So, this is an early character study of a functional sociopath, right?

:lol:

Shame about the South's self-loathing;  up here in the Norff, the local art theaters were showing both Fail-Safe and Dr. Strangelove revivals this weekend.

I recently rewatched Fail Safe on TCM.  :)

And I TiVo'd that broadcast AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

Man, it's like there's a connection between us, only you got all the success.

Off hand, probably a B47.


Oh,maybe there was a B58 Hustler involved too, I think I've only seen both the original and remake one each.

My memory is of a single engine plane.

Wait, are you talking about the one that goes off the rez or the other one?

Ed Anger

I thought the bomber was a B-58 Hustler too.

They could have used Delta Dart footage too.

Can remember the plot much, the one that goes on to bomb  Moscow.

Probably m.imdb.com has a the answers.

They were actually Convair Hustlers.  The interceptors that burned out over the pole were Delta Darts.

I started a free one month promo of Netflix now (they only came to Germany a week or two ago). Underwhelmed by the amount of movies on offer. Series look okay though, even if some well-known ones (e.g. GoT, Homeland) are missing.

I'm currently watching The Blacklist on netflix.
