My favorite memory of seeing Eyes Wide Shut on opening weekend was after the last line, as the movie cut to black and the audience let out a collective sigh of disappointment. Kubrick always was always one step ahead.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-59694286465163956652008-06-11T09:32:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:32:00.000-04:00As I recall, this image was right at the reel chan...As I recall, this image was right at the reel change at the beginning of reel #2. I remember this because there was a sound flub on the original prints of the film, which caused the music cue for the scene to begin during the fadeout at the end of reel #1, stop at the reel change, then begin again when the elevator door opened. It's since been fixed on the DVD version, but I for one miss it. It's those strange little mistakes (what Dennis C. would call "wabi") that really give movies character, I'd say. Not that <I>Eyes Wide Shut</I> needs character, but I like to think Kubrick wanted the movie that way, just like he wanted to keep his reflection in the bathroom scene.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-78884536623124178442008-06-10T19:30:00.000-04:002008-06-10T19:30:00.000-04:00Celine and Julie it is, and I'll be sure to check ...<I>Celine and Julie</I> it is, and I'll be sure to check out <I>Marie and Julie</I> sometime soon.

Ideally, I'd want a dual review of <I>Celine and Julie Go Boating</I> and its spiritual cousin <I>The Story of Marie and Julien</I>, but I know you're busy. So if you haven't seen <I>Celine and Julie</I>, do that one. If you have, then write up <I>Marie and Julien</I>.

I remember when they first did the DVDs for it they were all 1.33, but then I think they finally relented to 1.85. (Unless this is a 1.33 grab and my eyes are unreliable.)The Mysterious Ad[ri.an B)e;ta]m.a.x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14584835204677201232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-91068742165702252182008-06-06T15:30:00.000-04:002008-06-06T15:30:00.000-04:00That's the one.That's the one.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-31319700185045396992008-06-06T15:20:00.000-04:002008-06-06T15:20:00.000-04:00Eyes Wide Shut.Eyes Wide Shut.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-22731911767687374542008-06-06T12:31:00.000-04:002008-06-06T12:31:00.000-04:00Right actor, wrong movie.Right actor, wrong movie.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-37744339599814583932008-06-05T22:22:00.000-04:002008-06-05T22:22:00.000-04:00Tom Cruise in the Firm?Tom Cruise in the Firm?The Mysterious Ad[ri.an B)e;ta]m.a.x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14584835204677201232noreply@blogger.com
