Default 40th Anniversary of 2001:A Space Odyssey

In article GcednVMikdrigGXanZ2dnUVZ_vyinZ2d@northdakotatelep hone,
says...
Kubrick's best-remembered film won't be that; Kubrick's perfect legacy
will be "Dr. Strangelove"... one of the most brilliantly funny movies
ever made.


Also one of the most pornographic. I've been long amazed that Lolita was
nearly sexless, but just the opening credits of Strangelove is arguably
the most explicit sexual scene of any major motion picture, ever. The
long cylindrical forms of the airframes, the flying probe and drogue.
And, at the moment of completion, that little visible spurt of the
fluids from the one on top with the probe to the one underneath who was
accepting the fluids of life...

(Yes, even more more explicit than the famous orgy sequence of Eyes Wide
Shut.)
