Who's aeen it? give us the lowdown on the movie...

 

[Q]

yeah! I'm dying to hear if this is as good as it looks on the clips...I'm not much for going to the theater, but I would if I hear great reviews from real people.

 

[Gonzo]

listening to an ordinary joe on the local radio, it's a good movie but not for kids unless you really want to explain things throughout the entire thing * the ending is weird-
no sh*t-it was a Kubric project

 

[Neo]

So gonzo you havent seen it yet either?

 

[Gonzo]

no time

 

[unclehobart]

It has slid to 3rd place after only one week. Eep! Spielberg is going to get spanked over this one. I smell flop. Its got too much Kubrick in it... its way over everyones head.

 

[Neo]

see thats what i was afraid of UNC. If kubric wouldnt have been involved i think it would have done a lot better. But noooo he had to have it done his way, IM the damn producer so there

 

[Nixy]

This may sound really stupid but could someone please explain wha Kubric is to me? PLEASE?

 

[Gonzo]

Stanley Kubric-an American Icon in the field of Motion Picture Direction-he is amazing BUT you must be a film buff to understand most of his work. He did (he died in the last 24 months) Clockwork Orange(what the **** was that movie about anyway), 2001: a space odessey, full metal jacket, the shining-among others-very unusual director

 

[unclehobart]

Don't forget Dr.Strangelove. Lots of his stuff is cinematic gold. Its high quality and a bit disturbing in nature.

Eyes Wide Shut - 1999
Full Metal Jacket -1987
The Shining - 1980
Barry Lyndon -1975
A Clockwork Orange -1971
2001: A Space Odyssey -1968
Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb - 1964
Lolita -1962
Spartacus -1960
Paths Of Glory -1957
The Killing -1956
Killer's Kiss -1955
Fear And Desire -1953

...almost forgot about Spartacus. It won a ton of awards even though Kubrick almost disowned it. The owning studio almost completely pull the rug out from under him as a director. He moved to England shortly thereafter and refused to make another film unless he had total control.

 

[Gonzo]

I didn't know about Spartucus:cool

 

[sicmun]

AI was really good and even though he wasn't involved it was still an awsome production that you thought he was a part of. Jude Law and Haley Joel Osmond (sorry for spelling) were really teriffic actors and I don't think that anyone else could act those parts better.
