Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

Stanley Kubrick, professional pack rat

July 17th, 2008 at 08:05am Will Pfeifer

Courtesy of Hollywood Elsewhere, here’s STANLEY KUBRICK’S BOXES, a mesmerizing documentary by British journalist Jon Ronson about the more than 1,000 boxes of personal (mostly movie-related) items left behind by the legendary director. It’s about an hour long, but well worth a look.

 

 Also worth a look, incidentally, are Ronson’s books – THEM: ADVENTURES OF EXTREMISTS and THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS. They’re both fascinating and funny, and George Clooney is supposedly set to star in a movie based on GOATS. (And yes, it really is about men who stare at goats.)

    As being the guy who \"trashed\" Jon Ronson out with the defender, in the BBC special and his \"The men who stare at goats\"… I\’m pleased you are following Jon and the book.
