No, I haven't seen the movie either but, from what I've gathered, I think Jan has it nailed down. Also, I just recently read an interview with Kubrick by Terry Southern entitled "Checkup with Doctor Strangelove" in a book called "Killed: Great Journalism Too Hot to Print", edited by David Wallis (the article was killed by Esquire in 1963). Retrospect is always nice and 20/20 but, in this case, it was also funny and dead-on-accurate. And Kubrick was always a few steps ahead of the rest of the pack.
