Half way through, and it's all a bit odd... In a clockwork orange sort of way.

Anyone actually "get it"?

It's not reliant on plot. My take is that it's a film about Human Character.
We always want what we cannot have, certain parts of us are programmed to self-destruct. Additionally our deep/hindbrain's desire to reproduce leads to some unusual social situations...

oh, and Kubrick was a gifted weirdo

Yes, and there's a lot of unneccessary talking bits between some rather interesting bits.

About 1hr too long in my opinion, and like most films of its type (usually with plumber and bored housewife characters), the plot and dialogue is somewhat superfluous...
