Music critic Richard Dyer said it more eloquently than any other could:

Eyes Wide Shut is Kubrick's best film.

Ah, Alex. Alex, Alex, lol. Unlike your phony erudite self, I'm able to formulate my own opinions and theories without finding out what dignitaries and Rotten Tomatoes contributors think first. It's the reason I'm able to see the rubbish which makes up much of a movie like Prometheus and cut through all the hyperbole surrounding it and the reason why you will only ever see a movie after you've considered and studied absolutely every critical reaction to it beforehand - thus compromising and colouring your own eventual reaction and ultimately making the idea of impartiality on your part a veritable impossibility. Damningly, it of course unwittingly makes your views largely worthless, but I will admit to finding much entertainment value in your opinions nonetheless, as you must surely already know. That you just came in here (days later than I posted no less) and 'backed up' your 'argument' with "Ebert agrees with me" is hilarious. Don't you know that's an insta- lose in all debate, both online and off? Next time, I suggest you come up with your own material or risk me laughing you out of the thread again. Who are you? Ah, how could I ever forget. You're Alexcremers from JWFAN, snigger...

Oh look, Alex with a thinly desguised gay dig. How shocking. No Alex, I think Spartacus is an okay film but very flawed, doesn't feel much like a Kubrick film because it has some warmth. Dr. Strangelove is just filled with great acting, great characters, and moments of such absurdity. Peter Sellers could do no wrong in the flm.

Amen. This should be one of the main philosophical analogies of our Williamsian church.

But we are like bath sponges: we immerse ourselves in Williams's music, soaking up its riches with abandon.

Hello again! I'm pleased to announce that the concert went well, and you can find a few highlights from the performance here (the video is 11:30 total, including the encore). Thank you all for your support!

But look at all of the other nominees there: Barry, Morricone, Corigliano, the Bergman's... And I wonder why they've retired the category... Seems pretty much high time to resurrect it now, methinks...

Damn I hate songs, words. Popular music. Nothing happened to Star Wars. They are just movies for kids.
