Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.

The Kubricking extends beyond The Shining. A. I. is a horrible travesty of the original short story. The author begged him not to do that idiotic retelling of Pinocchio, but Kubrick didn't listen.

You mean the Stephen Spielberg movie: "A. I. Artificial intelligence"? Because the Kubrick version was unrealized. And the unrealized pinnoccio movie?

So you're angry at a director for movies that were not made?

Steven Spielberg specifically said that he would continue Kubrick vision for the movie. And the Pinocchio discussion Brian Aldiss had was with Kubrick, not with Spielberg.

So be careful not to cut yourself with that edge. You don't seem to be handling it well.
