"The Korova Milk Bar" or the Stanley Kubrick thread.

There's an excellent picture in the life in pictures book with a chess piece on a chair with a sign saying 'strict continuity do not touch'.

It's annoying that one of the greatest directors of all time gets about two pages. While some FHM model who will be forgotten in a few years time gets fifty pages of drooling fanboy's.

Also check my new sig.t:

Lolt:.
Great sig, love that Kubrick quote.

Because you can't fap to Kubrick.

Lol. Good point.
If fap means what I think it does, I suppose that technically you could do it to the naked lady in the shower in Shining but you'd have to be really fast before she turns into that old witchlike woman.

Yeah I really got a lot out of those youtube videos I posted links to. Glad you did too gwynplaine.

His idea of the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey is really really cool. He thinks Kubrick visually based it off of a rectangular cinema screen. I suggest you listen to his interpretation.

I did and thought it was very interesting. I had never heard such an interpretation and really enjoyed it. That person knows his Kubrick for sure. Thanks again for the links.

Also check my new sig.t:

Yeah I would like to say something about this quote.
It's often use to defend a point of view that nothing can't be adapted to the screen but SK most certainly did say this BEFORE he tried to do a "The Perfume" movie.
While trying to adapt the novel, he realized that there were no point of doing a movie of it because it's the specificity of the novel medium that make it so great. (sorry i don't speak english very well i hope you understand what i'm trying to say)
So : No, anything that can be thought or written cannot be filmed, because there is things that films cannot adapt.

(i hope I didn't wake up watchmen fanboys with my postt

Come onnn.. you need to relax. Kubrick is food for the head. The upper one.

Anyone ever see The Killing? It's early Kubrick and it looks like The Dark Knight's robbery has a certain sense of an homage, also for Michael Mann's Heat.

I really love 2001, though. Such ambitious filmmaking, so well-thought out and deliberately executed, and so great to watching after smoking a blunt.

Well done, I didn't even think about that and I love The Killing.

Agreed with theShape.

2001: can be seen by the same person, over the course of a lifetime and still reveal itself in slightly different ways upon each viewing.

me and a friend, we watched 2001: A Space Odyssey 4/5 times

I like how Kubrick makes Hal's death much sadder and emotional than the passing of a human. Oh and [A], your new avvy rocks.

I'm the Boogie Man

Lol. One of my favourite scene in the film. Back on track, I bet Kubrick would have liked the comediant: (oops wrong smilie).

as the thread father (?), you should type some funny stuff every once in a while, so we can yak about

You can fap to anything if you but your mind to it.

I don't know about funny stuff but I can post some trivia (that Kubrick fans probably already know anyway) every now and then.
Kubrick was a big fan of Steve Martin's The Jerk and for a while he wanted him to be the lead in Eyes Wide Shut. Martin even visited with Kubrick in his british estate and they played, what else, chess.
EWS would have probably been a very different movie with Steve Martin in the lead.

 

[nite-owl]

Kurbrick was also rumoured to be a fan of White Men Can't Jump.

[gwynplaine]

A Kubrick quote that I like : " I want it big, Vince... Lon Chaney big."

Kubrick to Vincent D'Onofrio right before shooting the famous bathroom scene in Full Metal Jacket. Also Kubrick shot bathroom beautifully, like that scene between Delbert Grady and Jack in The Shining, a movie Kubrick considered optimistic because it implied that there was something after death.

 

[gwynplaine]

Kurbrick was also rumoured to be a fan of White Men Can't Jump.

Lol. That's cool. I read somewhere that K was watching every film even the worst ones (not referring to White Men can't jump which was actually pretty good) because according to him there was always something worthy in them (a scene, an actor etc...)

I can't imagine Kubrick watching a Bay film.

Lol, funny I was thinking the same thing but with an Uwe Boll movie.
