Dr. Strange v Dr. Strangelove

DC & Marvel

KMIT November 5

'Dr. Strangelove (1964) vs. Doctor Strange (2016)'

It has been a busy weekend. Tonight my friends are driving me to Dr. Strange or Dr. Strangelove, whatever it is...I have not seen either film.

I was planning on watching, whatever it is, on domestic cable eventually, but I guess I will be social, once again this weekend.

The plot?

Cited with 'alterations'.

'“Dr. Strangelove” is a black comedy from the Cold War where it tells the story of an insane American general who launches a squadron of nuclear bombers on an unauthorized attack against the Soviet Union; this desperation leads him to the Far East where he encounters a woman called The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton).'

I did not know that Marvel hired the late Peter Sellers or is it Bill Cosby?

Of course, relatively a very late manuscript, therefore making the 'devilish' non-biblical additions of the scribe, more likely with the passing of time.

Russell Norman Murray Cited: 'The codex is 92cm tall, 50 cm wide, 22 cm thick, and weighs 74,8 kg. It has 620 pages and is bound in a leather covered wooden folder that is decorated with metal shaped designs. It contains a number of parts as well as many historical documents all written in Latin: The complete Vulgate Latin translation of the bible, The Old and New Testaments, The standard textbook for teaching medicine in the Middle Ages known as Ars medicinae, the Chronicle of the Bohemians, a calendar, two works of Josephus Flavius and more...' 

'It is thought to have been created in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia (Czech Republic). It is believed that the creator of the Codex was the Benedictine monk Herman the Recluse who was a resident of the monastery...'

'According to legend, the monk produced the manuscript in just one night with the devil’s help. Because he broke his monastic vows he promised to create a book to glorify the monastery forever, but when he became sure that he could not complete this task alone he prayed to Lucifer to help him in exchange for his soul...'
