“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile, but that it is indifferent. But if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” – Stanley Kubrick
Warner Bros. Directors Series debuts tomorrow with the finest film director of all time. The Kubrick set includes everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey on, except Barry Lyndon (a heinous omission, and it can’t come to HD DVD soon enough).
Yes, it’s the third or fourth time they’ve been released on DVD, but there are several new special features, and both HD DVD and Blu-ray releases. Sigh. I’m doomed to buy these films forever, or at least until the resolution of the original film truly comes home. The closest yet is nearly here!

Why does Barry Lyndon never get the love? I can never think of Barry Lyndon without also wanting to watch The Duellists again also.
I have yet to go HD, but if they keep puting out specials on the Xbox HD drive I will be doing it soon.
Dave, it’s continual sensory overload. You’ll have a blast.
Barry Lyndon must be the most underappreciated outstanding film of all time. I don’t even LIKE costume dramas/period pieces, and I adore that one.
