there are also collectors editions of 2001, clockwork, and full metal jacket that comes with the soundtrack, a 70mm film still and 16 page booklet (or something like that, not sure about the 70mm still for all of them)

also for lolita, strangelove, clockwork, barry, shinning, and full metal jacket there are the original mono releases and then new 5.1 realeases and anamorphic. (i think lolita remained in mono though).

and there are also 1 if not 2 other versions of spartacus that arent the criterion edition

Eventually they will find a way to release special editions and ultra special editions of each. The cash will be flowing, and I plan to get a piece of the action.

Kubrick would be rolling in his grave. Like I said before, that movie is never taken seriously enough. Musta been all that borderline comedy stuff at the beginning. Sigh...

Post by: Gold Trumpet on January 27, 2003, 03:36:01 PM
Kubrick's a hard believer in just letting the movie speak for itself. That's why he never did audio commentaries or put a lot of extras onto his dvds because he thought that even interviews, or documentaries would be speaking too much for interpretation on the film. It's sad because I would love for his dvds to have so many extra things to it, even like things relating to the history of the film and all that, not interpretational things.

I've heard of a special edition coming out for each movie and all, but I have no hopes of any anytime soon.

There are a lot of Kubrick movies that need to be made Criterion except just Spartacus, which is a good film at best and not really a Kubrick film anyways.

I love FMJ too and I agree with you... I was just saying whoever wrote that tagline (probably a studio exec or a studio exec's trained monkey) probably thinks it's a joke.

Post by: Gold Trumpet on January 27, 2003, 04:44:50 PM
Nothing really to prove. Kubrick controls every single aspect of marketing, from what goes on the posters to what exact newspapers advertisements the movie will go in. Kubrick even has had movie theatres change their seating, like one time when he had the first two rows of a cinema taken out because he felt it was too close to the screen. Kubrick even has personally has called up theatres around the world when hearing complaints of his film being out of focus. this is no bullshit. He is the absolute controller of everything that goes into the marketing and the closest any studio exec will ever get near what he does is by seeing an advertisement in a local paper for one of his films and pissing on it. Kubrick either wrote that himself or he approved it.
He likely wrote it since he is the main person doing the marketing for his movies.

1. That is a new tagline for a new edition.

2. Kubrick is dead.

That's new for me actually. Even so, restored poster was made before Kubrick died as he supervised the special edition dvd collection released right after he died.

apparently, one of kubrick's close friends (whose name escapes me) had seen kubrick pile up all this footage in the corner of his house that the man never used in his movies.  this includes outtakes, deleted scenes, and alternate takes for every single one of his films.  in kubrick's will, his friend was given specific instructions to take all the footage down to a field and burn it, which is what he did.

i always thought the tagline shouldve been "We will gouge your eyeballs out and skull-fuck you". also the tagline for Eyes Wide Shut "Cruise Kidman Kubrick"was terrible and A. Buttfucking Kubrick by changing the movie for the rating system and then B. Not even having the common courtesey to give a reach-around and release it unrated for the DVD was a crime.

That's why I figured there wouldn't be any great special editions coming out, so I asked for the box set for Christmas.  The Kubrick: A Life in Pictures documentary kicks ass!  It's good to have the films because all of them are classics.

A few questions:

Is there a widescreen version of Dr. Strangelove on DVD?

So the difference between the A Clockwork Orange Kubrick Collection edition and the Special Collector's Edition 2 disc set is that the second disc is an audio soundtrack CD and there is a "making-of" booklet and a frame still?  

Does anyone have this edition?  And is it really worth it?

I thought the cruise, kidman, kubrick tagline was cool. kubrick is one of the few directors who could get away with that.

Post by: lamas on March 28, 2003, 03:05:22 PM
I guess I found out the answer to my Dr. Strangelove question but I have another:

Does the 2001 DVD from the Kubrick Collection have the same film transfer as the Limited Collector's Edition 2-disc set with its "Fully restored widescreen version, digitally mastered for optimal picture and audio quality from new elements created for the Video Master, sourced from the 65MM Super Panavision 70 original camera negative and 6-Track magnetic sound masters"?
Title: wats with his dvd's?..
Post by: bonanzataz on March 29, 2003, 04:54:33 PM
Depends which edition of 2001 you have. If you bought the original one with mono sound, then no. If you bought the new one with 5.1 sound, then it's the same transfer but with the soundtrack, box, and still frame.

That's not a friend at all...
I don't care how close this guy was w/ Kubrick, he is solely responsible for so much dissapointment that I'm convinced we should hunt him down and doublecheck that he actually did this before we force him to start writing the world's longest apology letter...

I strongly advise you to not buy the collection as a new one is on its way, as a matter of fact I did mention this before but here it goes again.

'You might want to hold your buying of the DVD box set, Jan Harlan recently told in a Q&A that another collection with more extras is on the works. That would make it the third one.'

Wow, I'm glad I read that Q&A thing w/ Harlan.

I have yet to buy the Kubrick box set (I already had a few of the DVDs) and recently made the mistake of buying the Deluxe Edition of 2001 (such a waste of money for nothing more than a booklet and a film frame) so I'll continue to hold out if this new box set might come around...

Maybe it could be a good time to sell it, I don't think many people know about this, not that you would screw them because the new one hasn't been put on sale yet nor has a release date, but the value of the older box set will drop when the new one comes out (IMO).

Shit......there will always be a new box set out.  In 30 years they'll find some new footage in a basement somewhere and put out a new one.  Just buy the dvd now and get it over with...you could die tomorrow.

Speaking of Kubrick having control of every aspect of his films, I read that he even changed The Shining after it's first week in the theatres.  At the end there was a scene with mother and son in a hospital after the whole ordeal.  Kind of a 'they made it out OK' scene.  I'm glad he took it out...the ending, as it stands, is perfect.

The scene involved Wendy, Danny and Ulman at a hospital right before they leave the Overlook, anyway, Ulman throws the tennis ball to Danny then it faded for the shot of Jack's 1928 picture.
