Eyes Wide Shut

that video game theory is p cool, eyes wide shut does kind of have an fmv horror game feeling about it

same Alba

the whole simulacrum thing is just kubrick 101 post-lolita. there is a quote by him about how film is not a photograph of reality, but a photograph of a photograph of a reality.

That was the first (failed) attempt to use the heart attack gun on Stanley.

Finally found out why Harvey Keitel got fired by Kubrick while making Eyes Wide Shut.

keitel otm, another dumb and bad film, sorry anthony, sorry morbs kubrick only made one good film and this isn't it

wrong!!!!!

keitel was otm. telling an actor he can't walk through a door properly after 68 takes is disrespectful in the extreme. and fucking crazy, too.

mark s should specify which kubrick film he thinks is the one good one, so everyone who likes just one kubrick film can see if they agree which one is the good one

keitel otm, another dumb and bad film, sorry anthony, sorry morbs kubrick only made one good film and this isn't it

it's a strongly worded opinion. like most of yours.

i’m sure ol’ stan was a frustrating guy to work for at times but “i had to walk through a doorway a bunch of times” is not exactly a chilling tale of directorial tyranny run rampant

for some reason i thought this was the kubrick film mark s thought was good!

barry lyndon is the one that IS good (implausibly good)

how odd. that's not the one I think is his good one. one of us must be wrong!

barry lyndon is truly awesome but come on eyes wide shut is a dream!!!!

keitel: he made me walk through a door 68 times

me: sounds like a kubrick movie

I would guess this dumbass hasn't seen Paths Of Glory.

me? no

im not going to either

No director should demand anything of an actor with the range of Winston Wolfe to Arkansas State Police Detective Hal Slocumb.

lol this is disgusting

people on side kubrick re: this topic need some perspective

I just watched the Cannibal Holocaust ep of Cursed Films, and from that perspective, yeah, team Kubrick

not sure which film I had a worse time in the cinema watching, eyes wide shut or a.i., I think the eyes have it.

I’ve heard pollack somewhere make basically the same complaint about doing that role, but iirc his attitude was more “this is confusing and annoying but it still beats working”

I can easily envision Keitel in that role--he'd probably lose some of Pollack's superficial slickness, otherwise he would have been a good fit.

that's how they made half of The Mandalorian iirc

eyes wide shut needed more baby yoda

False, Mandalorian needed more of Tom Cruise getting gay-bashed

😱

Quite a piece which deploys the book (and film) a bit

I rarely write personal essays, but this time I did, about the stickiest of all conversations we might have with our significant others.https://t.co/xJdBYFL4sJ

You Must Remember This is coming to the end of its Erotic 80s/90s seasons and I believe is wrapping it up with a two-parter on EWS. First episode is up:

Honestly, give her the Peabody

Rather!

one of the least erotic film about sex I know

*s

Sex itself is, I think, pretty low on the list of things this movie's about but ymmv

really? “let’s fuck”?

The last line of the picture, and it’s just “Fuck.” (And it’s a punchline.)

okay well i mean don’t be coy the idea idea that eyes wide shut isn’t about sex is an unusual one you have to admit, say more

I'd say it's about the fear of sex?

It's "We fuck" isn't it?

"You know, there is something very important that we need to do as soon as possible"
"What's that?"
"Fuck"

Schooled!

The podcast is a treasure obviously but I forgot how Longworth hits all her “t”s “EroTic eighTies” .. frankly it’s not just that, her whole Chef John intonation drives me to distraction. but i will listen for the info :)

She veers very very close to Moira Rose territory

It’s been driving me crazy all day just needed to share

Her delivery has definitely gotten more arch and affected over the years, to the point that if you’re not highly invested in the content, it’s practically unlistenable

She used to get criticised a lot online for not ennunciating properly and has overcorrected. Can't win.

It's close enough to an incantatory delivery that I look forward to listening
