Amongst some.
I mean.
If you listen to "Herr".
Herr Friend.
Do you all really want to understand Kubrick?
Well then how about starting by undressing yourselves.
Kubrick wasn't all that. His intelligence was limited.
But his art transcended all our wildest expectations.
Do you understand what 'art' is about?
Fuck you.
My dog just choked on itself.
I'm lucky I didn't.
Welcome to the next.
EWS is about prostitution.
HaHA HI HI
Notice how Tom wants to sove everything with money. Notice how Nicole just wants to look pretty. Notice their daughter. Especially in the final scene in the warehouse, during a "Christmas" sale. Pimping the bitch.
Look beyond what "Christmas" represents, particularly in mystical traditions.. beyond the Eleusinian mysteries.
Trust me. If you think you've got Kubrick figured out, then you are an idiot.
Don't be ashamed.
That's life.

The fiery exclamation came during a round table interview with THR after it was revealed that director David Fincher frequently took around fifty takes to get the perfect shot whilst filming The Social Network. Fellow interviewees Mark Ruffalo and Jesse Eisenberg laugh (perhaps with disdain?) as Duvall compares Fincher to Kubrick. No doubt a comparison like that would normally be considered flattering, but Duvall continued, dismissing the performances in such classics as The Shining and A Clockwork Orange as “the worst performances I’ve ever seen in movies”.

minstrel wrote:I've seen both The Shining and A Clockwork Orange, and those performances are good. Duvall seems to have some private grudge against Kubrick or his methods. For Duvall to state that these are the worst performances he's ever seen says more about Duvall than about Kubrick. I think Duvall is a good actor, but I don't like where his brain has wound up.

In related news, I will soon be able to sleep 17 minutes longer.

And I'll stay awake. I generally do for Kubrick.

I wonder how it in a salt-mine (or how someone forgot it was there).
It will never be recut into the film. His estate may not even allow it to be released on it's own.
Two, Kubrick himself reportedly cut the footage from the film because he felt it created pacing issues.

for all the 2001 haters out there, that has to be one of the funniest/most ironic sentences evar.
“The additional footage from 2001: A Space Odyssey has always existed in the Warner vaults. When [director Stanley] Kubrick trimmed the 17 minutes from 2001 after the NY premiere, he made it clear the shortened version was his final edit. The film is as he wanted it to be presented and preserved and Warner Home Video has no plans to expand or revise Mr. Kubrick’s vision.”

The only claim to fame the former had was that it may've hastened poor Stanley's demise, so hard he worked on the bloody thing. And for what? It was probably his worst flick. Ludicrous.

Don Kaye wrote:In honor of what would have been director Stanley Kubrick's 83rd birthday on this date, we reveal what might have been the real reason HAL 9000 sang "Daisy Bell" in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Remember how in Kubrick's 1968 visionary science fiction masterpiece, astronaut Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) is forced to shut the supercomputer HAL 9000 down after it malfunctions and kills the rest of the crew on their Jupiter-bound spacecraft? Well, as Bowman unplugs HAL's connections one by one, the machine sort of has a flashback to its very first day of operation, when it demonstrated its abilities by singing a song.
The song? "Daisy Bell," written in 1892 by Harry Dacre. But where did Kubrick get the idea to use that particular tune?
It turns out that in 1961, the IBM 7094, among the earliest and largest mainframe machines developed by the computing giant, became the first computer to sing, and the tune it warbled was—you guessed it—"Daisy Bell." The vocals were programmed by John Kelly and Carol Lockbaum, while the musical accompaniment was programmed by Max Mathews. It seems certain that Kubrick used this as the inspiration for HAL's signoff in his movie.
A recording of the IBM 7094's rendition is below. We think HAL's got a smoother voice, but the 7094's performance was more historic by far.
