Barry Lyndon would be a lot better to watch if there wasn't a goddam flute playing throughout the entire goddam thing; it's like that omnipresent Gregorian chant in
The Omen, except instead of scaring the shit out of you it's just beyond fucking annoying. I guess I should just read the fucking book anyway,
it being Thackery. Also, I really hope Ryan O'Neal didn't actually get paid money to stand around wordlessly like a dope.

I find Kubrick always gets grating after the second viewing. I don't side with the folks who call him overrated, but most of his stuff is not half as good on the re-up.
