I like all the upskirt shots on the second page. I tend to think of that as a recent phenomenon.

They had insufferable, tatted and pierced hipsters back then too? Who'd a thunk?

Assuming that the guy with the camera in the background of the first photo is Kubrick, does anyone else think he looks a lot like Timothy Omundson?

I really like that shot: Kubrick with The Kubrick-eyes.

These people were called freaks. They were employed at carnivals and circus sideshows - their job was to make the rest of us feel normal.

I blame silicone and tofu.

Women had a shape then. Now they're either pumped up AWs or look like emaciated boys.

As a long-time Kubrick fan, I enjoyed this. I'm hoping to get the last of my old VHS Kubrick movies on DVD for Christmas. Only 3 left to go.

/What do you mean Best Buy doesn't have "Barry Lyndon" on the $4.99 Mega Saver rack...

Its not just thier shape its their style. They looked and dressed like (GASP) women. Thats an era of style that needs to come back ASAP.

He's in his 30's.

Some of these images just look like he was living in one of his own movies.

And you know, considering how vastly different his films were you take his eye for granted until you really contemplate his compositions and mastery of photography.

I met a guy yesterday that never heard of "A Clockwork Orange". Same age. I think this means we're getting old.

When men start wearing insufferable business suits daily, then I'll start wearing insufferable dresses daily.

That being said, yes they are all very glamorous.

Age is no excuse. I'm probably about the same age as that guy and enjoyed "A Clockwork Orange" quite a bit, and know who Kubrick is.

I'm 28 and I had a college professor that actually made us watch that movie. Not for any particular reason other than it was awesome. This was a class where we sculpted or did performance art so it's not like he needed a break or anything.

That was back in the days when woman dressed to go out in public. Now days they are more likely to pull on some sweats, and flip flops; forget about doing makeup and hair. Men also used to know how to dress.

Nowadays people look like slobs or hookers even when going out to dinner, job interviews, weddings/church or even jury duty.

You sound like you have some kids to go chase off your lawn, and possibly some clouds to yell at...

Kubrick's favorite typeface was Futura Extra Bold - somebody made a clip from The Shining using only those letters.

In his defense, he probably saw that crappy Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman film and was so traumatized he blocked everything Kubrick out of his memory.

The more I watch 'Eyes Wide Shut' the more I like it - especially when you pay attention to very specific moods/colors in scenes, and iconography of the x-mas trees. It may not be action packed, or draw a wide opinion of society, but when it comes to marriage, trust, and jealousy, it's solid.

Now, A.I. Artificial Intelligence - Spielberg borked that one up royally.
