39. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

An insane general triggers a path to nuclear holocaust that a War Room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop. Stanley Kubrick brilliantly satirized the Cold War tensions between the US and Russia in Dr. Strangelove, a black comedy that he wrote, directed, and produced. Even more brilliant, he criticized the ridiculous idea of mutually assured destruction. The concept of mutually assured destruction, or … Continue reading 39.

Stream of Consciousness Review: Child’s Play (1988)

Do we all actually remember the premise to Child’s Play? Because it’s weird as hell. This kid…obsessed much? Of course the doll is called Good Guy. That life size doll in the commercial is HORRIFYING. There is far too much sugar involved in this breakfast this kid is making. This kid, Andy, just reinforces my never wanting children. Who puts jeans in a box like … Continue reading Stream of Consciousness Review: Child’s Play (1988)
