The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[ShayP]

I'm proud to be a sorry bastard as well as a magnificent bastard.

Here! Here!

Dammit, missed it.  Make the doggy bark again, Richard.  (Then he needs to tell us all about his doggy...does he dress it up in little costumes and outfits?  Does it sit on his lap while he's doing the show?  Does he carry it in a dog purse?)

I could see Hoagie dressing up his dog in pink tutu.

[zeebo]

Oh please let that be Hoagie's dog.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I love it when Hoagie goes for the kill.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

I'm with you on this one.

This guy is a raging idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. He couldn't be more wrong about Kubrick's history.

[popple]

Haha!  AWESOME. 

"Awesome?"  Sir, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen on the internet.

This may be the funniest thing I've seen on the intrawebz.

Thank you all! I was just in the right place to take that shot. Beautiful colours.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Hoagland cornered him and got him spouting off.  I don't know about Kubrick's history before 2001 though.

I heard if you play "Barry Lyndon" while listening to the Monkees first album backwards, it explains everything.

[Saltheart]

useless info, IMHO, The Shining was the best book to movie translation I have ever seen. When I saw the movie, I was every bit as impressed as with the book.

I don't think Weidner is referencing the time period of movies in which you mentioned. The time period is before the first moon landing. Actually a few years before that and back.

Totally, I wasted a good deal of my youth worshiping Kubrick. You can insult my country or you can insult my momma, but don't invent Kubrick history around me lol. I was honestly barely paying attention until the guest just started making things up about Kubrick's history. What's dumb is he's picking so easily discredited things to make up.

Kubrick was one of the most in-demend directors in Hollywood working his way up from a few independent films, to B-Films, to directing Kirk Douglas in the huge epic Paths of Glory in his mid-20s to again getting hired to direct what was essentially a Summer Blockbuster in Spartacus nearly ten years before 2001. This isn't even mentioning Lolita which was one of the most controversial and biggest blockbusters of it's time or Dr. Strangelove which was another huge movie. This guy is so off base it makes me want to punch myself in the face for having heard what he said.

I feel like Astroguy now...

Right, before 2001: A Space Odyssey, not the year 2001.
