P.S. The most enjoyably Kubrickian film I have seen since Kubrick is "Punch-Drunk Love". I think I'll create a web page for that someday . . .

maybe you should read the first post of the introduction thread after all, just so you know who you're dealing with here..

For what it's worth, I think this "special features" DVD stuff is so much rubbish. Who needs it? Just give me the films. I remember seeing a Kubrick retrospective at the L.A. County Museum of Art some years back. The guy running the show (someone who had something to do with the Criterion Collection, I think) announced that he had spoken with Kubrick on the telephone to ask him how he (Kubrick) wanted the introductions to the films to run. Kubrick replied, "Just show the films." This is how I feel with the Kubrick DVDs.
True, but it couldn't hurt, long as in the process they also create a great transfer of the movies themselves. Special features can help to understand the picture's placement in time and space, so to say.

The following is from an on-line chat with executives from Warner Home Video, held on Monday, February 26th on The Home Theater Forum:


[Adam_Santangelo] Thanks for my Ultimate Superman set. It was a big part of my life in Q4 2006. Can you give us the full scoop on the upcoming Kubrick SEs (titles, extras)? I'm specifically curious about thoughts on 16:9/5.1 vs. Kubrick's 4:3/mono preference. I think we're all hoping for the full range of viewing options, or at least official word on what Mr. Kubrick wanted us to see on home video... Thanks

[WARNER] We're glad you enjoyed the Superman set. We're not ready to reveal details on this year's Kubrick promotion as they are still somewhat formulating, but a promotion will definitely be in stores before Xmas.

Bullshit.

Some HD-DVD copies of The Ultimate Matrix Collection (due in stores next Tuesday) will come packaged with a pamphlet promoting the forthcoming high-def release (in both formats) of Blade Runner and a number of Stanley Kubrick films including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and the unrated Eyes Wide Shut. All are expected before the end of the year.

A full press release is yet to be issued, but we do have some preliminary information, prices and even some artwork for you...

YES!!!  :onfire:

I wonder which features EWS will have, that is the one I'm more excited about, The Shining too.

WTF is with the artwork of ACO not having the 'A'?  :nono:
