12. Critics like Pauline Kael complained that characters in Kubrick's movies -- like Nicholson's Torrance were too hammy, too cartoony.

13. With Kubrick always best to assume he knew what he was doing. If he elicited cartoony performances, it was because he's making cartoons

15. The Mickey Mouse song at end of Full Metal Jacket, the Snoopy cameo in same movie, the Bugs Bunny cartoon in Eyes Wide Shut.

19. But what if Kubrick wasn't (as Kael thought) a failed humanist. Maybe his model was cartoons, rather than, say, theater.

20. The longer Kubrick lived, the longer it took for him to make movies, because he wanted them to be more and more precise.
