My friend Jason is down from Portland this weekend so we headed over to LACMA to check out the new Kubrick retrospective. Highly recommend! Seeing the show was a humbling reminder of exactly how many "films of a lifetime" this man made. Path's of Glory, Spartacus, 2001: Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eye's wide shut....seriously? Some amazing trinkets from each of those films were on display. It was surprising how powerful it was to see them in the flesh...so to speak. Make the time to check it out, you won't be sorry!
Kubrick's directing chair. Can't help but get chills from this thing!

All work and no play...
The original HAL! Never been so star struck..for real!
Weird fetus maquette from 2001. Disturbing that the fetus was the size of a 3 year old!
Awesome, functioning centrifuge model from 2001
Awesome astronaut watch from 2001
Amazing futuristic silverware from 2001
Sketch of the Dr Strangelove war room by the one and only Ken Adam. Fighter jet pilot, legendary production designer, and just general bad-ass skanky bastard.
and of course, A Clockwork Orange!
Joker's helmet from Full Metal Jacket
Last but not least, a sampling of the spooky masquerade masks from Eyes Wide Shut.
