Humanity's Lens: Kubrick's B'nL

[MacCruiskeen]

Barry Lyndon is the only film by Kubrick I have never seen. I've been saving it up for years. It looks as though it really has to be seen in a cinema.

I love it. Yes the pace is slow but that's part of its charm and somehow works. It's very deliberate. It's really a beautiful comedy.

The connection between Barry Lyndon and... the NASA Moon missions

[Jerky]

Barry Lyndon is currently in theatres across the UK. I saw it at the Toronto TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre last year, on their biggest festival screen (it had been slated to run on their second biggest screen but demand for tickets prompted a venue change) and it was absolutely glorious.

Very illuminating video. (So the lenses weren't NASA's thank you gift?)

I think what Ian's trying to do here is quite reasonable - discuss a Kubrick film in the political context of its time - and bears only superficial resemblance to what this board knows as "keyword hijacking." The name would have been evocative, and I doubt Kubrick would have been ignorant of that.

Please, let's flame off, and return this thread to topic.

Peace be unto you.

Cheers.

I'm seeing this...






...quite a lot when I go to the OP of some of these recently resurrected threads.



The link to the image in the post is:

Here's another one: http ://imagizer. imageshack. us/v2/640x480q90/853/y8o0.jpg a long dead imageshack.us (Images Hack?) url found on this OP by cptmarginal: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=37731#p534538

Sometimes the url's are active and I see them displaying the above "NO WAR" message, other times, inactive.

I wonder, are all the other long dead image-post links that are scattered around RI and the internet, also becoming re-animated? And if so, who is the zombie master?
