Hey there Dear Listener – FYI: Tomorrow’s podcast will be a Stanley Kubrick retrospective, marking 10 years since his passing.  Gareth and I will each take one scene from a Kubrick film and discuss.  Any aspects of the man’s work you’d like us investigate let us know and we’ll work it in if we have time.

Update, (Thursday): See top of post for podcast links.

  1. Maybe something on the films that never were -Aryan Papers, Napolean, AI (hurr hurr).
    There's an interesting-looking exhibition on Aryan Papers in London, as you probably know http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_date/20

    Whatever you talk about, I hope you give a little rant at Barry Lyndon's exclusion from the most recent over-hauls. Now that's a film I *would* re-re-re-re-buy -if they did a good enough job, which I'm sure they would. And yes, it needs to be bought.

    That's an idea – probably too heavy-duty to fit into tomorrow's show, and yeah we mentioned it:

    would love to see the show! :) (have always appreciated the Wilson Sisters' work)

  3. CaptainMandrake says:

    This may be an obvious question. Did Kubrick's own unwavering perfectionism, doom him to a less than prolific output in his lifetime?

  4. Jett Loe says:

    Yeah, 'Stanley Kubrick's Boxes' is a fascinating little doc – I recommend it as well for any fan of the man's work.

    And yeah, he made fewer films – but doom is a harsh word – it's the way he worked. :)

  5. Maybe you could discuss how Kubrick might have adapted Watchmen (?) :)
    He would probably have annoyed all the fans by making something completely different, but yet coming out with an actual top-notch film.

    I don't think there's room for much, if any of the backstory in a movie. It should have been a mini-series or a movie that didn't bother explaining its past. From what I've seen of Ozymandias in the Zackmovie he definitely seems like the weakest link (much as I hate to point a finger).

  6. Jett Loe says:

    Re: Ozymandias, yeah he does seem weak but I'll reserve judgment till i've seen the pic ;)

    + for logistical reasons we've had to push back the Kubrick ep till next week – so we'll have the Watchmen ep this Sunday – and yeah, Kubrick would have done something interesting all right…tom cruise as Ozymandias – now that would have been something.
