NP: Kubrick Bio Rec

[Mark Thibodeau]

Kubrick's 2001 and Strangelove are two world-historic works of art on the
level of Beethoven, DaVinci, Rembrandt, Joyce, Pynchon, Zappa, etc. (Paths
of Glory is damn near that level, too).

Kubrick fully deserves to be on the shortlist of artists in the running to
be on the latest iteration of the 20 pound note in England (I hope he gets
it).

The best Kubrick book is KUBRICK, by Michel Ciment. The best Kubrick
biography is Stanley Kubrick: A Biography, by Vincent LoBrutto.

I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to Stan the Man. I maintain a blog about
him: www.KubrickU.blogspot.com

I know... I blog too much.
