The Complete Kubrick

If you're interested in the co-writers, you'll enjoy the Jonathan Lethem and Kevin Wynter conversation.

Glad to see some love for Bob Godfrey's Kama Sutra Rides Again and Mickey Mouse in Vietnam. Along with Reichenbach's The Marines, all three are written about in Amos Vogel's "Film As A Subversive Art", where Kubrick also figures highly. There's a fantastic letter to Kubrick from Vogel in Jerome Agel's "The Making of 2001".

I was really hoping for more on Kubrick’s co-writers, especially Gustav Hasford (who actually was in Vietnam with Dale Dye, Oliver Stone’s military advisor on his films)

From what I gathered in Kubrick: An Odyssey, it sounds like Hasford was kind of, uhm, a handful. (Among other things, not long after the film came out, Hasford pled guilty in the largest library book theft in American history.) We lost him in 1993, IIRC.

Sadly, we also lost Michael Herr a decade ago, who would’ve been intensely interesting.

Too bad Crit didn't get a thingamabob from James B. Harris for Lolita, yet he's all over the new Imprint set.

and Matthew Modine is nowhere to be found! Criminy!

Probably because of this.
