Kubrick

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile, but that it is indifferent.  But if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning.  However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” – Stanley Kubrick

Warner Bros. Directors Series debuts tomorrow with the finest film director of all time.  The Kubrick set includes everything from 2001:  A Space Odyssey on, except Barry Lyndon (a heinous omission, and it can’t come to HD DVD soon enough).

Yes, it’s the third or fourth time they’ve been released on DVD, but there are several new special features, and both HD DVD and Blu-ray releases.  Sigh.  I’m doomed to buy these films forever, or at least until the resolution of the original film truly comes home.  The closest yet is nearly here!
