If you haven’t seen “The Wisconsin Death Trip” - Do so. It is a collection of newspaper articles and photography from the mid 1800’s from the archives of Wisconsin newspapers. According to the movie, a lot of really strange things occured in Wisconsin during this short period of time such as: Children comitting murder, a wealthy heiress snorting cocaine and breaking windows of local businesses, and Husbands killing their entire famileis. Also, there are extremely rare photos of children’s funerals - back in those days, many children died - their parents would hire a photographer to photo the body for a keepsake. It sound gory, but it is done in good taste. Other documentaries I own include:

Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures
[/quote]
This is really great! I have it too. Wonderful way to learn about Kubrick.
Before I knew anything about Stanley Kubrick, I knew that three of my favorite movies were The Shining, Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket. When I learned that he made those films I was astonished…all of these film fanatics talk about this guy and probably only like him because everyone else in this circle likes him…because of his name and reputation- I didn’t know him from Adam but liked his films…this is why he was so great - because he made great films…unlike woody allen!

Kubrick was fat, he wore glasses, he had a beard, and he was ill-tempered.

What have this statements to do with his abilities as a film maker?

Biohazard was skinny, had no muscles, and his brain was weak due to bad breeding

yeah it really is, i got the book too
it really cuts through my soul when Tom Cruise says “there will never ever be another Kubrick film, we’ll never have that experience again” cause that made me realise … "holy shit, he’s right!"
Stanley didn’t do anything for 12 years, he regreted that and i’ll never forgive him, he had the idea for a Napoleon Bonaparte film but squashed it when Waterloo came out, i’d sacrifice everything and everyone i have to see that film, would be magical
very very fine documentary, belongs in the “films you saw twice in a row”-thread for me 8)
edit: stop with fucking around in threads Kilgore and Biohazard, it’s extremely annoying

This topic is about Kubrick; so please fuck off and die you twat, thank you and good day. I love Kubrick. I’m just saying he’s a mean old bastard, or used to be one. 2001 Space Odysee is a classic.
