Stanley Kubrick's Boxes A few years after his death, the widow of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) asks Jon Ronson to look through the contents of about 1,000 boxes of meticulously sorted materials Kubrick left. Ronson finds that most contain materials reflecting work Kubrick did after the release of "Barry Lyndon " in 1975, when Kubrick's film output slowed down. Ronson finds audition tapes for "Full Metal Jacket," photographs to find the right hat for "Clockwork Orange" or the right doorway for "Eyes Wide Shut" -- thousands of details that went into Kubrick's meticulous approach. Ronson believes that the boxes show "the rhythm of genius." Interviews with family, staff, and friends are included.

Pi i thought was boring and i felt it was a ripoff of eraserhead.. Anything on shrooms could change your life look at all that horrible grateful dead music;)
Immortal (Ad Vitam) was pretty cool.. i liked the actress quite beautiful.. lots and lots of CGI.... based off a another graphic novel as well?
Equilibrium was ok.. but it smacked of the matrix.. Aeon Flux.. more meh..
the whole transitioning thing the wachowskis are/were going through i felt it muddled the overall narrative of the movies and pushed a agenda i could care less about..
Side note, the author consulted with a few people from Google and a number of other tech companies based in the bay area so i wouldnt be too surprised if he or they gleaned the idea.....
To be honest i would love a pair if they werent being release by google.. Would be perfect for those late night rides..
There is a really good documentary about why this is happening. It has a lot to do with the pesticides we use and the monoculture we are moving to in planting crops.
If you are truly interested please check out the website (http://www.vanishingbees.com/). I think netflix also has this as a streaming feature also, not sure now since i canceled my netflix:P
