I think he just meant summer of sam was a much better movie, which i would agree with. very little about EwS was believable, which was fine, except that the main unbelievable thing was that the main character, mr. cruise, could have actually gone through medical school and now be a successful physician. he came across as a misplaced twit. kubric's direction almost saved it, but the story was just too weak. SoS was a strong story, with very strong acting, directing, and believable characters. but if you didn't think it was excessively violent, please see a clinical psychiatrist at your earliest convenience. ;-)
sure, the nod to cinematography might go to Kubric, but i'd rather see a good movie than a bad movie with elaborate cinematography. my $0.02
