We know Stanley Kubrick was a chess player and logic puzzle fanatic. What conscious and subconscious meanings did he bury in his later films through numbers and patterns? What is the role of model theory?
Who better to lead us through the various bridges of this numbers maze than a structural engineer and a foremost Kubrick scholar? It's the one and only R.H. Vatcher!
What does 42 mean in "2001" and "The Shining?"
What's the recurring symbolic number in "Full Metal Jacket"?
The difference between numerology and number puzzles. Polysemic meanings and abstract math.
Plus: Grace Slick, "Eyes Wide Shut," and being mistaken for A.I.
