Mein Führer! I can walk!


I think it's time for another husband. Just watched Lolita for the first time in years - quite an awkward video rental experience back when I was 14 - and was reminded of how awesome Peter Sellers is. In Dr Strangelove, he's responsible for one of the best one-sided phone conversations I've ever heard: ("Well listen, how do you think I feel about it?... Can you imagine how I feel about it, Dmitri? Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello? Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello!")

Most importantly though, he's a dreamboat. Look at those glasses! What I would give to be Vivian Darkbloom, resting on his arm and whatnot. Too bad he was an alcoholic. And a bit of a dick. Although it's hard to find comedic geniuses who aren't.

Am I right?

Am I right?

Tough crowd.
