Dr. Strangelove - Water Flouridation


I watched Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" (1964) on Christmas 2013 for the first time and was totally caught by surprise with this scene about Water Flouridation.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol


My belief is that Mission Impossible and James Bond films are funded by tech and military technology companies and the movies are 2 hour commercial showcases / infomercials.  For instance, i read that BMW paid $10 million to have the BMW i8 in the movie.  So when I go to see these films, i am blocking out the plot and focusing on spotting the technology.  Mission Impossible 4 had a lot of technology in the 2 hour film.

Another blogger already made a great post describing the tech in more detail, and it can be found here.
Below are the notes i took while watching the movie.

  1. Portable Cushion Bomb to Jump off Buildings and have a safe landing.
  2. Medical: Eyes and Teeth inspection for identity
