Comment on Eyes Wide Shut: Hidden in plain sightparent

Sorry but what does this have to do with Eyes Wide Shut and why it's definitely got to be the case that Kubrick had an issue with the British ratings agency? Hello? Anyone home?

I have no idea.

Just wanted to respond to the idea that the intrigue, such as there is, around Robert Maxwell’s death is logically connected to the intrigue around Ghislaine.

The central disease of QAnon/BritAnon thinking is the belief in omniconspiracy, when it’s entirely normal for notable people to be connected by only a handful of degrees of separation, just like everyone else is.

Every now and then the omniconspiracy touches on something a bit unusual —- this, or a dead staffer, say —- and uses mere proximity to establish a connection that doesn’t exist, and then uses that connection to magnify and anchor the conspiracy.

Please stop attempting to associate Qanon/Pizzagate/Conspiracy to this whole thing it's desperate and embarrassing.
