Like Kubrick, Tommy Wiseau bought the equipment, a genius of modern cinema

Only just discovered this piece today…..and how nice to see my A.I. sketches get a mention! Over the years I always managed to miss the exhibit at various venues because of work, until it surfaced in Copenhagen, where I was also invited to speak about my work with Kubrick.

such a shame kubrick never got to make the napoleon movie. would've been one of the best movies of all time, no doubt.

As a known aficionado and collector of space helmets I'm surprised you didn't talk about the 2001 helmet opposite the apes head.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room." 😁

I would have had shivers up my spine the whole time I was at that exhibit! Love the way they displayed the books!

It's so cool Adam got to put his maze in the exhibit. He deserves it for sure, after all that work he put into it

Adam encountering HAL on the door into the exhibition...

"Open the door HAL."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Adam."

I saw Barry Lyndon a few weeks ago. It completely changed my view of what it was like after dark in a candle lit world.

My dream is to be a film director and some of my greatest inspiration comes from kubrick. I'm inspired by his cinematography, storytelling, creativity, and more. One of my goals in life is to finish the films he started and make his dreams come true.

Saw this Kubrick exhibition in Melbourne Australia a few years ago. Mesmerizing!

Kubrick's assistant, Emilio D'Alessandro, lives in Cassino, Italy, and is a friend of my dad. He has released a book about his experiences, called 'Stanley Kubrick and Me'. Very interesting guy to share a pizza with :)

I swear to god this thumbnail is driving me insane.

That was a quaint little model of the Shinning maze.

This is it, the YouTube algorithm is making Amonglas jokes.

Kubrick was an absolutely master. It's unbelievable how much so.

4:53 - I have that Arne Jacobsen cutlery set! I fell in love with it when I saw it in 2001 and I use it all the time. The fork could've been wider, but the spoon goes nicely with a Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra Core.

I visited the Kubrick exhibition when it was in Melbourne (Australia) some years ago. '2001: A Space Odyssey' is my favourite movie, so to be looking at the 'star child' model while the final segment of the film was playing nearby was amazing. A great presentation Adam.

A small comment on the so called NASA lenses, it is true that Kubrick bought the two fast lenses from NASA but the manufacturer of the lenses is Carl Zeiss. Zeiss created three sets of f/0.7 lenses for NASA (35mm and 50mm). One set was used in the apollo project to photograph the dark side of the moon and I dont remember if that set is in NASA archives or on the moon. One set was used for training and the other set was a standby back up set. Later two sets were sold off and Kubrick bought the lenses.

If I remember correctly bought the Mitchell BNC after he bought the lenses, and the camera was modified to use the Zeiss and some of Kubrics old Cooke lenses. The rear element of the lens is only 4mm from the film plane, which is pretty darn impressive.

Would have been cool to see some more Full Metal Jacket stuff.
