Dr. Strangelove Dr. Strangelove

In Dr. Strangelove Dr. Strangelove, Kristan Horton imitates the satirical movie Dr. Strangelove and creates a new world for the film—silverware become an airplane, plastic and coffee grounds become the sky. [via]
Very cool. Strangelove is my favorite movie of all time. Love the coffee grounds against trash bag shot to make it look like mountains poking through the clouds.

Seconding batmonkey. Oh, and from the linked interview, the artist's very first quote is...
"I don’t have a television."
A Kubrick resample by a television-free Canadian artist? Isn't that a Metafilter Trifecta?

On no account will a Commie ever watch television, and not without good reason.

I like this little collection of quirky visual puns. What I hate is the kind of Artspeak that seems to always accompany this type of thing:
The connections between Kubrick’s film and Horton’s photographs demonstrate the power of familiar sights, sounds, ideas, and objects to change the way we look at cultural icons.
What a load of pompous hooey. The artist made some charming little constructions out of forks and such. It's cute, creative, fun, etc., but guess what? It doesn't "change" how I look at "cultural icons". Jesus christ. Go write a grant proposal and get outta my face.

OMG, we've been targeted by explosive comic vision!
