| - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying, Sit Down and Relax for a Bit, Try and Read or Something, Maybe Eat a Cheese Sandwich, and Basically Do Anything Other Than Obsessively Think About Being Obliterated in a Massive Nuclear Explosion is the short name of a black comedy by chronic masturbator Stanley Kubrick that theorizes what would happen if twelve thousand clones of Peter Sellers were put in charge of the United States government. Its complete title is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying, Sit Down and Relax for a Bit, Try and Read or Something, Perhaps Some Nietzsche or Other Such Intellectual Rot, Maybe Eat a Cheese Sandwich, Lightly Toasted On White Bread With Some Orange Juice (But No Pulp) And Perhaps an Ice Cube or Two, Then Rent a Movie, Preferably an Action Comedy Starring Jackie Chan (a Guilty Pleasure of Mine), Go Out and Party, Generally Have a Good Time, and Basically Do Anything Other Than Obsessively Think About Being Obliterated in a Massive Nuclear Explosion, and Perhaps Even Come to the Point of Loving the Idea of Atomic Weapons. The full name was used in the title sequence, which consequently accounted for half the duration of the film, as well as early commercials for the film, which were soon cancelled because they were longer than the film itself. Like all of Kubrick's movies, the story was based on an obscure, neglected tone poem composed by Richard Strauss, which has a title so long no one has ever bothered to type it or even read the whole thing. The melody was so incredibly long it only manages to get repeated twice in the entire composition. Thus, no one ever plays it. Some other parts of the story, however, were based on the book Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Aleeeeeeeeeeeert!!. The movie is not to be confused with Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, which is an entirely different film altogether. The movie Fail-Safe was claimed to be a huge ripoff of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying, Sit Down and Relax for a Bit, Try and Read or Something, Maybe Eat a Cheese Sandwich, and Basically Do Anything Other Than Obsessively Think About Being Obliterated in a Massive Nuclear Explosion, but this was found to be not true on the basis that the names of the characters were different. Fail-Safe, however, remains an unfunny movie nobody knows of, much less cares about.
