I’m a Kubrick fan (isn’t everyone?), and I continue to find amazing, sometimes bizarre, Kubrickian content on the web.
The nice folks at Coudal Partners share my interest in Kubrick, but have gone to the trouble of compiling a page linking to tons of fascinating stuff: Stuff About Stanley Kubrick.
Here are some of my favorites (warning: some of this is highly geeky):
Film of SK at the 1968 premiere of 2001: A Space Oddyssey. I believe this is the same night that a sweet printed program was distributed to the audience.

David points us to Michael Beirut’s essay “Stanley Kubrick and the Future of Graphic Design”.

Two Special Lenses for Barry Lyndon or “How the stringent demands of a purist-perfectionist film-maker led to the development of two valuable new cinematographic tools.” A great first-hand film tech piece.

And there are pages and pages more!
I like a few of Kubrick’s early films (Sparticus, Lolita), but from the late 60’s on he got a little too strange for me.
I often wonder if we wasn’t on the wrong side of the camera. With those eyes, he could have taken work as a character actor in the mold of Peter Lorre.

I have never understood most people’s facination with Kubrick. I think his movies are boring. Just saying, not everyone’s a fan.
