Such a shame. To think Gilliam almost directed a Dr. Strangelove sequel!
According to Sight and Sound´s prestigious and acclaimed ranking of the best films of all time, Vertigo is currently regarded as the nr 1 best ever. Personally I was mesmerized on my first viewing, but the other times I´ve watched it has failed to replicate that feeling.
But enough about Hitchcock...
It goes without saying that Ms. Cambron is now my favorite person in the whole world. I especially like that she utilized the correct Gill Sans font.
To watch the entire one woman film:
That was brilliant. And you're not the only one obsessing about 2001, although my favourite Kubrick movie is A Clockwork Orange.
4K release next month, the trailer is in 4K if you can watch it on your TV. Great movie a definate purchase for me.

I bought this Special Edition last year, one of the best 4K transfers I have ever seen it's astonishing...
I noticed Dr Strangelove is already available on 4K, there are certain films that you just have to upgrade.
I have never seen Whiplash one of many films on a long list of films I have not got round to, despite owning Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Munich (the latter not watched properly) , I still have not watched them. I need to have a need to watch movie pile. Lol
That you do. I've got quite the backlog of 4Ks/blu-rays that I need to get around to ASAP, as well. Just need to find the free time.
"The shot of the tennis ball rolling into Danny's toys took fifty takes to get right."
"Stanley Kubrick, known for his compulsiveness and numerous retakes, got the difficult shot of blood pouring from the elevators in only three takes. This would be remarkable if it weren't for the fact that the shot took nine days to set up. Every time the doors opened and the blood poured out, Kubrick would say, "It doesn't look like blood." In the end, the shot took approximately a year to get right. "
Another note, as Christmas is coming: am I the only one who watches Eyes Wide Shut as, one of his Christmas movies?
Can't say I've done that, but I'd prefer watching EWS over the many awful made-for-Christmas movies that pollute the cable channels this time of year.
Should be interesting, with or without him.
In addition to “2OO1”, “The Killing”, “Paths of Glory”, “Lolita”, and “Dr. Strangelove” will also be screened. The exhibit’s original 2020 run was – as with everything – cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, so this is yet more evidence that life in NYC is slowly returning to “normal.”

Made me wonder what a Kubrick directed version would have been like. No doubt awesome.
He did his own version of sorts with The Shining.
There are definitely some similarities there.
Jack Torrance also falls into a possession, although it's mostly and maybe exclusively his own demons. The main difference I think is that The Exorcist's supernatural or seems to be Catholic in nature. Which is not the case with The Shining: for instance Danny's and Halloran's power, if any, is "primitive" and undefined. The worldview of A Clockwork Orange is in many ways Catholic, but it is accidental and has more to do with Anthony Burgess (himself a lapsed Catholic) than Kubrick. It's interesting that his supernatural movie is areligious, while his most religiously charged movie is dystopian sci-fi and entirely devoid of supernatural.
I need to rewatch Barry Lyndon. Tom in ACO has little screentime, but he's very memorable.
Yes, Berkoff's not terribly recognisable in the film as he's a lot younger and has sideburns if I remember correctly. I certainly didn't recognise him when I first saw A Clockwork Orange back in 2006. After realising he was in the film I then spotted him in a later re-watch. Last year I bought a Stanley Kubrick films Blu-ray boxset in a CEX exchange shop and it included A Clockwork Orange. Looking forward to seeing the film in this its fiftieth anniversary year in superior picture quality.
