Talking Stanley Kubrick

Ok, I just finished watching The Shining for the first time in years. And after that all I can say is that Kubrick is awesome. Personally, I think The Shining way better than FMJ and Clockwork Orange. He used steady cam so damn effective. (Im all about steady cam ;) )

The Shining and Full Metal Jacket are classics. I enjoy Spielberg and I love what he did with A.I., but I would love to see what Kubrick had planned for it.

One of the first films to make use of the steady cam, actually. Great director. Even Eyes Wide Shut had its scary moments. :)

he has made allot of great movies, the dude was insane though
I don't know the number, but once he asked over 100 takes of sherry duvall for a scene in the shining, just to make it right
he wanted to be perfect in everyway

anyone seen 2001: a space odessey
now, this movie looks boring, but if you know what's it about it's really cool

It's rumored the reason he never got around to making A.I. was that he wanted an actual android to play that part of the little boy. Pretty wild stuff.

Kubrick was an amazing director. The Shining, Clockwork Orange and Dr Strangelove are my favorites. Can't say I was to happy at Speilberg doing A.I i thought it sucked Speilberg is a total hack he hasn't done anything exciting since the 70s.
