About Eyes Wide Shut and other things

MartinHSkidmore (4:14:30 AM): I think Kubrick knows deadpan and knows satire, but I didn't spot a lot of either in EWS
AnthonySEaston (4:15:23 AM): how can the papal masked orgy be anything but
MartinHSkidmore (4:16:03 AM): I don't recall that bit clearly, but ridiculous isn't necessarily the same as funny
AnthonySEaston (4:18:25 AM): it actually wasnt erotic at all, either
MartinHSkidmore (4:18:52 AM): yeah, I agree with that
AnthonySEaston (4:20:42 AM): its anti eroticism may have been part of the camp readng though
MartinHSkidmore (4:21:21 AM): or it may be part of a director who can't do human feeling, sexual or otherwise
AnthonySEaston (4:21:42 AM): he did human feeling well in barry lyndon
MartinHSkidmore (4:22:22 AM): I don't think I ever saw that, but it seemed a failing of his generally
AnthonySEaston (4:23:14 AM): i think that a cold analytical eye to human failings, and a fear of humanity isnt t he same as someone who cant do human feelings though?
MartinHSkidmore (4:24:01 AM): no it isn't, but I don't think he had those things
AnthonySEaston (4:24:59 AM): maybe hes an aspie
AnthonySEaston (4:25:07 AM): i connect to him as an aspie, in alot of ways
MartinHSkidmore (4:25:19 AM): that's an interesting point
MartinHSkidmore (4:25:26 AM): I have no idea about SK
MartinHSkidmore (4:25:41 AM): but I guess it gives you another way of relating to some films
AnthonySEaston (4:26:44 AM): to some art
AnthonySEaston (4:26:59 AM): to warhol, to kubrick, to baker in some ways
MartinHSkidmore (4:27:14 AM): Baker?
AnthonySEaston (4:28:24 AM): nicholson
MartinHSkidmore (4:28:53 AM): ah, good call
AnthonySEaston (4:29:12 AM): im not saying they do have aspergers, you know what i mean
MartinHSkidmore (4:29:18 AM): yeah, I know
MartinHSkidmore (4:29:27 AM): and it makes sense
MartinHSkidmore (4:29:45 AM): there's an interesting article in this, except I don't know who would be buying it
AnthonySEaston (4:31:09 AM): no one ever buys for much anyways
AnthonySEaston (4:31:24 AM): do you mind if i blog some of this?
MartinHSkidmore (4:31:38 AM): why would I mind?
MartinHSkidmore (4:31:42 AM): of course not
MartinHSkidmore (4:31:49 AM): it's interesting
