in the 1990's only ALEX COX had the balls to say that since 'A Clockwork Orange'.....EVERYTHING that Kubrick turned out was SHITE.
It was the only time that somebody ever told him straight. Just an older example of what yer trying to say, that's all.

....It was also AHEAD of it's time. Kubrick always figured up to his dying day that 2001 was his finest moment. I disagree. After he made ORANGE, he kept trying to make deep movies, but all he did was become an annoying
perfectionist who bugged the living hell out of those who worked for him.

the most shocking thing I found about it was just how boring it actually was.
Hitchhikers was great as the BBC series but the new film was Meh!
2001 was, and will always be, a classic - even if it's a little too long and low on real action.

I am having a classic classic film moment, watching films from the 1930s. Long films I can't really do, my attention goes after about an hour 30.
