he is right of course...100 billion stars each with about 8 planets....that's 800 billion planets in our galaxy the Milky Way...that's 1 galaxy in the midst of trillions...however it seems that nature made the distance between stars to be vast so as to have no relationship between any two solar systems...he wants us separate from other worlds..

@Idattani Can you not just accept that film is subjective? You think you're right about him not being the best film maker but perhaps his films just don't appeal to you as much as Ozu, Bresson or Godard's. To someone else, Kubrick's films may completely resonate with them or they may find his style particularly beautiful or moving. Also, how do you know that Kubrick fans haven't studied these other directors? It's very ignorant of you to assume that they haven't.

[Idattani]

@StrawberryJungle How are those names even obscure? The point i am making is that it is complete ignorance for people to assert Kubrick as the head honcho of filmmaking when they haven't even seen or studied the work of such essential directors as Ozu, Bresson or Godard to name just a few.

@Idattani You can try and be a film hipster all you want. Throwing out obscure names here and there to try and prove your 'intelligence'. You say Kubrick is pretentious? YOU are pretentious.

Also just a footnote: Kubrick ISN'T pretentious, he is a true cinematic artist and just because he's well known it does not diminish that. His films are warm but can be exuberantly chilling and they sit in the brain long after the initial viewing.

is this the only videotaped iv of kubrich?

[Idattani]

@jsilence418 hahahaha I knew it, just proves my point that Kubrick-geeks have never even experienced true art on the level of Ozu but think they have divine right to anoint Kubrick as best director that ever lived, while continuing to be blissfully ignorant of the true masters of the craft!

[jsilence418]

@Idattani Correct I have never seen an Ozu film. If I had, I have no doubt I would pick up all his idiosyncrasies. while you were picking up pop corn! you on the other hand could not nor have sat through any Svanmajer film!

[Idattani]

@jsilence418 You didn't dispute it any way, you simply resorted to petulant slurs like most Kubrick-geeks do when backed into a corner. Tarantino? I would think someone like you who thinks Stanley K is the quintessence of good art and taste would be more inclined to gravitate toward Tarantino being that his work is seeping with an almost equal amount of pretentiousness.

ROFL. Bet you have never seen an Ozu film.

@Idattani I just did dipute it stupid lol and you lost! too ashamed to come up with a good response? go home and watch your tarantino films like a good loser.

[Idattani]

@jsilence418 Yep just like i thought, you can't dispute that either of those directors i listed are better than the overrated Kubrick. Go home and watch Godard little boy, come back when you have seen TRUE ART, not pretentiousness masquerading as art.
