Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb[edit]

The article seems well written, though the lead section could use another two paragraphs. Any other suggestions? --209.2.60.76 20:20, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Needs references!
Some of the entries (such as Simpsons, Star Trek etc.) in the Trivia section could be collected under a heading of Dr.Strangelove in Pop Culture
In the last part of the Cast and Crew section, try turning the one-line sentences into prose.

I agree the article is badly in need of references. On the whole it reads quite well and has good organization. One note in the opening paragraph: please change Mr. Kubrick's attribution to "directed by." The phrase "a film by" implies POV support of the disputed auteur theory.

One of my favorite movies. A couple points, both in the "Cast & Crew" section:

  *I feel that the word pussy when dicussing President Merkin Muffley's
character is unnecessarily crass for a featured article.
  *"Sellers' experience mimicking superiors as an RAF Airman during World War II must have helped."

This is an interesting observation, but the word "must" seems rather strong for an unreferenced observation. Perhaps "may"? --Scottsrs 06:29, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The "pussy" reference is mildly crass, but worth mentioning, in a movie in which most everyone's name is a pun, often on something sexual and/or obscene (Buck Turgidson, King Kong, Bat Guano and Jack D Ripper are all examples). Muffley's weak attitude and constant bickering with the phallic Turgidson both justify the use of the word - Dharmabum420 01:18, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
