I don't think Kubrick liked black bars on a 4:3 television. I remember an interview with Kubrick's assistant Leon Vitali. He stated future high-def Kubrick releases with the exception of 2001 would be released in 4:3 per Stanley's wishes. Since then, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut have been shown in high-definition 1.85 widescreen on various cable and satellite channels. As we all know, Full Metal Jacket is widescreen on Blu-Ray. Frankly, I'm pleased Warner Brothers and the Kubrick estate have re-evaluated this position.

I think Kubrick, had he lived, may very well have changed his mind with the advent of quality 16:9 displays.

I want Barry Lyndon on BD50.
