Thread: vaseline in your shaving cream

Actually, if I remember correctly he made his secretary type the pages upon pages of 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. It cost the poor woman months. And you know what the really bad part is? There are non-English, dubbed versions of this movie. Instead of just giving it a subtitle, Kubrick actually made his secretary type out those books in different languages as well.. Kubrick was a bit of a madman when it came to details. Like when he ordered the velvet on the war table to be green instead of the standard blue, so it looked more like a pokertable. Thing is, that was in a black and white movie, so you had no way of telling whether it was green. Or when Tom Cruise had to do a shot which consisted of nothing more than him walking through a door, they refilmed that shot 90 times.

Yes, I will have to try glycerine, I think. I like thick lathers.

Ok will defer to your knowledge on that one, I did see the doco about 15 yrs ago, I used to smoke then so my memory isn't what it could be :-)
Speaking of dubbing, mad max has an american English dub option on the DVD I have took me about a quarter of the movie to figure that out, fairly sure American and Australian are similar :-)

There's a documentary of him I think it might be called 'boxes' or something; have you seen it? he had all these photos in lots and lots of boxes. There was a particular doorway in a scene in Eyes Wide Shut, and he had like hundreds of photos of different doorways. apparently NONE of them (the doorways) were actually used for the movie!
