The Buzz: Kubrick "Eyes Wide Sh*t!"

Report by Clarissa Scheissberg

According to a close source, (none other than slightly famous numerous bit part actor R.Lee Ermey), 'famous but British director' Stanley Kubrick thought his last movie, (none other than the sexually charged albeit, bit weird part movie, Eyes Wide Shut) was to qoute a "piece of s**t".

The British and therefore eccentric director was alleged to have thought that the 'stars' in his movie, 'All round nice cult worshipping actor' Tom Cruise, and 'Ginger and Austrailian' Nicole Kidman,ruined the movie through constant interference.

Ermey said "Stanley called me about two weeks before he died, as a matter of fact. We had a long conversation about Eyes Wide Shut. He told me it was a piece of s**t and that he was disgusted with it and that the critics were going to have him for lunch. He said Cruise and Kidman had their way with him - exactly the words he used. He was kind of a shy little timid guy. He wasn't real forceful. That's why he didn't appreciate working with big, high-powered actors. They would have their way with him, he would lose control, and his movie would turn to s**t."

What VIN wants to know is why Stanley Kubrick (who incidentally looks alot like Salman Rushdie) kept in contact with R.Lee Ermey in the first place?
