Late 50's, kirk douglas. I think that's what it was. Since then he produced nothing worth watching. Pretentious rubbish the lot of it. Clockwork Orange, dated bewilderment. 2001 ASO - what the hell was that. Eyes wide shut. Say no more. The Shining - how to take a reasonably good story and turn it to shite.<br /><br />God save me from Stanley and his like. Did no one ever stand up and whisper in his ear, "Stanley, get a real job, this is all crap".<br />Obviously not.snookertonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500459806569249656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13799403.post-43726899894118332292009-10-02T10:28:21.992+01:002009-10-02T10:28:21.992+01:00For bobyjoblah:

I ask because I'm mainly fascinated by Kubrick's technical innovation and expert insight into the human condition which I feel is the true validation of his works as "genius".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270923529836297584noreply@blogger.com
