I consider that film to perhaps be Kubrick's best even though it's far from my favorite. One of the only films that gets through to normies too, can't tell you how many people I've met that understand the implications it suggests.
And that isn’t even the version Kubrick wanted you to see. He died “conveniently” right before they finished editing the film. Steven Spielberg was brought in to “tighten” it up. It’s a theory that Kubrick was killed and that the over four hour rough cut that he showed to Warner Bros. executives has never seen the light of day and was most likely literally destroyed by Spielberg.
Cruise trying like hell to get laid but the only people hitting on him after the argument with his wife are either 13 yrs old, crazy, or gay....tries a hooker, gets interrupted before undressing by his wife on the phone... then the hooker has AIDS so he was lucky he didn't get laid! :)

I love Kubrick's dry humor

Need to rewatch it. I wasn't impressed the first time.
Ditto.
