Kubrick's Game: Puzzle-Thriller for Film Geeks by Derek Taylor Kent

5.0

Lots of fun if the reader loves solving puzzles along with the characters, especially if you know Kubrick's body of work well. The plot does get flaky when some time worn conspiracy theories are treated with far more import than they deserve, especially when the supposed film major experts employ, with straight faces, optical tools that won't do what we're supposed to believe they can do. (Scanning a frame or a print of a frame with an ultraviolet scanner will not reveal any subject matter in the original image that was not already visible. Duh. It might show some unexpected fluresence resulting from some chemical processes on the film... but that will have nothing to do with the original image... and then to lay that crap on us twice. Sheesh.) Still... lots of fun. While reading it I thought that the author would enjoy reading Ready Player One... turns out he cites it in the acknowledgements! Apparently the author ran an online version of the game... which appears to be over now.
