    I just watched this movie on Hulu last night.  I thought it would be good to see one of the most acclaimed movies of all time, and I hadn't gotten around to doing it before.For those of you who have seen it, what did you think?  Was the political satire pretty cutting?  What was the point of intertwining sexuality with messages of war and military?  Do you agree with Kubrick's message?  Other thoughts?

    I'll have to watch it before they take it off.

    You might like it, or at least parts of it.  You'll have to keep in mind that it's supposed to be a dark comedy….not a “laugh out loud” kind of comedy but an intellectual satire full of irony.
