He's all that in the books as well. Him being a faggot is canonical.

Space AIDS?
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

He never flew about several meters high either, as far as I remember. The floaty device is basically a high tech mobility scooter just lifting him off the ground. I like to think it managed that just barely as well.

Re: Movie Thread
Fear and Desire (1953)
Kubrick himself hated this debut film of his and once tried to destroy the film completely from existence, as Lucas tried with the Star Wars Holiday Special. He considered this pretentious and boring and was very dissatisfied with its script and acting in it. It's only an hour-long movie, so it can be watched quite painlessly, it's not that boring, but pretentious? Yeah, sure. It has completely laughable internal monologues of the characters and the dialogue goes to vicarious embarrassment level at times. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone except as a curiosity for where the career of the great director once started.
Killer's Kiss (1955)
The director's second film was already quite an improvement over the first, although it was also made with a shoestring budget. This too is a film just over an hour long, but in terms of its duration, the beginning of the film is incomprehensibly slow. After the first third of the film, it is still not clear to the viewer what the red thread of this film is. However, the film has a very realistic boxing match, given that it was made in the 50s. At the end of the movie there's also a pretty ferocious fight scene where they swing each other with an axe and a harpoon for real. It looks pretty fucking dangerous to me, guess they didn't care that much about actor safety back then. It seems that out of pure luck neither actor was injured in the scene.
Finally I can make my best-to-worst Kubrick list (not that the list substantially changed in any way):
1. Clockwork Orange
2. The Shining
3. Full Metal Jacket
4. Dr. Strangelove
5. Barry Lyndon
6. Lolita
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey (it has its moments, but as a whole it is quite dry)
8. The Killing
9. Paths of Glory (very overrated, but still good)
10.Eyes Wide Shut (way too fucking long)
11.Spartacus (not really even Kubrick's film, quite boring)
12.Killer's Kiss
13.Fear and Desire

It really only cancels out the couple hundred pounds that his body can no longer carry around on its own, but so far every adaptation has given him a hover belt because they want more special effects and/or they can find a more subtle way to portray the belt's effects in a visual medium.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 12:41 pmHe never flew about several meters high either, as far as I remember.
