One again, we step through the looking glass, fall down the rabbit hole, cross the doorway to forever, tune in, turn on, and drop out and end up, somehow, in the crazy, mixed-up world of Brian Atene. In this episode…our hero underplays old skool it in a true tour de force of subtlety. Is it just me, or does Pacino crib off this guy?

I’ve got five bucks that says the head is severed and mounted on some kind of complicated crane OR free-floating on a levitating disk.

Raincoaster,
You’re out five bucks. Its simple puppetry. The head is a disgarded Bill Baird marionette from the ill fated Broadway run of “Baker Street”. You can see the strings clearly on the fade-in of the Kubrick video. I purchased the head in 1980. It’s modeled after actor Martin Gabel. – Atene
