Conclusions:
-
I totally get the references in that episode of Venture Bros.
-
A Carnival Mask is an ESSENTIAL accoutrement

This film is super underwhelming. IDK i expected something big from Kubrick's last film. Its not very interesting at all.
Im sorry rich people have an orgy in a mansion? THAT's shocking? Big HP Lovecraft energy "goes insane at the revelation of interracial sex".
Fuck i shoukdn't even spoiler this, the basic facts you know from osmosis about the film are equivalent to the substance of the thing
this is the movie that made me realize how minimalist kubrick was, which is probably the reason i keep coming back to his movies. The feeling that i've missed something or didn't absorb it well enough is with me every time the credits roll.
