I don't know whether or not it's true that Kubrick actively feared flying. I know that completely eschewing work related travel, gave him a social and professional distance, from the industry, that could definitely have been useful to him... Even celebrities had to go to him, to literally his country estate, to take meetings... I don't know what his declared/official cause of death was. He did die shortly after turning in a director's cut of Eyes Wide Shut, so presumably the shift in physical strain, when the movie was finished, is what killed him. I've heard from people who knew him and worked with him that Kubrick's drug of choice was pure oxygen - he liked to huff oxygen as a stimulant and always had a tank close at hand... and was also a multiple packs a day chain smoker. So whatever the specific cause of death was, that peculiar combination of personal habits, and what it did to his lungs and heart, is certainly what got him. Kubrick, I've been told, died in bed, while grabbing for the oxygen. (I was in a FB group for a while with a bunch of guys who were older than me, who'd worked on the last couple of Kubrick movies, and those comment threads are my source - )

Funny - is that unrelated? Was it in this thread I brought up The Day Of The Locust? (Schlesinger's next movie) I saw Midnight Cowboy once when I was 19 and I don't remember much about it at all, except that it was really great, and I probably shouldn't have watched it tripping (it set off a "bad trip" moment of crisis... Not a big deal kind of episode, but I'll never forget how icky that movie made me feel) I really need to see it again...

@@roganmarshall4610 nope, was just on my mind as I watched Midnight Cowboy a couple of nights back (it's guaranteed at least an annual viewing chez Haircastle). What a film. It has a singular power over me, probably as it's also my father's favourite. We watch it together. Haven't seen Day of the Locust though - now I need to watch that. I'm REALLY enjoying your reviews dude. They are genuinely brilliant and I'm learning from each of them (as a nerdy film grad myself).

I'll actually reply more tomorrow, because from here, right now, your comments and my unfinished replies are appearing and disappearing...

@@terryhaircastle5702 I have two cats, both female. They look identical except for the light orange flame burst mark on Zo's head. Zo is the one who always crashed my videos, when she hears me talking to my phone she comes running

@@roganmarshall4610 they're real characters. I've got a rescue, Pattie, who's gone from super shy to shouting at me over the last 4 years. Took three days for her to emerge from behind the cupboard when I got her - now she's my personal secretary, never leaves my side 🐈‍⬛

@@roganmarshall4610 they're a fine pair of lady beasts. My cat Pattie was watching Zo closely on one of your reviews. Maybe they're comparing notes

@@terryhaircastle5702 thank you!

@@roganmarshall4610 sorry for all the messages but just wanted to share a few requests in case you can ever get around to reviewing these: Night of The Hunter (1955) Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968) Midnight Cowboy (1969) Duel (1971) Westworld (1973) The Omen (1976) Taxi Driver (1976) Alien (1979) The Terminator (1984) Willow (1988) Batman (1989) American Movie (1999) Room 237 (2012) Bone Tomahawk (2015) Would love to hear your thoughts dude. Have a good one ✌️

@@terryhaircastle5702 THIS is the comment that hid from me last night... NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is one of my favorites... I still haven't read the novel, by I think Davis Grubb? Steve Bissette the comic book artist once raved about his short stories to me, if it's the same writer Also I'm a huge M R James fan but have not seen that Omnibus episode. Thanks for the recommendation! I've actually played it without watching it, because it wandered into a playlist of James audiobooks I was using to fall asleep... ...I intend to cover a bunch of obscure TV stuff, but I'm holding off until I learn how to do enough editing, to include clips... BBC is an infinite treasure trove of one off specials and short miniseries

@@RavenShinyThings I loved Babylon. My other favorite movie about the dark side of Hollywood is The Day of the Locust

@@RavenShinyThings one thing about Eyes Wide Shut, is, it's about dreams and fantasies... That is... It's not the Illuminati orgy we witness... It's Tom Cruise's character's fantasy about a party to which he's not invited. So his ideas about what the orgy is like, are really straightforward, entry level fantasy material... A pale shadow of the implicit actual orgy that may or may not have taken place

@@RavenShinyThings and yeah I think Kubrick probably meant to release the slightly more graphic version with an NC-17 rating... He just didn't live long enough to insist on winning those arguments

I never noticed about the clocks...

@@IslandGirlKelly I went to high school and college in Massachusetts (Shrewsbury, Worcester, Boston)

A North shore collaboration may just be what a few of us needs.

​@@IslandGirlKellyprobably easiest way/place to pm me is to friend me @ Facebook... And use Messenger... I never consistently check in and keep up, anywhere else

​@roganmarshall4610 Thanks, Ronan. I'm not on FaceBook, but I did just make a few calls. I'm going to have to wait. I found out what it will cost to get it made and sadly I would come up short.

@@domcrotty5784 I totally forgot I'd recorded this! I really wanted to make a movie or maybe just a podcast so I could play Silver John myself, and I worked up the weird accent reading the story to Red (my daughter Red Panther)... I recorded it to make sure I could do the accent again, if I ever follow through on an adaptation!

@@trydowave yeah, it's pretty undernourishing...

I was working in a Hollywood deli when they shot Waterworld... They had crew living on the floating fortress they built for the movie... Flying out for days off, by helicopter... At the time people said there's a six hour version of Waterworld with a whole bunch of smart SF detail, but I guess there's no interest in releasing a long version of a flop. (I like Waterworld too)

@@roganmarshall4610 that's awesome. Isn't there a 4K special edition that's a lot longer? I've never seen it though.

@@chrisduncan3943 oh, maybe! I should look into that...

@@roganmarshall4610 I think it's 40 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. It's an Arrow Video release on blu ray or 4k. I'm also a fan of Heaven's Gate which is kinda that same kind of huge budget flop lol.

@@chrisduncan3943 Heaven's Gate is one of the greatest movies ever made...

Events occur, Rogan. That's my polite way of saying that shit happens. 🤣 On a side note, you're looking and sounding well. I'm lighting a candle for you that things take a turn for the better for you. 🕯🙏🏻🕯

I'm doing fairly well... making most of my videos sitting up! That "so bad it's good" thing kind of starts around 1931 or so... maybe it was impossible to give those kinds of impressions without dialogue? I don't know... silent movies are bad because they're slow and they wander. The Crooked Circle is early, but this is the era in which small independent companies started making movies, and making up for a lack of money, equipment, and top line talent and training, with commitment and zaniness... That B movies were like this in the thirties, also explains a lot about Ed Wood (the Welles of indie "bad" filmmakers)... Wood grew up on THIS stuff. Wood was the guy who sat alone in a theater watching The Crooked Circle and poverty row pictures like it, and saw in them a vision for his own life and work

If you watch a whole lot of silent movies, you find it's German filmmakers who created/developed how to use pacing and timing, the way movies still do, now, pretty much. The Russians sort of invented using editing to tell the story, but lots of the standard moves used to put scenes together, to this day, first turn up in German movies, from 1920 to 1930, ish (that's about when all the talented German filmmakers started leaving Europe for the States)

It looks like I'm going to be talking about the original Nosferatu, about when the new one opens in theaters, which is pretty cool. (I haven't watched the trailer yet)

@@roganmarshall4610 I'm hoping it comes to my local theater when it comes out. Let's hope it doesn't suck like most remakes. But it was remade successfully once so we'll see

@@MelancoliaI yeah I really like the eighties version too... Klaus Kinski as the vampire is amazing... the Popol Vuh soundtrack is great too

You're not wrong

I didn't really grow up on the Hammer movies, for some reason local Cincinnati TV didn't show them much... though one of the first movies I remember really terrorizing me as a child, was the Hammer movie THE NANNY with Bette Davis

Hello! I did think you were two different people...I'll only worry if you start interacting with each other

thank you!

I've only been watching really, really old movies, lately... And I've been both too depressed, and working too many hours at the restaurant, to even do much of that! I'm starting to get into Tod Slaughter movies, I just watched The Demon Barber of Fleet Street a few nights ago...

Soon hopefully I'll be able to get Py and Zo fixed, and they can go outside... it's a quiet street, and we have a huge back yard. Once the cats can hang out, out there, I'll spend more time outside myself!

Oh, you know what, that might have been part of the problem, there. And not just a personality trait. (The first part of what I said to Rhonda was about my roommate, whose problem is mostly being heavily medicated... I really need to learn to be more sympathetic)

Dude, you're always my fact checker. I totally said "89" in the video, because some FB friend had that reversed, and then later I thought, no way he was that young

I'm doing my best... thank you

Hi! I'm okay enough. I'm kind of exhausted from work... I've had to spend most of my waking hours lying down and resting for most of the last week. But I'm okay... thanks for thinking of me

I'm actually convinced I will live forever, and it's going to get worse after I die, that this entire life is a trick to goad me into trying to escape punishment... I had to make sure my phone was turned off on my birthday, actually, because it's Red's birthday too, and when she calls and rants at me and hangs up on me, it really upsets me. Anyway no one could call me. I worked that night... only one person here knew it was my birthday, a waitress, and she gave me a key chain, so I actually got a present, which was awesome

I'm glad you're okay, I've been worried about you, but I didn't want to bug you and annoy you. I'm glad you're okay

I don't think I'm a bad person, in the sense that I do evil or destructive things. I mean, I'm not great, but I'm not lousy... I'm a bad person in the same sense that a book or a movie is "bad." No one can put up with being around me, no one can like me or relate to me or relax if I'm in the room. It's not possible to "love" me or "need" me. But no, as far as what people normally mean by a "bad person" - I sure have things to answer for, especially when I was young and drinking heavily, but generally speaking, I guess I'm a good person, as far as that goes. Good enough anyway

@@roganmarshall4610You're not a book or a movie. You're not bad just because other people don't like you, it sounds like you're basing yourself off of what other people think of you. It's not your fault that others have bad opinions of you. You're a person with valid feelings and you can do great things. Like you said, you are enough. So don't beat yourself up when you've done nothing wrong.

I'll be okay. I have to figure out some way to be okay, but I'll figure it out, I'm smart... Thank you for being kind

They always go after you, man. It's like the way I'm hidden half the time at Facebook. UA-cam plays algorithm games with me but they haven't straight up removed anything, I don't think. No, once I used "bad words" in a video title, and the video didn't post, but that was reasonable, I shouldn't have done it

thank you I wish the cats were more of a comfort to me. There's just no way I ca really protect them, from anything
