    I’ve only seen one Stanley Kubrick film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and I liked it very much. For my next foray into the venerated director’s filmography, I watched his previous picture: “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. My recent venture into black comedy with “MASH” didn’t go so well, but I was sure I’d like this Kubrick film. And I did like it, but I still think it shows that I am out of my element with this subgenre of black comedy. “Dr. Strangelove” tells the improbable but possible tale of what would happen if one fanatic, trigger-happy person unilaterally launched a nuclear attack on Russia during the height of the Cold War.…

    After viewing The Poseidon Adventure (1972) it’s interesting to examine the film and it’s intertextuality. For example at the time of the film’s release it was hot off the heels of the decades first big disaster film hit Airport (1970). That film was a massive box office success and was nominated for many academy awards including best picture. Making another disaster movie after Airport makes perfect sense since both films were based off popular novels and boasted a massive star studded cast. Obviously this string of disaster movies were important to the film industry at the time, since they brought in audiences and were considered critical successes.…

    Paragraph 1 Fawlty tower’s is a famous British television sitcom that invokes several different types of satirical and sarcastic types of humour. Thanks to the use of this humour the t.v. series was slowly gaining popularity and became known as one of the ‘’greats’’.

Paragraph 2 Basil Fawlty is the owner of the Fawlty towers hotel and is a crucial character to the Fawlty towers series,…
