Kubrick hated living in Hollywood and would only go there on business or to accept awards; the rest of the time, he lived in either New York or London with his family. It's crazy how he got the label of a recluse and a madman simply for maintaining his privacy and not constantly shoving his image in the public eye, like most people the second they get famous.
Well the negative press I think is propaganda. I say that because Eyes Wide Shut was his last movie, and there's interview (forgot from who) where the man talks about how at the exec screening for the film, 45mins in two execs burst out with Kubrick screaming at him to the point where he thought they would break out into a physical fight. A week later Kubrick passes. Coincidence? Maybe, but the propaganda about him being crazy, is definitely not imo.
@@ct6852 Probably because of what he was depicting. If it hit close to home I imagine they'd want it removed and would be angry he'd put that kinda messaging in there.
My favorite director..... you could take any frame of film, blow it up, and have a nice poster for your wall. Whether Dr. Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, 2001, Shining, Eyes Wide Shut....just amazing body of work.
Im currently watching Barry Lyndon it’s in the Dvd player while I’m working typing this. And you are 100% right I was thinking the same thing while watching the film.
My favorite Kubrick story is from when he was shooting Paths to Glory. To quote Kirk Douglas' telling of the story: He made the veteran actor Adolphe Menjou do the same scene 17 times. "That was my best reading." Menjou announced. "I think we can break for lunch now." It was well past the usual lunch time but Kubrick said he wanted another take. Menjou went into an absolute fury. In front of Douglas and the entire crew he blasted off on what he claimed was Kubrick's dubious parentage and made several other unprintable references to Kubrick's relative greenness in the art of directing actors. Kubrick merely listened calmly and after Menjou had spluttered to an uncomplimentary conclusion said quietly: "All right, let's try the scene once more." With utter docility, Menjou went back to work.
Malcolm McDowell in his commentary on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE notes that on that film Kubrick did few takes because, after all the cost overruns on 2001, he was determined to prove to Warner Brothers that he could bring a film in under budget.
@@megaultradamn If he did a lot of scenes over and over with Tom Cruise you gotta wonder how much worse THAT film could have been. Kubrick was more like the Rain Man; obsessed to the point of absurdity.
I went to a screening of The Shining in 4K Remastering done by Leon Vitali himself at the Egyptian Theatre a few months ago. He just humbly stood in the lobby before the film, no one really talking to him. So I went up to him and was able to tell him how thankful I was for his work. He asked me questions about myself. Really humble sweet soul. Then he gave an amazing Q & A before the screening with some wonderful facts on the making of The Shining. He sat amongst the audience and watched the film sitting alone. Every now and then I’d peek up at him and he would be so invested and sometimes smiling. You can tell he really has so much joy for film. If you haven’t seen Film Worker on Netflix...you must.
Kubrick was such a genius. He was a gateway drug to filmmakers that I may not have understood or comprehended if Kubrick hadn’t taught me to look at film differently, folks like Bergman, Tarkovsky, Herzog.
No doubt. Kubrick was that for me during my early teens. And then Bergman and Tarkovsky completely blew the fucking doors off for me, they showed me what films were capable of being.
Similar to this is Ridley Scott's Bladerunner. I hear tell the crew and many in the production hated him because he was relentless and did whatever it took to get the shot he wanted. He'd go long over normal hours and would expect everyone else to do the same. The end product is still talked about today - and is a masterpiece, in my opinion - so there's something to be said about suffering for the art. But, like Kubrick, I doubt it could be done today in most circumstances.
The crew hated him not because of perfectionism but because he wanted a British crew and he said American crews sucked. Not a good way to win people over.
@@theonewhoistornapart2506 Except that James Cameron is a hack who hasn't produced anything remotely close to the artistry of 2001 and Blade Runner. His a-holery is wasted lol. His best movie T2 is still nothing more than a well made dudebro sci fi action movie.
In the scene they're watching Jack prepare for his scene, it then shows the part where he swings the axe at the door to break in. The camera swings along with the axe then stops dead on the right as the axe brutally hits and sticks in the door. Kubrick is making the viewer "feel" the axe. No amount of CGI tech or trendy non-linear speed adjustments can give a director this kind of creative power. You just have it or you don't. Kubrick had it.
Boyhood literally filmed over the growing up of a young boy into a college aged man. Flipping trippy to watch in real time. Went so long that they couldn't even contractually bind the actors to filming for the movie, so it was all done based on good faith that everyone would return. THAT has got to be the record for longest movie production ever.
But the thing is that they shoot the film for like once or twice for every 12 years...i believe the record for the longest movie production is Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut..man, they worked on that film for like 400 days straight
When I was a kid I use to walk around and sing I’m sing in the rain I can’t remember and I saw that movie I was like yo people prob thought I was on something
I love how a movie like The Shining is sort of a cult movie, unliked by King and some, but it’s such a subtle horrific tone piece, and a creepy isolated adaptation, it’s a very effective piece of work, I love how the character of Jack Torrance in Kubrick’s film was already crazy before the hotel stay. I would call the film a masterpiece, among other Kubrick films of course
@@aprilosborn1886 You're right, but I think Kubrick used it rather than trying to just be a 'fan' and bring it to the big screen. I say that because apparently he was taking jabs and King within the movie itself (one example being how he crashes the car from the book).
The "making of the Shining" was shot mostly by Stanley Kubrick's wife, and not once does he ever call Shelly Duvall (not Shelly Long) names, but he was very abrupt with her when she didn't hear him yell action, for example. And he did a lot of things to get her worked up, but name calling wasn't one of them.
@@bobthebear1246 Just a joke. Sorry for the confusion :) Whoa, when I saw your name, for a second I thought I was writing to a former SNL cast member lol
Shelly Duvall didn't quit acting after Popeye... she acted for another 22 years. And has recently done her first film in 20 years called "The Forest Hills" with Edward Furlong.
@totallybored5526 oh, man! I just scrolled through the cast and you weren't kidding! That's insane they got all those actors for these roles. Klaus Kinski as the beast? Paul Reubens as Pinocchio? Robin Williams as the Toad prince? How have I never heard of this?
Leon Vitale who was Stanley's assistant/gopher, for years, after being in Barry Lyndon, played Red Cape in Eyes Wide Shut. Scary character. Surprised Joe didn't know who he was. He was very involved in the hiring of actors for Stanley's films, among many other things.
Originally it was scripted that when Lord Bullington (Leon Vitali) leaves home that it would be the end of his character. After seeing his performance, Kubrick completely rewrote the ending, having him return to duel with Barry at the show's climax. It was a brilliant move, considering that the film's theme was always basically "what goes around, comes around."
She's so likeable when she's having a normal conversation, if only she could be like this in her material. Fair enough, she's the rich comedian, not me, so she probably knows what she's doing.
Oscar Clarke no you’re totally right . I’ve seen plenty of stuff with her & I’ve found her unlikable in pretty much everything. Not just that but also rather annoying. But in this she seemed fine.
JFK is the most underrated great film of all time. Plus, I get the point Joe is making but he says he was making it as a dramatist so he took some creative freedoms but what is miraculous is how close he got to a lot of the truths behind the scene of the assassination.
alan rickmans reaction in die hard when he falls out the window was real....director said he would drop him on count of three..guess what he told the others to do?? lol
The special edition shining has a great example of SK's genius. The "locked in pantry scene" was originally filmed from a side angle. SE shows SK deciding to change camera angle to below filming up. SK "were gonna try this angle Jack come with the same intensity." AMAZING
Had a lady like this on my flight back to Belfast. She was literally angled, side steeping up and down the isle. One side got the gut rubbed on them, the other side had her stink hole aimed at them. And she bumped your leg if you left it in the isle. Not even a excuse me or a sorry
When he talks about the whole thing about actors staying into mindset and character the first thing I thought of was of Heath Ledger and his role for joker
@@jp9548 Why? Because they're both movies about Vietnam? There're plenty of them and if you were "obsessed" with someone you'd know which one they made.
@@markoos88 yeah. it was weird that she stumbled like that, but then proceeded to nerd out over the guy. I see you are a movie buff based on your uploads. thats cool man, ive been getting into watching movies and really paying attention to the small details and scene movement and stuff. i jumped on you only cause ive made that specific mistake mixing up platoon and Apocalypse Now. however i didnt write a thesis paper on it LOL :3
genius is going too far. even malcolm macdowell said so. he was profoundly driven and an extremely technical filmmaker, but genius is not the right word. At least artistic genius. That would be more like David lynch, and actually Kubrick said "eraserhead" was his favorite film
Kubrick was simply a genius, but he was also brutal to those around him... it’s a trade off most of us would not be willing to make, which is why there are no more genius film makers
I think method actors (real method actors not the guys that stay in character only on set but be the character 24/7) are crazy but functional like some kind of sociopathic OCD person while a non-method actor that just acts when the take is being shot are also weird people with a need for attention however more on the spectrum of a normal person but it’s when those actors try to become a method actor is when situations like Lindsay Lohan happens. Jim Carrey is a good example of someone who went from a normal actor then for a man on the moon suddenly became a full on method actor even thinking he actually was Andy Kaufman while meeting Kaufman’s family and stuff. Maybe that’s why after that movie we didn’t see Carrey in the spotlight for quite a while
Kubrick did what he did because he didn't trust anyone. He was trying to make sure nobody could alter the final product from his intended vision. That's why he destroyed all his deleted scenes: because he knew the studio would try to put them back in. So he suspected that everyone would sabotage his work so he played all these mind games with them to keep them off-balance and exhausted. You don't have to do that to get good work, but it's also hard to get people to go to the place you need them to without having a visual reference to show them. Because of what Kubrick did to Shelley, you can show your actors the footage and say "can you go *here* ?" and they'll say "Whoa, I didn't know you wanted it *that* high. No wonder I wasn't getting it. Uh, no, actually I can't."
I had just started watching another video about the same thing but I saw this one and was like "oh yeah this one is gonna be way better". Joe's podcast is an infinite well of unusual knowledge
I'm not making an implication as to what, but Stanley did something with NASA that he regret, and part of what hes expressing in The Shining (Stanley put a metric fuck ton of messages in this movie) is an expression of that regret. He sees himself as both Jack and Danny, and potentially his wife as Wendy. They're also allegories for other messages as well. The sheer depth to The Shining is unparalleled, and to this day, 40 years later, it's still being dissected. You can even watch it backwards layered on top of forwards, and some of the messages montage on top of themselves to mean new interpretations, or compounding interpretations. The movie "Shines" on itself, it projects on itself to have some ominous, psychic presence that puts energy from different scenes atop one another. The middle scene where the backwards and forwards play coalesce was one of the most mind blowing scenes in film I've ever witnessed given the subject matter. To grasp a lot of the meaning behind the compounding montage, you have to know some of the deeper context within the film. Here's a link where you can watch the film backwards and forwards. There's implications that allude to the film being able to be seen as such. Such as credits rolling backwards and at the start of the film instead of how they're regularly rolling, and at the back of the film. Redrum being backwards. The use of mirrors in the film. thesyncbook.com/the-shining-forwards-and-backwards/ I'd be happy to delve into some of the deeper themes if anyone is interested. I've studied this movie meticulously and I'm a huge Stanley fan. Bonus- I'm pretty sure the scene where Danny is driving his 3-wheeler around in the main hall (where Jack does his writing) has a message in morse code. When Danny drives over the carpet, he makes what I think are dot-dash sounds. I haven't been able to interpret any meaning, or if it's true or not, but I'm real confident that's what Stanley was doing.
kubrick believed that there was no child actor on the planet capable of portraying the ai well enough, i think he would have chose a different kid, or atleast been way harder on the kid that was chosen and would have got a different performance out of him
For sure. Simply excels in public speaking/theater and memorizes cited college level essays on controversial topics that other people have toiled over haha
Stanley was a classic reflection of a soul who is only involved with his own perspective of dreams and art. So much so he single handedly attracted his fame and death because of this obsession. Very devil may care kind of soul.. And smart. Holy crap he was intelligent. 👍 Kubrick!
This reminds me of Leo in Django Unchained when he smashes the glass and cuts his hand then wipes the blood all over the actress, that wasn’t meant to happen. It was all being that character in that moment, and leaving everything else at the door. He ended up needing stitches because the cut was so bad, but it made for a fucking incredible scene.
Dying up here was great! I really wish there would be more seasons ... -even today. After watching that show nothing satisfied me but ... I did watch the John Belushi documentary for which I'm also grateful. Dying up here was more than a 5 star rating and on a scale from 1 to 10(10 being the best) their an a 11 only because they didn't continue do they not rate at 22.
There is an interview with Vincent D'Onofrio some might find interesting regarding Kubrick. It is a well-told story by him and the quintessential existence of synchronicity and luck in D'Onofrio's getting his big break in " Full Metal Jacket." Highly recommended! Kevin Pollack is the host. The story starts at 53:00 and ends at 1:16:50. th-cam.com/video/0RG7Z0FKJwE/w-d-xo.html
Daniel Day Lewis is a full on method actor. His wife says she tries not to speak to him while he was doing roles because he is a total prick. He stays in character 24/7, so whoever he is playing is what you get. That Jarred Leto is meant to be the same.
That doll in the background legit had me scared to death because I wasn’t sure if it was a person or not and focused on it to be ready for it to move lol
Honest to God . . . I've been living in a hotel for almost a year now, in Room #237. Are you positive it's 237? I remember it as 236. Have to watch the movie again. Take care and be safe. God Bless. ( have you ever watched the Coen Brothers first big movie ..."Blood Simple"? great movie!)
Kubrick isn't the only crazy genius making movies, Werner Herzog is also a genius as crazy as his fettish actor "Klaus Kinski". In fact, in every movie both of them were about to kill each other in a literal way but, getting back to Kubrick, beyond his madness, he's influenced many filmmakers such as Spielberg or Nolan who based on 2001: a Space Odyssey to make the movie "Insterstellar".
Since you endeavor (poorly) to be pedantic, her name isn't "Whitey" and Cheers is an actual bar in Boston as well as a fictionalized one in a TV show, so nobody is from Cheers.
It's their perspective, no offence but both of are not qualified to assess his work, the guy was one of the 5 greatest ever lived on earth in the same artform. No disrespect ,I am sorry
They are absolutely entitled to thier word...i think it's pretty fucking obvious that perhaps they arent the foremost authority on Stanley fucking Kubrick... The fact there's a doll doppelganger of her in back ground might just be a big give away on the accuracy of the information and by they manner in which they are discussing its all very tongue in cheek I can pick this up and I've got fucking aspergers lol 😂
And by the way it's more of a discussion and they are more than entitled to talk about who they like. Just like I'm entitled to call you a fucking Mongo and a threat to free speech.
I have taken acting classes and have had to do scenes that were famous movie scenes but serious and emotional. I never had any problem with any of the girls in class getting actually upset. I'm pretty easy going as a person but as an actor I get very intense (because it is fun). I just have a little conversation before we do the piece. "OK, I'm going to do some fucked up things. I'm not going to really tell you what they are so you react, but I am offering the trigger warning. It's going to get seriously fucked up in a minute." Then after, we can laugh about it. Most of the women actors I have dealt with are really cool people. Hell, these are the roles they want to play too.
Kubrick hated living in Hollywood and would only go there on business or to accept awards; the rest of the time, he lived in either New York or London with his family.

My dads generation put man on the moon...this generation put a man in the ladies room.
JFK is the most underrated great film of all time. Plus, I get the point Joe is making but he says he was making it as a dramatist so he took some creative freedoms but what is miraculous is how close he got to a lot of the truths behind the scene of the assassination.
Whitney: “Adam’s a really smart guy.”
Rogan: “I don’t think we’re talking about the same person.”

The inspiration for Apocalypse Now came from Francis Ford Coppola's reading of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness."
I studied acting from childhood and I loved taking on the mindset and stuff of characters.
alan rickmans reaction in die hard when he falls out the window was real....director said he would drop him on count of three..guess what he told the others to do?? lol
The special edition shining has a great example of SK's genius. The "locked in pantry scene" was originally filmed from a side angle. SE shows SK deciding to change camera angle to below filming up. SK "were gonna try this angle Jack come with the same intensity." AMAZING
"flight attendants "boy they let that go" no shit, I recently had a flight attendant that was so fat she had to walk down the aisle sideways.
Mory I’d hit it
@@zachsimon9475 you'd hit it with everyone else on the plane at once.
You should try Qatar airways, they most definitely did not let it go
Had a lady like this on my flight back to Belfast. She was literally angled, side steeping up and down the isle. One side got the gut rubbed on them, the other side had her stink hole aimed at them. And she bumped your leg if you left it in the isle. Not even a excuse me or a sorry
Kubrick was great at chess. He would play chess with George C Scott between shoots on Dr. Strangelove.

When he talks about the whole thing about actors staying into mindset and character the first thing I thought of was of Heath Ledger and his role for joker
She's so obsessed with Oliver Stone she doesn't know he had nothing to do with Apocalypse Now.
Oliver stone directed platoon... i can see the mix up there.
@@jp9548 Why? Because they're both movies about Vietnam? There're plenty of them and if you were "obsessed" with someone you'd know which one they made.
@@markoos88 yeah. it was weird that she stumbled like that, but then proceeded to nerd out over the guy. I see you are a movie buff based on your uploads. thats cool man, ive been getting into watching movies and really paying attention to the small details and scene movement and stuff. i jumped on you only cause ive made that specific mistake mixing up platoon and Apocalypse Now. however i didnt write a thesis paper on it LOL :3
every single one of us have random unknown gaps in our knowledge 🤷♂️
@@magneto44 stop with your absymal excuses, it's pathetic.
Stanley was a genius for sure. And Bale goes to extremes to be in character.
genius is going too far. even malcolm macdowell said so. he was profoundly driven and an extremely technical filmmaker, but genius is not the right word. At least artistic genius. That would be more like David lynch, and actually Kubrick said "eraserhead" was his favorite film
Kubrick was simply a genius, but he was also brutal to those around him... it’s a trade off most of us would not be willing to make, which is why there are no more genius film makers
Stanley was always so nice to me Stew FMJ Crew.
0:50 Whitney knew Jamie would "bring it up" :D
The sequel to the shinning called Dr. Sleep was amazing. It blew my mind and watched it 3 times already
I liked Eyes wide Shut, even though most others didn’t.
My favorite Xmas movie
I think it's his best film.
Everyone liked it, youre not fkn special
my favourite Kubrick
Barry Lyndon -- watch that shit. Worth it for the candlelit scenes alone
beautiful visual, horribly boring film
Snoozefest
dude the scene where he misses the shot on purpose in the duel....
This lady's personality is awesome!
I think method actors (real method actors not the guys that stay in character only on set but be the character 24/7) are crazy but functional like some kind of sociopathic OCD person while a non-method actor that just acts when the take is being shot are also weird people with a need for attention however more on the spectrum of a normal person but it’s when those actors try to become a method actor is when situations like Lindsay Lohan happens. Jim Carrey is a good example of someone who went from a normal actor then for a man on the moon suddenly became a full on method actor even thinking he actually was Andy Kaufman while meeting Kaufman’s family and stuff. Maybe that’s why after that movie we didn’t see Carrey in the spotlight for quite a while
I stepped into this with no podcast and thought the creepy mannequin was just Whitney's reflection
Kubrick did what he did because he didn't trust anyone. He was trying to make sure nobody could alter the final product from his intended vision. That's why he destroyed all his deleted scenes: because he knew the studio would try to put them back in. So he suspected that everyone would sabotage his work so he played all these mind games with them to keep them off-balance and exhausted. You don't have to do that to get good work, but it's also hard to get people to go to the place you need them to without having a visual reference to show them.
Because of what Kubrick did to Shelley, you can show your actors the footage and say "can you go *here* ?" and they'll say "Whoa, I didn't know you wanted it *that* high. No wonder I wasn't getting it. Uh, no, actually I can't."
@Cuthbert Bracegirdle Oh shit, that's a blend of a final sentence and a deleted sentence I didn't fully erase. Thanks for noticing.
my love for whitney has grown exponentially knowing that she is a Kubrick fan.
she's really hot too.
She has no idea what she's talking about. If she fooled you, well, you're the bigger fool for believing her.
Cummings: “let’s talk about Kubrick.”
Rogan: “let’s talk about something else.”
I had just started watching another video about the same thing but I saw this one and was like "oh yeah this one is gonna be way better". Joe's podcast is an infinite well of unusual knowledge
John Milius wrote “Apocalypse Now.” 😎✌️
Whitney quickly got the conversation away from Hollywood's acceptance of Roman Polanski.
It was almost like he never asked it.
As well they should....
one of the best guests
I love that they talked about this.
I'm not making an implication as to what, but Stanley did something with NASA that he regret, and part of what hes expressing in The Shining (Stanley put a metric fuck ton of messages in this movie) is an expression of that regret. He sees himself as both Jack and Danny, and potentially his wife as Wendy. They're also allegories for other messages as well. The sheer depth to The Shining is unparalleled, and to this day, 40 years later, it's still being dissected. You can even watch it backwards layered on top of forwards, and some of the messages montage on top of themselves to mean new interpretations, or compounding interpretations. The movie "Shines" on itself, it projects on itself to have some ominous, psychic presence that puts energy from different scenes atop one another. The middle scene where the backwards and forwards play coalesce was one of the most mind blowing scenes in film I've ever witnessed given the subject matter. To grasp a lot of the meaning behind the compounding montage, you have to know some of the deeper context within the film.
Here's a link where you can watch the film backwards and forwards. There's implications that allude to the film being able to be seen as such. Such as credits rolling backwards and at the start of the film instead of how they're regularly rolling, and at the back of the film. Redrum being backwards. The use of mirrors in the film.
thesyncbook.com/the-shining-forwards-and-backwards/
I'd be happy to delve into some of the deeper themes if anyone is interested. I've studied this movie meticulously and I'm a huge Stanley fan.
Bonus- I'm pretty sure the scene where Danny is driving his 3-wheeler around in the main hall (where Jack does his writing) has a message in morse code. When Danny drives over the carpet, he makes what I think are dot-dash sounds. I haven't been able to interpret any meaning, or if it's true or not, but I'm real confident that's what Stanley was doing.
I had a 20 minute flight once with an awkwardly big stewardess. Like she struggled to make it up and down the isle.
I could listen to Whitney & Rogan geek out about movies forever
I remember that Cheers episode Kubrick directed. Awesome!
😂 *Christian Bale IS....* _The Mechanic_
🤣🤣
I really wish we could’ve seen how Kubrick would’ve made Ai
It really wouldnt have been much different seeing as it was going to be Kubrick's attempt at a Stephen Spielberg style movie.
@@DJscratchpiggy stupid ass comment
kubrick believed that there was no child actor on the planet capable of portraying the ai well enough, i think he would have chose a different kid, or atleast been way harder on the kid that was chosen and would have got a different performance out of him
GoddForbidd that’s not true he had AI planned for decades.
john smitty I think Haley Joel Osment was phenomenal in that movie.
She should drop the F bomb more often... such an immaculate vocabulary.
People just assume Adam is a smart guy because he talks fast with a lot of confidence lol
For sure. Simply excels in public speaking/theater and memorizes cited college level essays on controversial topics that other people have toiled over haha
weird that show was on my tv when she said it. i hate that show.. but also its not all wrong what he talks about
Kubrick toyed with James Mason in Lolita. He allowed Peter Sellers to improv onto Mason to mess with him. Mason was pissed.
Damn are yall going to let the 3rd guest talk
Shelly Duvall did plenty of movies after the shining and popeye. Just mostly not mainstream stuff.
The guy who hung around Kubrick as personal assistant was Leon Vitali who played Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon.
Stanley was a classic reflection of a soul who is only involved with his own perspective of dreams and art. So much so he single handedly attracted his fame and death because of this obsession.
Very devil may care kind of soul.. And smart. Holy crap he was intelligent.
👍 Kubrick!
This reminds me of Leo in Django Unchained when he smashes the glass and cuts his hand then wipes the blood all over the actress, that wasn’t meant to happen. It was all being that character in that moment, and leaving everything else at the door. He ended up needing stitches because the cut was so bad, but it made for a fucking incredible scene.
That cut did happen however thet sorted his hand out and added fake blood before he wiped it on Kerry Washingtons face.
Dying up here was great! I really wish there would be more seasons ... -even today. After watching that show nothing satisfied me but ... I did watch the John Belushi documentary for which I'm also grateful. Dying up here was more than a 5 star rating and on a scale from 1 to 10(10 being the best) their an a 11 only because they didn't continue do they not rate at 22.
that doll scared me lol 😂
Whitney Cummings did a college thesis on Oliver Stone and yet thinks he wrote Apocalypse now (Facepalm)

Obviously, you're not an intellectual.
Room 236? There's your intellectual.
More like an 8 and an 8, 😆
im high asfff, and i was a couple minutes in and i just thought the creepy doll in the background was someone that hasnt talked 😭😂
There is an interview with Vincent D'Onofrio some might find interesting regarding Kubrick. It is a well-told story by him and the quintessential existence of synchronicity and luck in D'Onofrio's getting his big break in " Full Metal Jacket." Highly recommended! Kevin Pollack is the host. The story starts at 53:00 and ends at 1:16:50. th-cam.com/video/0RG7Z0FKJwE/w-d-xo.html
Daniel Day Lewis is a full on method actor. His wife says she tries not to speak to him while he was doing roles because he is a total prick. He stays in character 24/7, so whoever he is playing is what you get. That Jarred Leto is meant to be the same.
Jarred Leto' s name does not belong in the same sentence as Daniel Day Lewis.
@@funnights74 I should have written a disclaimer. I am in no way comparing the two skill-wise.
the 9th gate is an awesome movie.
Not wearing my glasses and That doll in the background freaked me out
The guy that knew and hung around is Jaan Harlaan. I've actually met him
That doll in the background legit had me scared to death because I wasn’t sure if it was a person or not and focused on it to be ready for it to move lol
Young jamie dedicating his life to Rogan
Omg she said. Room #236 it’s 237 like in the movie. I don’t like this lady anymore :-/
Honest to God . . . I've been living in a hotel for almost a year now, in Room #237. Are you positive it's 237? I remember it as 236. Have to watch the movie again. Take care and be safe. God Bless. ( have you ever watched the Coen Brothers first big movie ..."Blood Simple"? great movie!)
Kubrick isn't the only crazy genius making movies, Werner Herzog is also a genius as crazy as his fettish actor "Klaus Kinski". In fact, in every movie both of them were about to kill each other in a literal way but, getting back to Kubrick, beyond his madness, he's influenced many filmmakers such as Spielberg or Nolan who based on 2001: a Space Odyssey to make the movie "Insterstellar".
I am seriously falling for Whitney Cummings.
Joe has the bob lazar sketch on a shirt! Hell yeah love it!
Shelly Duvall not Shelly Long, Whitey Cummings. Shelly Long was from Cheers.
Since you endeavor (poorly) to be pedantic, her name isn't "Whitey" and Cheers is an actual bar in Boston as well as a fictionalized one in a TV show, so nobody is from Cheers.
Full Metal Jacket best movie from him in my collection.
Why there is Not widespread discussion on the information given in the doc
Kubrick sounds like JK Simmons character in 'Whiplash'
My childhood was just trying to prepare me for being a great actor.
Kubrick is a legit genius, they say movie directors are the last Dictatorship left lol

No disrespect ,I am sorry
They are absolutely entitled to thier word...i think it's pretty fucking obvious that perhaps they arent the foremost authority on Stanley fucking Kubrick... The fact there's a doll doppelganger of her in back ground might just be a big give away on the accuracy of the information and by they manner in which they are discussing its all very tongue in cheek I can pick this up and I've got fucking aspergers lol 😂
And by the way it's more of a discussion and they are more than entitled to talk about who they like.
Just like I'm entitled to call you a fucking Mongo and a threat to free speech.
Don’t apologize ❤️
I have taken acting classes and have had to do scenes that were famous movie scenes but serious and emotional. I never had any problem with any of the girls in class getting actually upset. I'm pretty easy going as a person but as an actor I get very intense (because it is fun). I just have a little conversation before we do the piece. "OK, I'm going to do some fucked up things. I'm not going to really tell you what they are so you react, but I am offering the trigger warning. It's going to get seriously fucked up in a minute." Then after, we can laugh about it. Most of the women actors I have dealt with are really cool people. Hell, these are the roles they want to play too.
