Lazarus - I was posting this yesterday while we were discussing but was pulled from the computer for family affairs and didn't get back for a few hours. Anyways, I hope there's no hard feelings because I enjoy your posts too much. And I'd hate to think everytime you see my name you'll be saying to yourself "what an a-hole".
Unlike some reviewers who you mentioned may have had an agenda before the fact, I was excited about seeing this film because like I said, I was a huge Kubrick fan (certainly not a film major or anything like that), just a movie fan, and it had been a long time since his last film. Full Metal Jacket I believe, and that was still in the 80's ( could be wrong on that). But still, almost 10 years between films. And from what I had read before release, sounded very promising. So the letdown for me was pretty big.
I know my points are general, but like I said, I'm just a fan. And I will concede you this point because you wondered how I had the patience for Barry Lyndon but not EWS. When BL came out, I did sorta cast it aside like many others because it was such a departure from Clockwork, Strangelove. Films we were still digesting, along with 2001. But my favorite Kubrick film to watch now is Barry Lyndon, because I never gave it the attention it deserved when released. 30 years later, here I am, enjoying a film that I sorta ignored decades ago So my hope is that the same thing will happen eventually with EWS, and if it does I'll be sure to let you know so you can say "I told you so", though I won't be able to wait 30 years again cuz I'll probably be dead Yeah, I'm old
But until that happens, when I need a Kubrick fix of jealousy, obsession and perverted sexual undertones, I'm sticking with Lolita
Now make us Americans proud with your 60's list
