31 Nights XXVI: Room 237! And you can see Stanley Kubricks face in the clouds in this frame. I kinda love batshit critical theory. People who love to state what Shakespeare or Chaucer REALLY meant are nearly always hilarious. Such is the case with the theorists that make up the subject of Room 237. Apparently, Kubrick wanted to reveal the truth of the Moon Landing, the Holocaust, the Genocide of Native Americans, and boners. Stanley wanted you to be aware of boners. Director Rodney Ascher doesnt judge. He merely presents the theorists commentaries with musical and visual accompaniment. Room 237 is highly entertaining and a amazing window into the nature of singular obsession.
