Eyes Wide Shut opens on Friday. I think I'm more excited about this than I was about the new Star Wars movie. At the very least, it'll be neat to see a new Stanley Kubrick film on the big screen, something I've never experienced.

I think I've pointed to the tale of why Harvey Keitel left the production of Eyes Wide Shut before, but it bears mention again because of its timeliness. Normally, I wouldn't believe this type of story, but in this case, I know the teller, and I do think it's true.
