’s chockfull of fantastical creatures and action-packed setpieces, but its shoddy special effects cause it to fall short of pure enchantment. As for the story itself, it’s pure silliness.
Jet Li receives top-billing solely because he happens to be Jet Li, but he could hardly be considered the main character. This is primarily a star-crossed romance between a good-hearted physician, Xu Xian (Raymond Lam), who unwittingly falls in love with a demonic snake that takes the form of a seductive woman (Eva Huang). Their love appears to be genuine, especially after the snake saves his life, but master monk Abott Fahai (played by a bored Li) won’t allow such an outlandish union to take place, inspiring gloriously silly dialogue like, »

How Many of the Movies from Roger Ebert's List of Great Movies Have You Seen?
10 April 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've mentioned before how several years ago I created a list using Roger Ebert's Great Movies, Oscar Best Picture winners, IMDb's Top 250, etc. and began going through them doing my best to see as many of the films on these lists that I had not seen as I possibly could to up my film I.Q. Well, someone has gone through the exhaustive effort to take all of the films Roger Ebert wrote about in his three "Great Movies" books, all of which are compiled on his website and added them to a Letterbxd list and I've added that list below. I'm not positive every movie on his list is here, but by my count there are 363 different titles listed (more if you count the trilogies, the Up docs and Decalogue) and of those 363, I have personally seen 229 and have added an * next to those I've seen. Clearly I have some work to do, »

He was Howard Stern's crazy grandfather, Don Imus's hip cousin, and Wolfman Jack's uber role model. He was the first reporter to hang out with the Beatles when mere mortals weren't allowed within a mile of them, Charles Mingus dug him so much that they improvised a talking/jam together the likes of which has never been equaled in jazz, and he had such a quibble with movie Dr. Strangelove that Stanley Kubrick's mother -- his Mother -- demanded that Stanley go talk to him about it (and after that Kubrick became his friend and begged him to be the voice of Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey, which he turned down). Shel Silverstein, the hippest kid-poet this side of Alice, looked up to him like a guru. Andy Kaufman called him a true comic genius. And, oh, along the way he authored a collection of »

Memories Of Roger Ebert
6 April 2013 7:38 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
On April 4th I was walking home at about 10pm in the dark, having just got off a train. I was coming from the cinema, where I had just seen the new G.I. Joe movie. As I walked I was checking the news and happened across a title on Google News from our very own WhatCulture! T.J. Barnard was reporting that the great film critic Roger Ebert had died, aged 70. I stopped in my tracks for a wee moment and thought about it: here’s a man I have been reading for years, a writer who didn’t offer theory and philosophy, instead he offered simple, honest opinion, the basis of all great writing. I continued to walk in the dark, my mood by now matching the sky.
I thought as I walked what every single one of us is going to think when we see Iron Man 3, »

To 'Room 237' and Beyond: Exploring Stanley Kubrick's 'Shining' influence with Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, more
6 April 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It was 45 years ago this weekend that Stanley Kubrick gave us 2001: A Space Odyssey, a vision of the future that still beckons, even if the title is out of date. Something similar can be said about the extraordinary artist who made the masterpiece. History tells us that Kubrick died in 1999 at the age of 70, but our current pop culture tells us that his singular genius remains relevant and challenging to those who make movies, those who consume movies, and those who write about movies for a living.

Movie Review: “Room 237″
4 April 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Since Stanley Kubrick’s “loose” adaptation of Stephen King’s novel debuted in 1980, many people have been unable to get it out of their heads. When the film came out, it wasn’t appreciated or lauded as it is today. Many deemed it a disappointment, a shell of Kubrick’s other master works, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange or Dr. Strangelove. Obviously, viewpoints shift, as The Shining is, to many, the scariest movie ever made. I know it’s up there for me.
But Rodney Ascher’s mesmerizing documentary, Room 237, puts the spotlight on five different people who have vastly different ideas about what Stanley Kubrick’s most divisive film was really about. It wasn’t just a horror movie; there were hidden meanings littered all over the place. Stanley Kubrick’s brilliance has only gained in stature as time has passed, and everyone, from »

Attack of the Trilogies
2 April 2013 6:49 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
E. B. White once wrote, “Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.” Analyzing trilogies seems to the same. The entire point is to enjoy them. Still, given the many sins to be found in film, there are worse things than movie trilogies but few have become more prominent or unavoidable. In terms of definitions, a trilogy only means three “individual” (animated, live-action, etc.) films are tied together which leaves a lot of room in seeing something as a trilogy.
Currently, negative reviews over trilogies highlight how easily and predictably they start off well but soon degenerate at a rapid pace. Then, too, there cases where once was good enough and added treatments are not welcome. David Lynch’s Dune thankfully has not become a trilogy though it sits there waiting to be given birth. In rare cases, yes, a trilogy may be badly called for. »

Raquel Welch helps Ringo Starr find the magic in The Magic Christian.
Directed by Joseph McGrath, the 1969 cult comedy film The Magic Christian starring Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther) and Ringo Starr comes from the pen of the brilliant Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove, Barbarella), based on his 1959 comic novel of the same name.
In the movie, Sir Guy Grand (Sellers), the richest man in the world, whimsically adopts a young homeless man (Starr) who he happens to meet by chance during a stroll in the park. Together they set off on a series of inspired escapades that comically attack the snobbery and hypocrisy of modern society. Moving from one misadventure to another, they have encounters with characters portrayed by such noteworthy performers as Richard Attenborough (The Great Escape), Laurence Harvey (Summer and Smoke), Raquel Welch (Hannie Caulder), Christopher Lee »

'Room 237': All 47 Movies Used in the Documentary About 'The Shining'
28 March 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"Room 237" is hardly your average documentary. Not only does it float some very out-there theories about what Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is really about, it illustrates those points with clips from both the 1980 horror classic and dozens of other movies. Every single shot in the film is from an existing flick, including ones from Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Spielberg, as well as classic horror movies and silent films. Moviefone sat down with director Rodney Ascher and producer Tim Kirk, who provided insight into some of their choices. In the same spirit of obsessiveness, we've compiled every movie featured in "Room 237," below “The Shining” "Lolita" "Spartacus" "Eyes Wide Shut" "Paths of Glory" "Barry Lyndon" "2001: A Space Odyssey" "The Killing" "Fear and Desire" "Killer's Kiss" "Dr. Strangelove" "A Clockwork Orange" “Full Metal Jacket" "Drums Along the Mohawk" "The Battle of Apache Pass" "The White Buffalo" "Sitting Bull at the »

Kubrick's Unmade 'Dr. Jazz,' Portrait of Swing-Loving Nazi Officer
25 March 2013 11:22 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
With news of Steven Spielberg taking over Stanley Kubrick's unmade dream project "Napoleon" as a TV mini-series, a fascinating article over at The Atlantic looks at another Kubrick project that never saw the light. "Swing Under the Nazis," written by Mike Zwerin and published in 1985, caught the director's eye due to a photo therein of a Luftwaffe officer posing with Jewish, black and Gypsy musicians outside a Paris jazz club. Kubrick thought the provocative image had a "Dr. Strangelove" feel, and gave the budding project a similar title: "Dr. Jazz." The German officer in question was Dietrich Schulz-Koehn, who, obsessed with "hot swing," published an underground newsletter reporting on the jazz scenes in cities under Nazi occupation. "Dr. Jazz" was the pen name Schulz-Koehn used for the illegal publication. A script never materialized, but not for lack of Kubrick's passion. The director's longtime assistant Tony Frewin, speaking to the Atlantic, »

‘I Know What The Shining Is Really About’: Inside the Crowded Cult at the Overlook Hotel
17 March 2013 6:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
TuesdayIt is the nature of obsession, the compulsion that causes the otherwise rational mind to charge into the labyrinth, to wrestle the obfuscating Minotaur within, and extract from the bull-man whatever morsel of meaning can be salvaged in this dumbed, flat world of ours. This was the quest, I felt, once again reviewing my fraught, evolving relationship with Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining, in which an incipiently insane Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson), his purposely oblivious wife (Shelley Duvall), and their oddly talented son, Danny, spend a particularly snowy winter at the supremely creepy Overlook Hotel.The movie came out in 1980, but my interconnect with the Kubrickian Kube long preceded that, back to the spring of 1964. That was when, as a high-school sophomore, I first saw Dr. Strangelove, the master’s glass-darkly comedy about what was then called “mutually assured destruction.” Finally, after a Cold War childhood spent »
