Happy Birthday, Stanley Kubrick!
Yes, he is a shining light of cinema, but he fits Listening Post like a virtual glove. He would have celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday, if he had lived to witness the musical evolution of the form he fast-forwarded. His films irrevocably changed the relationship between film and music, from the juxtaposition of spaceship ballets and "The Blue Danube" to the destabilizing pairing of rape and "Singin' in the Rain." Sometimes it hurt to watch, but it was often impossible to turn your eyes, and ears, away from anything Stanley Kubrick made.
