I just finished reading a lengthy biography on Kubrick. There was no mention of the conversation he supposedly had with R. Lee Ermey which seems like a pretty big omission considering what Kubrick had apparently said about the movie. Not saying it didn’t happen just odd it wasn’t mentioned in the Bio Also it’s Harford not Hartford

Blum is a jealous jerk.

scent of a woman he was class 🎉

I am a proud owner

The tone of that article is that written by someone who is obviously jealous. Those actors are all talented. Their movies were really good and made box office cash. They all still act, direct, and write. Personally, I saw the "Brat Pack" as eternally cool.

when I first saw it I was not impressed, then 10yrs or so later I totally fell for it. I do think cruise / Kidman were distracting though . . but to me this is a 'Kubrick a la Lynch' film . . . all about the atmosphere, un-answered questions, puzzles we most likely are not meant to have answers to. who knows if he would of re-edited had he not passed. or maybe the 1lum1nat1 took him out 🤷

I used to have them, now I got the 3D letterbox set from 92!

Words have POWER to hurt, destroy, or heal. Bloom is far worse than any of the "Brat Pack" actors' group he so callously and casually derided. Bloom doesn't care whose career or lives he damaged-- as long as HE got a hot story.

I love Kubrick's filming style. The stories have a lot of detail and are made to be watched several times. The one movie storyline I absolutely hated was Clockwork Orange. The second movie storyline was Barry Lyndon. With Barry Lyndon, the main character was an a-#ole. In Clockwork Orange, the entire movie was a how-to on nihilism.

Such an awful movie. Wasn't any chemistry between Kidman and Cruise, everything about that movie was shameful and sexless. It's all spectacle and atmosphere, like a loud stinkless fart. generally refer to it as "Eyes Wide Sh*t".

In David Blum's "brain", Entertainig = Mean Spirited. His response to McCarthy is a "NON - mea culpa"/ I'm Proud I Got Paid.

This is how i first experienced Star Wars. Beautiful Bix Set and Cover Art

Yo!!!! I have that box set. I mean, my dad got it when it first released, but I think I technically own it now since he passed away

14:00 So thats where that quote is from! I only heard the part where Kubrick said Cruise and Kidman had their way with him. Never knew he said the move as also a piece of trash.

"Sea of Love", which isn't so well known was good.

They should have embraced it and made it a joke, like the person who wrote the article.

Eyes Wide Shut. Awful.

they didn't follow Tyrion's advice: wear it like armor, and it can never be used against you

HELP ME! Please can anyone tell me where to find the complete episode of Phil Doanahue interviewing Judd Nelson, Alley Sheedy and Rob Lowe? Thank you!

This two-year-long drama was so arduous and miserable for Cruise, it broke him to the point where he was no longer interested in drama, but dove head-first into the action genre, as these were the most fun for him. The horrible experience is what propelled Cruise into becoming an adrenaline junkie, primarily in his "Mission: Impossible" movies. Not having a say or having any collaboration working with Kubrick is the reason why he has so much creative control on the pictures he has subsequently starred in.

みんな正しい しかし彼の真骨頂は舞台俳優としてのそれにあるのでは ｢真骨頂と云う古い日本語がどう翻訳されるか楽しみ｣

I never noticed he was Michael.

Eyes wide shut and Barry Lyndon bore me to tears. I tried rewatching them… still bored.

Kubrick is always an extreme hit or miss director for me and I'm afraid this one was laughably bad. Whole thing came across as a naive child's view of what adults get up to. It was very, very funny but I don't think intentionally.

It was a dirty old man's fantasy of sexual decadence.

There are countless clues in EYES WIDE SHUT that indicate you're watching a DREAM. Very much along the lines of MULHOLLAND DRIVE. The piece of shit quote originally came from Lee Ermey and was second hand gossip that had zero basis in reality. As usual, there's more baloney on the internet about Kubrick than just about any other filmmaker. Want to get a true, inside picture of Kubrick? Read the book by his assistant Emilio.

Something is missing from the film that would have tied it together. I'm not sure if we'll ever know what all that is.

I saw Eyes Wide Shut on its opening day in '99. My initial reaction was mixed but I was familiar enough with Kubrick by this time that I knew his films oftentimes benefited from multiple viewings. The second screening did not improve that ambivalent reaction and I found myself struggling to stay awake. No other Kubrick film has ever bored me so much. When a box set of Kubrick films was released I bought it (mostly for the documentary included which was at the time unavailable separately). It was not the uncensored version which wasn't available until years later. Yes I bought it. No matter how many times I've tried to rewatch the film my reaction only gets increasingly worse and I find the story trite and trivial. The acting is terrible. Kubrick's films existed in an exaggerated reality and exaggerated behaviour usually fit, but here there is a clash of styles that never meld together very well. There are scenes that are just cringeworthy, like the one in the costume shop and the discovery of the Japanese businessmen and the owner's daughter. It plays like bad slapstick comedy. Watching Nicole Kidman play stoned is another awkward moment. Kubrick seems out of touch with the behaviour of people and everyone feels like a caricature. When all is said and done I just didn't care at all about any of these characters. I went in with a predisposed dislike for Tom Cruise and his lifeless "performance" did nothing to correct this view. I still hold the opinion that this is Kubrick's worst film. I wish he had stuck with AI or resurrected The Aryan Papers. Anything else but this sleeping pill of a film. His insights into marriage, sexual obsession, etc are inane. I recommend the Nicolas Roeg film Bad Timing which tackles the same subject but much better.

Like many convoluted artsy films, it's better on cable where you can wander off if you want (Harvey got fired by Coppola, the greats lol).

Creepy Cruise and his soon to be ex-wife have no chemistry. Kubrick made some great films, 2001, Dr. Strangelove, but this one is a real stinker. Stupid script.

The theatrical posters look way better.

I neither liked nor disliked the movie - the endiing sort of ruined the film for me. No big twist or weird ending - it just sort of ended. I enjoyed the film but without a solid ending, it just sort of fizzled out. Tom cruise is always good and he never goves a bad performance...i just wished the movie had something interesting to say.

The most overestimated movie ever

There have been rumors for years that Kubrik's assistants actually did most of the work on the film. and that he was already suffering from mental impairment even then.

Marie Richardson is Swedish though,

I really enjoy the clips you cut in from movies. Sly! Haha

I actually quite liked the first part where Bill is sent on his journey of weirdness. The second half has some moments as well but it feels kind of anti climactic. Terrible film? Far from it, and those saying it is should not be taken seriously.

Not a terrible movie but not a masterpiece. Rumor has it if Kubrick hadnt died he would have re-edited it because one of the key problems is it's slow pacing . But tbh it's problems go beyond pacing

Kidman said Kubrick hated explaining what he wants to actors. Maybe if he did he might have needed less takes.

This is one of three films that I refused to watch because they looked so humdrum and/or generic. When I finally watched it over 15 years after it was released, I absolutely loved it. The two other films were Interview with a Vampire, and Titanic - again I absolutely loved them both.

Eyes Wide Shut is a great film if not a fully realized one. It is a dim, twilight dream world that Kubrick is revealing for us to ultimately open our eyes about the fragility of romantic relationships. People tend to not want to examine, become distracted and lose their central focus & purpose -to stay together!

Behind the scenes stories that further advance my theory that Kubrick did not know what he was doing with actors.

This is the only film I don't remember Tom throwing a temper tantrum and storm off kicking the ground. Reminds me of the collin guy that cries in every movie even if nothing bad happens. Toms a casting couch sex toy for old men.

One of my favorite movies

The Brat Pack is the group of actors that represented Gen X in the 80s. That’s 10 years of movies that spoke to my generation. Nothing will change that. The first movie was Ordinary People. The first of many, ending with She’s Having a Baby, More than just the core.😊

I had these tapes as a kid, I absolutely loved the art on them!

Of course I remember. This box set is how I was introduced to Star Wars

I have those tapes still. Haven’t had a damn VCR in 20 years though.

He is the Best. He is nr. 1!!!🎉

Keep an eye out for the EWS doc coming out: SK13. Made by the same guy who made Filmworker!
