it's hard to get an orgy of beautiful people going
if you can manage 50% beautiful people in the orgy it's pretty much a miracle
but probably 2/3 will be sub 5s
basically the more people participate the less likely you'll get hot people in it
only reason i bring this up is because you try keeping your dick hard with people you don't find attractive

They've dicked around with the aspect on recent Blus supposedly. Bad cropping and suchlike compared to some older versions on DVD.

i still find Kidman's laughing fit in the pot scene a riot
had forgotten almost the entire Marie Richardson lascivious grieving episode
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 24 June 2018 19:03 (five years ago) link
that whole scene is incredible. those curtains...
are the uncensored scenes on the blu ray or did you see a screening? how much more explicit is it really? like someone said upthread (i think), part of what's funny/interesting/scary about the orgy is how stiff and non-erotic it is.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 24 June 2018 21:32 (five years ago) link
I'm talking about the fact that the US release obscured the pelvic areas of the orgiasts with CG onlookers -- "the Austin Powers version," as Roger Ebert called it. Just a reminder that American culture was infantilized even before the Orange Grifter showed up.
Even unobscured, the sex is mechanical and non-erotic, as Kubrick intended.
there are at least 3 brilliant "character" roles filled here:
- the aforementioned Marie Richardson
- Rade Serbedzija as the costume shop owner who ultimately pimps out his daughter
- Alan Cumming as the hotel desk clerk, one of the funniest 3-minute performances in cinema annals (Franklin Pangborn would be proud)

Sydney Pollack for me. No one did smarmy gravitas so well. It's a shame he never made a Phil Jackson biopic.

I've come around to really admiring this film. No to the Alan Cumming reception scene, though. I think he comes across as some sort of grotesque gay stereotype - maybe that's the point I guess what with "Are we in the good doctor's head? " and all. Must rewatch.

They were up until the 2007 release, which is what i just watched.
hey guess what, for a lot of hotel desk clerks that gay stereotype is true.

It would never have occurred to me that this was the case:
“In some of the scenes, the backgrounds were rear-projection plates,” the cinematographer reveals. “Generally, when Tom’s facing the camera, the backgrounds are rear-projected; anything that shows him from a side view was done on the streets of London. We had the plates shot in New York by a second unit [that included cinematographers Patrick Turley, Malik Sayeed and Arthur Jafa]. Once the plates were sent to us, we had them force-developed and balanced to the necessary levels. We’d then go onto our street sets and shoot Tom walking on a treadmill. After setting the treadmill to a certain speed, we’d put some lighting effects on him to simulate the glow from the various storefronts that were passing by in the plates. We spent a few weeks on those shots.”
Alan Cumming scene is great.

The whole thing definitely had the feel of being shot on sets. The couple of b-roll shots (maybe a freeway exit or such?) felt really out of place. The rest of it feels kind of like an 80s video.

there aren't many reasonable encounters in this film! mostly at the mechanical orgy.
Cumming said they shot his scene for a week, and that Kubrick laughed a lot.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 14:51 (five years ago) link
if you know downtown Manhattan well, and that Cruise was never on those streets because Kubrick wasn't, you could surmise that something like that projection process was done.

yes. specifically this one that has the same plot as EWS.

I admire this movie and how it was made a lot more than I like it. Probably my least favourite Kubrick

I rewatch this every couple of years. I'm not sure how much it has to say--If I were married, maybe it would seem more profound to me. The good thing is, you can also look past all that and just enjoy it as bizarre, good-looking junk. One annoying tic that I really noticed this time is the way 37% of Tom Cruise's lines amount to him repeating what's just been said to him. ("Come inside with me. I just live over there." "Come inside with you?") Weirdness everywhere. When Cruise drops into Nick Nightengale's club for the first time, the waiter asks him if he wants a drink; Cruise asks for a beer, and the waiter goes off to get him a beer. There's no mention of what kind of beer--evidently this particular club only carries one generic beer. And the newspaper headline on the model's overdose: "Ex-beauty queen in hotel drugs overdose." Is that even remotely grammatical?
