Wasn't this part of the 17 minutes Kubric cut from "2001"?

Kubric was a director(he died, last year). His last film was Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman-which I heard (from just about everyone) wasn't worth seeing. 2001-A Space Odessey, was another one of his films from the 60s. And therefore the 17 minutes cut, would be part of the.....ready for this? director's cut.
relax though...DCL was only joking with ya.

My Droogs will make it all crystal cleary tonight at the Korova milk bar after the Ludovico treatment, my brother.

Okay, okay, okay...
Sorry to confuse you with all the posts, and, if you like, I’ll try to explain them (remembering, of course, that if you have to explain the joke, it’s not funny). I tried e-mailing this to you, to spare everyone else a boring post, but your e-mail didn't work -- so forgive me all.
DCL: Wasn't this part of the 17 minutes Kubric cut from "2001"?
"2001" was a Stanley Kubric fill awash in beautiful, ethereal images, particularly of an oft appearing solid "monolith" structure which struck everyone who saw it (including a tribe of early human ancestors 4 million years ago) with awe. Your photo was nicely back-lit, much like the film, with an upstanding structure of its own.
After the film was released Kubric decided to cut 17 minutes – a very unusual and controversial decision for a film that had already been released.
GOLDEN: nah, DCL, Clockwork Orange!
DCL: A little of the old in and out to some Ludwig V, oh my brother?
DCL: My Droogs will make it all crystal cleary tonight at the Korova milk bar after the Ludovico treatment, my brother. "I'm singing in the rain..."
Golden thought that if I were going to compare your photo to a Kubric film it should be "A Clockwork Orange", a nightmarish, futuristic Orwellian film rife with psycho-sexual imagery, including a statute of a giant penis which is used to murder a woman by a man named Alex and his friends.
Alex narrates the film in a futuristic "teen-speak" using phrases like "Droogs" for friends, "the old in and out" for sex (or rape), and "my brothers" referring to the audience (further enforcing the idea that some sort of bizarre form of socialism has overtaken England). He hangs at a freaky club called the Korova milk bar (which is decorated with statues of naked women with milk pouring out of their nipples).
Alex is a psychopathic, amoral murderer who kicks the shit out of a bum while singing, "Signing in the Rain" (in one of the film’s most disturbing sequences).
The only thing that Alex truly enjoys beyond violence and rape is the music of Beethoven, whom he refers to as Ludwig V (as in Ludwig Von Beethoven).
Once captured by the police Alex is given the Ludovico treatment, where he is brainwashed into hating violence, to the point that he becomes horribly nauseous if he even thinks about something violent. Alex becomes "mechanized", thus the title of the film – he becomes like a clockwork orange.
In the end the government is forced to reverse the process, because the people claim that they took away Alex’s "individuality", and he is returned the amoral bastard that he was.
All of the above is part of the American cultural subconscious, which is why it was all funny. But you’re 18, and have probably haven’t seen either film.
So, there you go. *Whew*. Sorry to be so long-winded and obvious, all, but I didn’t want Woodnbat to think I was making fun of him.
Enjoy Literotica. Take care.

*applauding DCL* Well done old chap
Woodnbat8,
Does that little intro to Cinema 101 clear things up? Hope so, didn't mean to be laughing at your expense, it's just DCL has such an eye for things...I really did think the 2001 reference was pretty accurate.
Anyway, welcome to the BB, keep your hands and legs inside the car at all times and enjoy your ride

Woody, Woody, Woody....
You posted elsewhere that you wanted to get laid. Deborah was being funny. If I have to explain ALL the jokes to you this is going to get way tedious.
And as for calling me a "babe", maybe I should explain one more thing...

Well, I can only speak for myself here, but I definitely can say that I consider Dixon, a babe.
