You're not THAT old. I'm closing in on 29 soon.

Have a good one.

Man I am old

Your avatar's "carbon dating" yourself somewhat, even though it's still 10 years before your time.

Happy Birthday. Another year of haplessly incompetent droogs shall run your life.

Now that movie's theme is stuck in my head...Waaaaaaaaahhhh wuuw wew weeew...dum dum dum dum dummmm.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Wizard.

 

[TheWizard]

Thanks again to all those who remembered 👍
Even to the ones whom I don't know

As far as the avatar is concerned - I used to have the GT Lime Cat and I had it since I joined (well, since I was allowed to have a custom avatar). It's been a little over one year, now, so it was time to change it

I just love A Clockwork Orange and any other film made by Stanley Kubrick, for that matter. He is (was) one of the greatest directors ever. Sure the movie is a little old - older than me, also - but sometimes the old movies are the best ones, too.

And thanks for still using the Power/Torque guide, ferrari_chris 👍

The Wizard.

Happy Birthday

(You really think A Clockwork Orange is better then 2001?!)

 

[tait]

Eyes Wide Shut for the win! Either that or The Shining. Anyways, Happy Birthday

I do miss your old avatar, but I am a fan of Kubrick's work as well. Happy Birthday, Wiz!

 

[TheWizard]

A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey - and The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut, just to name a few - are all quite different from one another. So the statement do I like A Clockwork Orange more than 2001: A Space Odyssey is really hard to answer, since they are completely different as far as the themes being portrayed, even if they share the same hand - the one of an artist.

I just love A Clockwork Orange because of it's (ultra)violence depicted with a smile - it is actually really funny, if you know how to watch it and if you can let your morals and ethics go bye-bye, for a couple of hours. Kubrick's use of Classical Music in this movie is also fantastic. Gotta love the 9th of Ludwig van (Beethoven, that is). On the other hand, it's also fantastic in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I can't really decide which one is better, as they are all top notch quality movies, in my book. I guess it just depends on what mood I am in.

Well, the day is almost over and so is my birthday. I had quite a few milk plus ( ) in honor of you guys 👍

EDIT: I am surprise somebody actually misses the cat

The Wizard.

For me, it's: Shining > 2001 > Full Metal Jacket If "Full Metal Jacket" was just made up of scenes in boot camp with that awesome drill instructor(R. Lee Ermey), then it would overtake 2001 for the second spot.

 

[Tedehur]

I find it really hard to compare movies by Kubrick : they are so different.
My favourite is certainly Full Metal Jacket (my other account here is Animal Mother), and then without any specific order The Shining and A Clockwork Orange. You definitely have to read the book on which the latter is based, by Anthony Burgess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIZARD
