I just watched Dr. Strangelove a couple of days ago, for the first time in more than 30 years ...

What a movie ! I was more able to admire the acting, the pacing, and direction this time than I could at the age of 19. But the satire was exactly as sharp as I remembered it ... it was like watching an episode of Monty Python with friends who have memorized all the scripts.

BTW, did you know about "The Firecracker Boys" ? A great read !
