To spell it out, Lyndon's opponent in '64 was a guy named Barry.

yeah, i got that part (Goldwater/Lyndon). I thought the main gag was that Dr Strangelove might have been influenced by an ad that came after it was made

the first part of Full Metal Jacket seemed a lot funnier than I remember it being when I first watched it

saw Eyes Wide Shut again after many years, I was reminded that behind the erotic thriller it is about a relationship in trouble

there were a lot of really enigmatic moments though, that were hard to incorporate into the story and which made me wonder what else was going on

Two friends and I covered Kubrick's whole career in these monthly Zooms we've been doing. This one's split into eight parts, the kind of thing you can pick up wherever. Generally speaking, I'm a fan, Steven (for the most part) isn't, Scott's somewhere in between, I think we got a little tired the farther we got into it. I followed up by reading Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece--obsessively detailed, made me want to watch it again (I'm an arm's-length admirer), but wow, a lot of the descriptions of what they were up to were so abstract for me. I just didn't understand a lot of the technical stuff.

Thanks, J.D. For all my befuddlement, recommend that book, too. I'm at least clearer on some of the film's most basic plot points.

inspired by Blank Check podcast’s Kubrick series, watching Spartacus for the first timenot to state the obvious but goddamn what a great movie. I love this epic stuff.

So the people behind the Filmworker documentary have completed another Kubrick-related documentary called SK-13, and some interesting information about Eyes Wide Shut being edited even after his death.

I thought that it was known from the beginning that the film wasn’t entirely finished when he died
