That <i>is</i> disturbing.<br /><br />Given your Missus' sensitivity on the matter of your appreciation of other ladies, I can't help thinking it was rather foolhardy of you to be discussing Tracy Reed with her at all.<br /><br />I've mentioned <i>Strangelove</i> on here a few times before - one of my 10 Greatest Experiences In The Cinema, one of the first of my monthly 'Film Lists', for example. And I've embedded clips of General Ripper's 'precious bodily fluids' speech and President Muffley's one-sided telephone conversation with the Russian Premier ("Let me finish, Dmitri...").<br /><br />I had a quick look through the IMDB entry on the film while I was preparing this, and - dipping into the 'worst' end of the reviews - found it thoroughly depressing to discover how many IMDB users just don't "get" it.<br /><br /><br />I look forward to your post on <i>Strangelove</i> - sooner rather than later, please. How old were you when you first saw it? Having lived through the Cuba Missile Crisis as a boy, you probably feel resonances in it that I can barely imagine.Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211251.post-74753306043056006372010-05-22T16:14:04.629+00:002010-05-22T16:14:04.629+00:00We seem to have transcended the plane of mere coin...We seem to have transcended the plane of mere coincidental interests here... I could have sworn you and I had a conversation here or at my place about Ms. Reed, because I remembered reading about her sometime within the last few months, and then telling someone what I'd read, and, well, of course if I'd not had that conversation with YOU, then who else...??? <br /><br />Alas, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=strangelove+scott+OR+reed+site%3Afroogville.blogspot.com+OR+site%3Athebarprop.blogspot.com+OR+site%3Ajohnesimpson.com" rel="nofollow">a Google search</a> of my place and your two, including the comments, turned up only a single reference... this post itself. (Although it currently appears twice, once as the Froogville home page and once in its own right.)<br /><br />Then I remembered: it was a conversation I'd had with The Missus, to or fro work one day recently. I forget why I'd looked up Ms. Reed in the first place, maybe just thinking of doing a general <em>Strangelove</em> post or something.<br /><br />I may even have mentioned your Fantasy Girlfriend series in the context, but that's probably just overthinking the moment.<br /><br />Followed your link back to the earlier Mrs Peel/Fantasy Girlfriend post. Entertaining scrap of dialogue there between reader omg and yourself!JEShttp://johnesimpson.com/noreply@blogger.com
