"Зачем ты его ешь, Винни?! Хватит, перестань!"
In 2014, an image said to be a scan of an Aug. 27, 1970, typewritten letter from Kubrick to MGM president James T. Aubrey surfaced on the Internet and instantly went viral, for reasons that will be obvious on a single reading.
As popular as the letter became on social media, readers familiar with Kubrick’s life and oeuvre were skeptical of its authenticity. For one thing, Kubrick wasn’t known to have taken such a vehement stand against any 2001 follow-up. In fact, when the actual sequel, 2010, went into production in the early 1980s, Kubrick gave the project and its director, Peter Hyams, his blessing. For another thing, the aggression and profanity that make the missive so funny are lacking in other specimens of his correspondence.
The doubters were proved correct when the facsimile was traced back to its source, a satire website called Gloss News. It appeared in an article published on 31 May 2014 and titled “Corman Creates Catastrophe, Kubrick Cringes.”
