Saw this last night for the first time and it exceeded my expectations. Visually plain until the second act, but then Kubricks eye and humor is on display in full-effect. Great script, great cinematography...just a fucking masterpiece. Kubrick never made the same movie twice.

Went to a screening of this last year at a Kubrick-fest. Matthew Modine and Arliss Howard (private cowboy) were there for a Q&A afterward. Really interesting stories to tell about Kubrick, the whole production.
Modine was a bit of a ham/douche though. Wouldn't let Arliss get a word in edgewise.

Yeah Vincent D'Orio (Law and Order: CI, Men In Black) was great in it.

A story that Modine tells is that apparently Val Kilmer was also up for his part (private joker). A lot of these guys knew each other from the NY/LA scene at the time, or went to school together. Apparently, Kilmer had a meltdown that he didn't get the role, and confronted Modine while he was having dinner somewhere. Kilmer stormed in kicking up chairs and shit saying that it was bullshit he didn't get the role.
- i've heard rumors about kilmer being difficult to work with and that directors don't usually work with him more than once7point34
- can't really support that with any fact though... so there that is7point34
- Val Kilmer will always be second best.********
- Him and that damn elbow knob he has.harlequino
