MYTHBUSTER ADAM SAVAGE: STANLEY KUBRICK SUPERFAN!


It's long been obvious that lovable Mythbusters ginger Adam Savage is a huge Kubrick fanatic. I mean, just check out the loving craftsmanship and exacting - dare we call it Kubrickean? - level of detail that went into his creation of a replica version of The Shining's legendary Hedge Maze... a project Savage took it upon himself to complete, simply because he didn't think the Maze that was part of the touring Kubrick Exhibition was up to snuff!


And when he completed his amazing colossal project, what did he do with it? He donated it to the touring Kubrick Exhibition! Now THAT is some serious fandom, folks. Check out this video for more information about Adam's process, and about that amazing Maze!


So what do you do after you've gone out of your way to make a contribution that improves one of the most widely-praised and well-attended traveling public exhibits ever dedicated to the work and life of a single cinematic auteur? Well, obviously, you make your umpteenth visit to said exhibit, of course! And this time, you bring a couple friends and a video camera with you, so you can document the event for posterity's sake. 


We here at Kubrick U would like to salute Adam Savage, Kubrick Superfan SUPREME! If we had the budget to hand out statuettes for this honor, Adam, believe us, you'd be cradling one in your fuzzy ginger arms this very instant! Mazel Tov!
