Wow. Wow. Wow.

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 1999)

As I watched the face of the Star Child move across my TV screen earlier today I was overcome with emotion. Not just because of the loss of a great and singular talent, but just feeling this huge thing wash over me. Kubrick filled that last shot with this "this is greater than all of us" feeling that is overwhelming and awesome. And he spent the previous two and a half hours slowly building to that moment. A truly transcendental movie. And no, I was not stoned. God bless you, Mr. Kubrick.
