Yep. In fact, Kubrick originally approached Steve Martin for what would become Eyes Wide Shut, but back then Kubrick had originally intended that as a more comedic movie; think something along the lines of Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch Drunk Love.
This piece is a great look on what its like to work with Kubrick. It's written by Michael Herr, who co-wrote Full Metal Jacket. That's where I got this little info about The Jerk. Excellent read if you're a Kubrick fan.
Blade is a sick character, amazing that everyone that wants diversity in comic book movies seems to forget that it exists. The first movie is cool as hell.
The second one was great fun too. Haven't seen it in years but saw it when it came out and it was one of those very enjoyable movies to watch in a cinema.
i know he's well-known but snipes should've been a bigger actor than what he is, i know he motherfucked the tax system but still, give a brotha a bit of leeway, just a lil' bit
Blade 3 kind of fucked up his momentum. Was basically a creepy Ipod commercial. I think if it had been a success Snipes' career would have lasted longer

Weirdly enough that was one of Stanley Kubrick's favourite films.

Awesome, thanks for that. Didn't Kubrick have a hand in writing AI before he died?

Kubrick optioned the story initially in the 70s and worked on it periodically until he gave it to Spielberg in the 90s.
1 WaterFromTheWell 2019-03-30
The beginning and end of that movie was all Kubrick, I believe. Stuff in the middle like the Flesh Fair was Spielberg.

Also oddly enough, Smokey & the Bandit was Hitchcock's favorite movie.

Was it really? Great taste in female leads terrible taste in films.

Russian cinematic pioneer Sergei Eisenstein thought Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the greatest film ever made.

Lynch says Eraserhead was his favorite

Guillermo Del Toro did the second one.

Was it great fun, grandpa. Did you have a stupendous time, stupid

It was a laugh riot and much more entertaining than your attempt at alliteration.

Also spawn, goodish comic, shitty movie
1 Haunter94 2019-03-30
the first superhero movie released with a black lead.
The first 100 issues are pretty perfect, then it gets into Warhammer levels of fluff
1 lawntoilet 2019-03-30
I remember thinking the HBO cartoon was pretty cool as a kid, too.
1 lowend73 2019-03-30
2nd one held up as well. Wont talk about Trinity
1 Pizza2TheFace 2019-03-30
Also Spawn was a black man in the movie but people need to bitch about stupid shit I guess.

Incorrect, Wesley Snipes actually attempted to hustle and make money.
