An example of a Kubrick stare

• ... that Donald Trump's mugshot has been described as a Kubrick stare?

• ALT1: ... that a Kubrick stare can break the fourth wall? Source: https://journals.openedition.org/essais/646
• ALT2: ... that the Kubrick stare is one of "cinema's most recognizable shots"? Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/donald-trump-mugshot-stanley-kubrick/
• ALT3: ... that a Kubrick stare can be "invasive" and "troubling"? Source: https://journals.openedition.org/essais/646

• Comment: I'm eschewing the McDowell image as it is too closely cropped and eliminates the forehead, which has been mentioned as an element of the Kubrick stare. I really desire this to be an image hook (as does the subject of the photo), so I'm fine with a set-builder pushing this far back or anything similar.

• QPQ is done, article is new enough, article is long enough. WP:EARWIG says "Violation Unlikely". Personally I would not use the hook mentioning Trump's mug shot, because it would be a bit strange to mention it but then show an entirely different photograph. ALT3 is the one I think is best because it matches the photograph the most. Overall, good to go for ALT3. Di (they-them) (talk) 15:53, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just noticed that Stanley Kubrick's 96th birthday is coming up on July 26. If it does not compromise the image hook, could we have the hook run on that date? Thanks. Bremps... 19:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Bremps. I see your comment about being busy in July/August, but it's not often I see a GA nom that's both personally interesting and which I feel confident about reviewing, so I snagged it. I'll use your note to take my time reviewing it, will ping you when I'm done, and won't expect a response until you're around more. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
