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.

Finally found out why Harvey Keitel got fired by Kubrick while making Eyes Wide Shut. Gary Oldman on the specific reason here & the general principle of it for Mr Keitel underneath. pic.twitter.com/RilIs25sMT— Tom Reaganās Hat (@RufusTSuperfly) May 13, 2022

keitel otm, another dumb and bad film, sorry anthony, sorry morbs kubrick only made one good film and this isn't it
― mark s, Saturday, 14 May 2022 17:15 (one year ago) link
wrong!!!!!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 14 May 2022 17:23 (one year ago) link
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

iām sure olā stan was a frustrating guy to work for at times but āi had to walk through a doorway a bunch of timesā 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)
― mark s, Saturday, 14 May 2022 18:38 (one year ago) link
how odd. that's not the one I think is his good one. one of us must be wrong!
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 14 May 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
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

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

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.

Iāve heard pollack somewhere make basically the same complaint about doing that role, but iirc his attitude was more āthis is confusing and annoying but it still beats workingā
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Sunday, 15 May 2022 18:42 (one year ago) link
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.

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

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:

one of the least erotic film about sex I know

Sex itself is, I think, pretty low on the list of things this movie's about but ymmv
― Dwigt Rortugal (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 October 2023 18:38 (six months ago) link
really? āletās fuckā?
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 19:15 (six months ago) link
The last line of the picture, and itās just āFuck.ā (And itās a punchline.)
― Dwigt Rortugal (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 October 2023 19:41 (six months ago) link
okay well i mean donāt be coy the idea idea that eyes wide shut isnāt about sex is an unusual one you have to admit, say more
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 22:10 (six months ago) link
I'd say it's about the fear of sex?

The podcast is a treasure obviously but I forgot how Longworth hits all her ātās āEroTic eighTiesā .. frankly itās 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

Her delivery has definitely gotten more arch and affected over the years, to the point that if youāre not highly invested in the content, itās practically unlistenable
― Dwigt Rortugal (Eric H.), Wednesday, 18 October 2023 13:06 (six months ago) link
She used to get criticised a lot online for not ennunciating properly and has overcorrected. Can't win.

(Which means it'll be a good match for Kubrick)
Roffle. I roll with it, it's fine! Met her years ago well before the podcast started, she's a good sort.
