haha, "god help me..."
I had the great pleasure of visiting the Stanley Kubrick exhibit at LACMA today. He was an incredible craftsman, artist and thinker. I love his movies more with every viewing. He truly understood the power of film- and, most importantly, its unique ability to penetrate in ways that literature cannot. If only the movie business wasn't plagued by box-office/branding/bullshit motives, and embraced original story again, as a whole. We'd be in better shape and, maybe (just maybe) have some new blood half as good as Kubrick. He brought us full-fledged metaphysical orbs of energy, free from intellectual entanglement. He was fully philosophical, fully literate, and yet his films reach at the innermost part of our being, reaching deeper- fully utilizing the power of film. God help me. He is a legend for good goddam reason. As far as I'm concerned it's him and Bergman. The two gods of full cinematic power.

Rest in peace, oh great one. A couple of friends and I are having a Kubrick marathon today in your honor.
Hi, this is my teaser work for 'Eyes Wide Shut'. Maybe you want to share it on Facebook page. Thanks for your interest, see you. http://vimeo.com/35116838
After I saw "2001" on 35mm recently, I realized that you can replace the "Produced, Written and Directed by Stanley Kubrick" credit with "Produced, Written and Directed by God".
The first time I saw it in theaters was on 70mm, but they had played it at my school recently on 35mm.
Stanley Kubrick has completely changed the way I look at cinema. He has created films with staying power, films that an highly intelligent alien species would find challenging, important, and timeless. lol. Greatest filmmaker whose films I've had the honor of seeing many times.
I've enjoyed almost everything he has made that I have watched so far and I plan to watch EVERYTHING. Even though 2001 was torture it was still a brilliant piece of cinema.
Happy Birthday Stan Kubrick. The last great auteur who had complete control over his own work.
A great Auteur... Please check this link and read a letter by Stanley http://www.lettersofnote.com/2011/01/i-expect-to-make-best-movie-ever-made.html "...I expect to make the best movie ever made"
