You have an intricate knowledge of Kubrick and I really enjoy reading what you post about him, P.
Usually when I find texts on Kubrick they're either somewhat condescending to Kubrick or they announce that they know who he was and what he was doing without a shadow of a doubt, which as you've illustrated, undermines many avenues of his films. I'm a big Kubrick fan, but nowhere near the biggest. I'm really engaged into how you're able to formulate all of this.
