I loved it. Stanley Kubrick has once again kicked my ass vicariously through a film.
Its got comedy, nudity, irony, etc. all in one!! I loved how they played happy music whenever they we're beating the shit outta someone. hehehehe

I love almost all of his movies, the only one I felt to be lacking was "Eyes Wide Shut", but he didn't live to complete that one himself, and I think that really had a lot to do with its final level of 'suck'.

I love how it looks. the camerawork (as in all of Kubricks work) looks so beautiful.
hate to say this, cliche of all cliches: the book IS better than the film.

I totally forgot how this movie looks so 80's but it seems to be set in a different dimension/time period. I love the record store with 2001 peering at you in front of the clerks desk. aw yeah!

70's? wow, it gives me this 80's feeling for some reason. But i love how all the interiors of houses and stores look futuristic. Neato!

It's an amazing movie. I always wanted to be a ''Droog'' and terrorize people... well... only when I'm in a bad mood.
What a visual feast that movie is... and I almost can't believe it was made in '71.

"droog" is just nadsat (the slang the movie is based around, from the book) for "friend". so, I guess you've always wanted to be a friend ;)~

That's my favorite movie. I was fortunate enough to see it twice at the theatre this month. I've seen the movie at least a dozen times and still, both times I saw it at the theatre I noticed at least one thing I hadn't before.

Oh! Well, I want to be one of Alex's ''droogs'', then.
Actually, at least two people have said I remind them of Alex. Am I really that insane?
And yeah... 2001 makes my corneas orgasm! So slick... oooooh, I want to own a space station.

if you like Kubrick, look out for The Killing, one of the films Tarantino ripped off in Pulp Fiction

yeah the part where the astronaut steps into the ring.. he steps of one wall onto another thats running around him.. that would be a good special effect now, let alone in 1968!

Kubrick innovated a lot of techniques in the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I like that film a lot.

Keir Dullea is sexy.
Everyone in that movie is so stonefaced and emotionless, it's fucking unsettling...

I've only seen the edited version as part of my psychology class. Apparentely it's got about 1/3 of the movie cut out, and what I saw was still pretty intense. I'm not sure I can handle the director's cut, but one of these days i'm going to force myself to watch it, damnit.

I borrowed the Kubrick DVD Box set off a friend of my Dad's. I've already got The Shining (another classic) and 2001 on DVD and I'd already seen half of Eyes Wide Shut and Full Metal Jacket. The "A Life In Pictures" DVD is excellent. Jack Nicholson looks really scary though. What age is he now, 1384?

Alex Rutterford says:
"A Clockwork Orange is one of my most favourite films, and I feel embarrassed about that now, since his death and rise of the cult of Kubrick in the last year or two. He's an example of someone with a fantastic eye for the generic, he can film anything, but his work is almost so devoid of style that it's got a style to it. Because it's so empty there's a kind of neutrality and a longevity to it. A Clockwork Orange is such a 70s looking film, yet it's got such a wonderful futuristic vibe to it, a sci-fi filter. You simply don't get that in films anymore: so theatrical, yet with a futuristic feeling. The closest you get to that is someone grading it really badly, putting a heavy grade over it to convince the audience that this is wacky and futuristic, like Minority Report."

I just watched the Shining for the billionth time... I'm always in awe of the scenery and the hotel itself... I feel like I belong there. I hope somebody offers me that job someday, hanging out in the middle of nowhere in some eerie mansion, fuck... that's a dream. Minus the insane murderer part, of course.
