The moon landing stuff is just so over the top. They actually made a mockumentary about it called [Side of the Moon].

The labyrinth concept seems obvious with the maze and the crazy corridors that don't make sense, but I thought the Minotaur in the poster was really pushing it.

I just love the way that bear rug constantly appears and disappears, though, and wonder how much effect it does have on the subconscious. Just like those impossible windows, another aspect of the film that I really like.

Kubrick was a perfectionist, though, and those weird consistency errors and use of product labels must say something.

How about Road Runner? What's that all about? Just a nod to a chase scene and good vs bad and modern folk tales and myth? Or, did Kubrick help fake the Coyote's demise?
