Anyone ever notice this in A Clockwork Orange? Kubrick knew and was telling us.

Absolutely. Milk plus baby. Interestingly, A Clockwork Orange was released the same year as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which featured adrenochrome as well.
The books you mean?
Clockwork Orange movie and Fear and Loathing book, yes. 1971.
Tho it just dawned on me that the Fear and Loathing movie, and Kubrick's last project, Eyes Wide Shut were in theatres less than a year apart. Kubrick was either trying to tell us something, or was simply rubbing it in our faces in a grand fashion throughout his entire career.
I think the cabal killed him because of Eyes Wide Shut and what he was trying to say with it. I heard (now I can't find the reference) that a climactic scene involving a satanic altar was cut from the movie.
I bet you're right. Those themes are already there, they just aren't fully drawn out - they are all sort of on the periphery. Like what exactly is with the costume guy randomly having an underage daughter who is available for hire. What is with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's daughter disappearing at the end in the toy store? These things are never really elaborated on, they are just sort of ambient oddities.
Ah ok just making sure lol. And yes I agree. Either warning or arrogantly exalting.
He died before it was ever released. Rubbing it in our faces maybe, but he obviously crossed a line that certain people didn’t want crossed.
Nah… Kubrick was based
It gets a mention in the book version of a clockwork orange too, in the 60s. It's called Dremcrom (like the picture) Anthony Burgess was a massive Aldous Huxley fan who was a huge fan of mescaline. He wrote in the doors of perception that he imagined adrenochrome might give him a similar buzz, being byproducts of adrenaline. Same reason Thomson put it in fear and loathing but he said he made up the name himself and was referencing DMT.
Interesting. I've had The Doors of Perception for about 15 years but have never read it.. ?
Bit of a slog ngl. Unless you're into philosophy and scientific journals. I sort of am that nerdy so I made it through.
Adrenochrome, Moloch & what I'm guessing is Synthetic Mescaline...nothing to see here folks...they were misspelled...stop jumping to conclusions hahaha
Moloko is milk
Kubrick exposed the Satanic side of Hollywood in Eyes Wide Shut. Lot of sex and demonic rituals. I would not suggest watching it since it has so much porn but also shows kids being used as sex slaves. Name of the movie says it all-----people see it all and DON'T see a thing!
I own most of Kubrick’s movies and once you watch them knowing what we know now, you’ll never see them as you once did before. One of my father’s favorite movies was Dr. Strangelove and we used to watch it a lot together. That’s probably my favorite as well.
