Duck Season, Kubrick Season

Stanley Kubrick has long been one of my top three favorite directors. For the curious my other two are

Martin Scorsese
Woody Allen

Since January my friends and I (usually just four of us) have been doing something called "The 12 Months of Kubrick".

Stanley directed 13 features while on this planet but only 12 are easily locatable since he was ebarassed by his first ("Fear and Desire"). 12 films, 12 months it's just too perfect.

January = Killer's Kiss
February = The Killing
March = Paths of Glory
April = Spartacus
May = Lolita
June = Dr. Strangelove
July = 2001: A Space Odyssey
August = A Clockwork Orange
September = Barry Lyndon
October = The Shining
November = Full Metal Jacket
December = Eyes Wide Shut

With "The Shining" falling in the same month as Halloween, "Full Metal Jacket" in the same month as Veteran's Day and "Eyes Wide Shut" set around Christmas it's almost like Stanley planned it.

And it seems I'm not the only one with Kubrick on the brain. BBC 4 has decided to have a "Kubrick Season" and in order to promote it they have created an amazing little promo.



Apparently they even used the same type of lens Stanley used.

!GEEK MOMENT!
