  One needn't have taken anymore time than the time it takes to view the film
  to realize that that was enough time spent there.
  
  And it weren't the naked chicks.

  • Fo me, EWS was repugnant and repulsive... - mpathus 12:35:40 07/09/11 (0)

    ... yet not quite to the point of vulgarity to need to look away.
    
    Necrophilia and pagan Bacchanal are hard subjects to examine with any "taste", and in this film may represent symbolic suggestions of psyches extremely off course. The lost souls of "Helm".
    
    I feel that Kubrick's EWS succeeded amazingly with a warning for OUR times, at a very personal level of the most intimate of relationships juxtaposed against that which is "illusionary" in one sense (spirit) yet VERY dangerous to the flesh as well.
    
    Surely not for many sensibilities, and most certainly not a good "date flick". ; )

  ***So many others have casually dismissed it as a POS without having taken the time
  
  "Casually" is a rather patronizing word towards those who were very familiar with Kubrick's work and waited impatiently for his new film, dreaming of being surprised.
  
  Well... and surprised we were... :(

      Normally naked (or semi-naked) girls attract me, EWS was perhaps the first (and only) movie where their sight made me bored and wish for change of scenery.
      
      Big artistic achievement, that? I will give you that much. The most boring sex scene in the industry - that doesn't happen by chance, it takes a genius.
