An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).
I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.
My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!
@fede018 I think he was perfect - however he was actually the second choice as warner bros demanded that for Stanley to get the money to make the film he had to cast a big star to play Redmond Barry.
@toucansam3 the only reason kubrick's movies, starting with the 1968 movie "2001" require patience is because that's when he started ripping off the slow style of italian director michelanglo antonioni, no matter what the subject matter, including the j.d. movie CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
BARRY LYNDON, CLOCKWORK ORANGE, 2001----same way too slow antonioni style.
@monk22yrs I don't think its too slow, I love Kubrick's pacing. If anything, Kubrick improved upon Antonini's style. I love 2001, the most brilliant film ever made. Patience may be required, but its never boring.
@toucansam3 i like parts of all of kubrick's movies, though the trippy ending of the musical (!) AN AMERICAN IN PARIS is more fun to watch, repeatedly, than the light show of "2001".
antonioni's THE PASSENGER moved fast enough, till the terrific climax, and then it was all done in one slow shot---which probably annoys the avg viewer; THE PASSENGER ending is as painterly as BARRY LYNDON
BARRY LYNDON also has some awkward jess franco zooms, though franco used them to work cheap and fast.
@monk22yrs Lyndon is a flawed film, there's no arguing that, the biggest flaw being Ryan O'Neal. Unfortunately, the studio made Kubrick go with O'Neal as he had to go with one of the top five grossing actors of the time.
The "light show" of 2001 is by no means the best part of the film. 2001's problem (and the only problem in my opinion) is that you kind of have to read the AC Clarke book to understand what's going on. Otherwise, the film does seem like a bit of a mess to the average viewer.
@toucansam3 everybody, including professional critics, hate o'neal in LYNDON; but for me, hardy kruger and the actor from ALFIE playing a preacher/teacher seem out of place, having seen them numerous times in other films before LYNDON.
dumb o'neal named a kid redmond---never mind the character was a scumbag; another o'neal kid on heroin.
"2001" is a classic, though out-dated; the ussr still existing, women before women's lib, and an easy flight to jupiter, ten years ago!
@monk22yrs 2001 is dated, but that doesn't hurt it at all, I still think it holds up well. Its special effects certainly do, I think it looks better than many sci fi movies made today. CGI is overused and overblown, less technical means of creating special effects often have a better result. Just compare the original cuts of the Star Wars films to the "special editions", the new special effects only take away from the films.
@toucansam3 i wonder if anybody born after kubrick's movie, raised on STAR WARS, has the patience for "2001"...the maker of the STAR TREK reboot claimed even STAR TREK had to have STAR WARS action!
i like out-dated sci-fi, including 50s stuff---and kubrick, in a couple movies, was influenced by george pal.
nothing wrong with "2001" effects---though ray harryhausen didn't think much of them. and ray bradbury prefers CLOSE ENCOUNTERS to 2001!!! (cause of the emotional difference)
@monk22yrs 2001 was a piece of artistry. i doubt i would have preferred it to star wars as a kid but once i was 18 or so i did. the effects were done in such a subtle way that they hold up these days. he didn't try anything too fancy, i think he was going for a futuristic movie that could stand the test of time, and he had a lot of foresight to do that right.
@Cannibalization most kubrick movies...are...boring, thugh they have some really great moments, which is why his fans put up with all the boring stuff in them.
i even have BARRY LYNDON on dvd; paid 5 bucks for it at nearby grocery store.
I finally got this movie on dvd! Sweet! This incredible movie is a Stanley Kubrick jewel in itself! Notice the actor in the fencing scene is Steven Berkof! As lengthy as this movie is without a doubt this movie is truly worth watching...even on a rainy day or night! I'm so happy to have this beautiful movie at last plus, I so love the music that accompanies this movie! Watch this movie folks, you won't be disappointed! :)
The attention to detail, the incredible effort in this film to accurately and faithfully depict the world of the 18th century is truly amazing!
I remember one scene, where Barry is having a birthday celebration for his young son. They have a magician performing magic tricks, that is a spot-on recreation of the way it would actually have been done in the late 1700's England.
@vittoriostoraro I dont know, the scene when the couple kiss is just poorly photographed, you can't see their faces, and it's kind of annoying because of that. At 0:43 there's also a bad shot, in my opinion, or maybe because in my own work i am a perfectionist and i try everything to be simmetric and all. But i agree that the quality of the video isn't the best and makes the film looks ugly.
My top 10 Kubrick Films. Just my order of preference 10. Lolita 9. Dr. Strangelove 8. Spartacus 7. Full Metal Jacket 6. Eyes Wide Shut 5. The Shining 4. Paths of Glory 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2. Barry Lyndon 1. A Clockwork Orange. This is MY list. No one else's. If this list wasn't in the order you wanted to, don't bother bitching, because it will just be ignored.
@fede018 Well you seem to care, since you commented to deliberately insult me. Plus, would it ever occur to you that my opinion and general outlook on things could have changed over the course of six months? Don't you have anything better to do than to flip through all the comment pages, just to find the one that pisses you off the most? Get a life, troll.
I had not seen Barry Lyndon till a few weeks ago and wow, it was amazing, one of the most beautiful and sumptuous visual films ever made. But it was also filled with scenes of charm, humour, pathos, suspense and humanity. Kubrick is my hero, I love the way that man made movies.
It's incredible to me how horrible this trailer is and how it reflects almost none of what the movie actually is. Whereas most trailers now are actually better than the movie.
@Concretshky It came 27th in Sight and Sound's best film 2002 poll which is probably the most prestigious and only semi-accurate best film poll around so I wouldn't really say it's underrated. It's a masterpiece and among people who are serious about film it is a popular choice for Kubrick's best film and considered one of the greatest films ever.
@LiamCrowley1990 Alright, but I wouldn't exactly consider polls and writings as a full token of appreciation for any film. I'd rather analyze how the films are treated in cultural references - like when people speak of The Godfather and Citizen Kane the masterpieces of filmmaking. Barry Lyndon is missing among such glorifications even though it deserves its praise . It's also quite neglected among other Kubrick films such as A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove or 2001.
@Concretshky Yeah, I can see what you mean. If you asked the general public what their favourite SK film was I imagine you wouldn't hear Barry Lyndon very much. It is a shame, I prefer this to Citizen Kane to be honest, I think this is tremendous.
Barry Lyndon is not a movie you just watch one time and remember it. He just lives in you, and grows in you. This movie takes a place in my mind that any other movie takes ( even Apocalypse Now that I considered for a long time as the best movie ever filmed ). This film is, I think, the most perfect movie ever created about life.
About Kubrick, I would say the same thing I said about Beethoven. I wouldn't say that Beethoven was the best composer of history ; I would say that Beethoven was the best Beethoven of history. Well, Kubrick was the best Kubrick of history. It's this kind of artists who just are them, and nothing else. Kubrick films are not films, this is Kubrick's films. It's not the same thing. Kubrick's films are so different from other films that this is not just films ; this is KUBRICK's films.
As a lover of Kubrick flims since I was 10 years old, this was one flim, that oddly, did not catch my eye. I fact, I had never seen any pictures from the movie, no trailer for it nor read about it. It did not interested me based on the cover for the film - I still believe it was a bad choice. I was it was on netflix instance, so I decided to watch it. I am so happy I saw this flim without knowing a thing. Spielberg was right, once you start watching his movies, you just cant stop
For all who don't understand, watch again. For kissing a man: (paraphrase) ''Kiss me my lad for we shall never meet again''. He lost the only man who cared about him and loved him. 3 moments for tears: death of Grogan, confession to chevalier and death of a son. Sincere, emotional, hearthbreaking Kubrick's work. Touch of a master.
The story of a parvenu. A very ambitious man with poor origins wants to climb into high society y and get accepted, and he pays a price. A class-conscius world dominated by the importance of money and social position. Today Barry Lyndon would be an unscrupulous executive of Lehman Brothers.
There is a background theme/lesson in each of Kubrick's films. The theme in Barry Lyndon is one ot lust and greed, the desire to achieve a place in high society where one does not belong and the consequences that await. A story of jealousy and envy and the misfortunes that might await an underserving social climber. AND...a damned good story if you just stay awake. The Oscar winning cinematography should keep you riveted to the screen anyway. One of my very favorite films of all time.

This movie is vastly underrated and criminally unwatched. it is a haunting and brilliant masterpiece from one of the the greatest directors of all time.
@Sobchak420 I agree, but Stanley Kucbrick is also the most pretentious director of all time, i am not a Kubrick fan personally, but i'm not a nerd and i've watched most of his movies, except for A Clockwork Orange, because i am not sure that i will like that kind of movie. Even i didn't like 2001.
@WiltatKansas What exactly do you think is so pretentious about Kubrick anyway? Just curious because people like to throw around that word like it means something.
@lanser87 What? 2001 is the most pretentious movie of all time. Even his wife admited that Stanley was verfy spoiled by his parents when he was a child and, of course, he was anyway a genius, but he liked to seem more genius than he already was.
@WiltatKansas Fuck his wife. Every single Kubrick film is adapted from a book so if anyone is pretentious it would be the writers of the books he adapted to screenplays. Or maybe his taste in literature was just too pretentious? LOL!
I thought 2001 was amazing not only for its beautiful cinematography conveying the circular nature of life but its theme of our tools overtaking us. It's very much a prophetic film that I can't imagine being topped.
@lanser87 2001 is a movie that even today I couldn't understand, even the critics say that's suspicious of to trying to draw attention to Kubrickself.
@WiltatKansas Fuck critics too. They rarely know what they're talking about because film is an art form. It's subjective.
Apparently you only took pretension from 2001 but i whole heartedly disagree. It's a mile stone film that has influenced a whole generation of filmmakers including myself. You're speaking blasphemy because everyone knows Kubrick was God. But ofcourse that's only true if you take the time to understand his films.
@lanser87 I hate when i do not understand a movie becuase i'm thinking to myself, wtf, i came here to watch a story not to watch how a director shows his vanity.
@WiltatKansas LOL the story is still there. And i think by vanity you mean self indulgent but none of his films are self indulgent. They're seamless.
Just because the ideas aren't simple doesn't mean there isn't a story. I could understand if you were talking about a David Lynch film that tends to throw random shit at you and expect you to understand but this is Kubrick. The man's work is very structured, seamless and straight forward in my opinion.
@lanser87 That's not the word i used, i'm referring to the oyster scene in Spartacus, to the moon with the face of a baby in 2001, to his last movie eyes wide shut, i'm just saying that he looks like if he was a little self-conscious and he needed to prove always a little more than it's just necessary.
This is my favorite Kubrick film. They all are good and reveal something about the way things work around us but this one is shot beatifully, the music is awesome and the story is presented simply.
I love the part in which he will meet the best people like the best people who stayed at the Overlook hotel and who have strange sex parties a la Eyes wide Shut.
this film is extremely entertaining, amazingly beautiful, emotionally draining, visually stunning, utterly engaging, unbelievably epic, well- acted, and perfectly shot. for any other film to win best picture over barry lyndon is total blasphemy and blatant robbery
it's unfortunate that for most of us the local video store will never have it on hand or shown on TV...at the tender age of 39-I've been watching war films and Kubrick sine I was knee high to a grasshopper and until 15 minutes ago I had never heard of the film/book. Although I just say Dr. Strangelove.is was on the best movies ever made- watch it with The Russian are coming as a Cold War Comedy double feature, if there's time make it a triple and include Wilder's One, Two, Three!
Incredible and yes terribly underrated film about Barry's inferiority complex after the betrayal of his beloved cousin... :D
Is anybody disturbed about Grogan's role in the deception to Barry that he KILLED SOMEBODY, was being chased by authorities and then compelled him to join the army after shamefully losing what he believed to be his entire family fortune? And still Quin is with his girl at the end of all that! I'd be fuming :)
It''s a good a thing I didn't see this trailer before watching the film; I would have never seen it if that were the case. Not only does it show scenes critical to the movie, but the man doing the voice over simply quotes reviews in a monotone voice.
They should have taken a page from ACWO's brief trailer.
Its the celluloid version of an artist/artist's master work(s).
Gainsboro, Constable, Hogarth etc etc
Some of the interior shots are just 'mind blowing' in form, texture...and exquisite lighting...they really do look like barely moving 'oil paintings'.
Almost forgot...a brilliant story, superbly told and acted...they don't make them like this anymore and unfortunately I don't think they ever will.
Looked stunning on large LCD upscaled 1080p...I am so looking forward to the blu ray version.
@tommybass40 I agree. I love Kubrick. I have been in love with most (most since, at the time, I had not seen all his movies) of his movies. Now, at current, I can say all his movies. This movie really did not interest me, based on the cover. I know, bad move!! I still believe it is a bad cover. This was a VERY well done film. I bet he spent years on this project, and it paid off. Lastly, I will add, I was shocked it was in color. I had never seen pictures or a trailer...just the cover
this is probably the most beautiful movie i've ever seen....and its my top 2 fav movie....the first is clockwork orange....but ya i love this movie...
Good point, I am not sure though. If there were hidden meanings in his movies, he would give hints to the fact in the trailer, prmo posters and so on. I am going to read more about this movie, find out about it's sub text. for example, Barry is doomed from the start, when ever you see him the camera will zoom out to a huge landscape shot, the idea being that Barry is under the influence of a greater picture, ie, he has no individual control.
SoylentGreenlSHUNGRY : Really ? This is so stupid ! Luckiky I hadn't seen the trailer before seing the movie =) Great movie, Soylent Green, by the way ! Barry Lyndon is so great too.
Rumor has it director McG (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, We Are Marshall) is in talks to direct a remake of Stanley Kubrick's 18th-century epic Barry Lyndon.
How awful! All of his films are awful! Why must films be remade?! They're never as good, look at the remake of Psycho or even the remake of Kubrick's Lolita, which, the original version, is my favourite film.
...but Kubrick changed the content for the screen in both those books, in fact, many of his movies, he changes the book's content to suit himself. He would use the pulling power a book has, use it to get finance for his films...and then change things to meet his own means. Kubrick, you could argue, had little respect for his source material. An already existing work of literature would still not be as important, to Kubrick, as the movie he was about to make, if you follow what I'm getttng at.
That's because Kubrick saw making a film as something which shouldn't just be copied from the source material. In other words he did stamp his identity onto it.
there were, of course, those artistic reasons, but he was no fool either. He knew, for example, doing a best selling Stephen King novel would attract studio money and get bums on seats. He was as much a pragmatist as he was an artist.
damn son, you wanna hear blasphemy? people hear stanley kubrick, they go, "oh yeah, that's 2001, Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange, and Dr. Strangelove. Meanwhile, this gem of modern cinema goes overlooked. Nigga, I looked for fifteen days and I didn't see a single Blockbuster that had this on DVD.
This is a kickass movie. It is a shame how more people have seen movies like 2012 and Saw when movies like these exist.

Barry Lyndon is not a movie you just watch one time and remember it. He just lives in you, and grows in you. This movie takes a place in my mind that any other movie takes ( even Apocalypse Now that I considered for a long time as the best movie ever filmed ). This film is, I think, the most perfect movie ever created about life.

About Kubrick, I would say the same thing I said about Beethoven. I wouldn't say that Beethoven was the best composer of history ; I would say that Beethoven was the best Beethoven of history. Well, Kubrick was the best Kubrick of history. It's this kind of artists who just are them, and nothing else. Kubrick films are not films, this is Kubrick's films. It's not the same thing. Kubrick's films are so different from other films that this is not just films ; this is KUBRICK's films.

As a lover of Kubrick flims since I was 10 years old, this was one flim, that oddly, did not catch my eye. I fact, I had never seen any pictures from the movie, no trailer for it nor read about it. It did not interested me based on the cover for the film - I still believe it was a bad choice. I was it was on netflix instance, so I decided to watch it. I am so happy I saw this flim without knowing a thing. Spielberg was right, once you start watching his movies, you just cant stop

For all who don't understand, watch again. For kissing a man: (paraphrase) ''Kiss me my lad for we shall never meet again''. He lost the only man who cared about him and loved him. 3 moments for tears: death of Grogan, confession to chevalier and death of a son. Sincere, emotional, hearthbreaking Kubrick's work. Touch of a master.

The story of a parvenu. A very ambitious man with poor origins wants to climb into high society y and get accepted, and he pays a price. A class-conscius world dominated by the importance of money and social position. Today Barry Lyndon would be an unscrupulous executive of Lehman Brothers.
MrAntinoo 1 year ago
There is a background theme/lesson in each of Kubrick's films. The theme in Barry Lyndon is one ot lust and greed, the desire to achieve a place in high society where one does not belong and the consequences that await. A story of jealousy and envy and the misfortunes that might await an underserving social climber. AND...a damned good story if you just stay awake. The Oscar winning cinematography should keep you riveted to the screen anyway. One of my very favorite films of all time.

His character was neither gay nor bisexual.
The kiss was to express a platonic love; the kind of love that one has for one's friends.
Yes, it's easy for us to exclaim, "But I would never kiss my friends!"
But, remember one thing: Today's society and culture are very different from those of the past.

@lanser87 What? 2001 is the most pretentious movie of all time. Even his wife admited that Stanley was verfy spoiled by his parents when he was a child and, of course, he was anyway a genius, but he liked to seem more genius than he already was.
WiltatKansas 1 year ago
@WiltatKansas Fuck his wife. Every single Kubrick film is adapted from a book so if anyone is pretentious it would be the writers of the books he adapted to screenplays. Or maybe his taste in literature was just too pretentious? LOL!
I thought 2001 was amazing not only for its beautiful cinematography conveying the circular nature of life but its theme of our tools overtaking us. It's very much a prophetic film that I can't imagine being topped.
lanser87 1 year ago
@lanser87 2001 is a movie that even today I couldn't understand, even the critics say that's suspicious of to trying to draw attention to Kubrickself.

@WiltatKansas Fuck critics too. They rarely know what they're talking about because film is an art form. It's subjective.
Apparently you only took pretension from 2001 but i whole heartedly disagree. It's a mile stone film that has influenced a whole generation of filmmakers including myself. You're speaking blasphemy because everyone knows Kubrick was God. But ofcourse that's only true if you take the time to understand his films.

@WiltatKansas LOL the story is still there. And i think by vanity you mean self indulgent but none of his films are self indulgent. They're seamless.
Just because the ideas aren't simple doesn't mean there isn't a story. I could understand if you were talking about a David Lynch film that tends to throw random shit at you and expect you to understand but this is Kubrick. The man's work is very structured, seamless and straight forward in my opinion.

@lanser87 That's not the word i used, i'm referring to the oyster scene in Spartacus, to the moon with the face of a baby in 2001, to his last movie eyes wide shut, i'm just saying that he looks like if he was a little self-conscious and he needed to prove always a little more than it's just necessary.

Incredible and yes terribly underrated film about Barry's inferiority complex after the betrayal of his beloved cousin... :D
Is anybody disturbed about Grogan's role in the deception to Barry that he KILLED SOMEBODY, was being chased by authorities and then compelled him to join the army after shamefully losing what he believed to be his entire family fortune? And still Quin is with his girl at the end of all that! I'd be fuming :)

It''s a good a thing I didn't see this trailer before watching the film; I would have never seen it if that were the case. Not only does it show scenes critical to the movie, but the man doing the voice over simply quotes reviews in a monotone voice.
They should have taken a page from ACWO's brief trailer.

Its the celluloid version of an artist/artist's master work(s).
Gainsboro, Constable, Hogarth etc etc
Some of the interior shots are just 'mind blowing' in form, texture...and exquisite lighting...they really do look like barely moving 'oil paintings'.
Almost forgot...a brilliant story, superbly told and acted...they don't make them like this anymore and unfortunately I don't think they ever will.
Looked stunning on large LCD upscaled 1080p...I am so looking forward to the blu ray version.

Good point, I am not sure though. If there were hidden meanings in his movies, he would give hints to the fact in the trailer, prmo posters and so on. I am going to read more about this movie, find out about it's sub text. for example, Barry is doomed from the start, when ever you see him the camera will zoom out to a huge landscape shot, the idea being that Barry is under the influence of a greater picture, ie, he has no individual control.

Because Lolita is a book by Nabokov and Barry Lyndon is a book by Thackeray, so Stanley Kubrick doesn't have the monopoly over them.
shanekeane200123456 2 years ago
...but Kubrick changed the content for the screen in both those books, in fact, many of his movies, he changes the book's content to suit himself. He would use the pulling power a book has, use it to get finance for his films...and then change things to meet his own means. Kubrick, you could argue, had little respect for his source material. An already existing work of literature would still not be as important, to Kubrick, as the movie he was about to make, if you follow what I'm getttng at.

That's because Kubrick saw making a film as something which shouldn't just be copied from the source material. In other words he did stamp his identity onto it.
