That’s the effect Kubrick had on the industry.

Not so long ago, in a galaxy right here.

It’s an arena he’s very familiar with.

His legacy was already well secured.

Single-handedly drumming up huge repeat business.

One of cinema’s most iconic quotes.

Pulling the rug out from under everyone in disastrous fashion.

A tome that influenced his entire career.

The knives were out and being sharpened.

An alarming drop-off in quality in the filmmaker’s eyes.
