If you are looking for a more modern game of pool, then you will want to purchase a pool table. If you are looking for a traditional game of billiards, then you will want to purchase a billiard table. The distinctive factor on a pool table will be the six pockets, one in each corner with one in the middle on each side. The order of the balls should be random, with the exceptions of the 8-ball, which must be placed in the center of the rack (i.e., the middle of the third row), and the two back corner balls, one of which must be a stripe and the other a solid. But the style of windows of the above building–one pane of glass–doesn’t match any of those viewed out the two windows in the supposed corner room of the supposed Lanesborough Royal Suite room used for a pool room. I’ve never seen the location of the Nathanson shoot discussed, and if people have been able to pinpoint the billiard room scene as being the Royal Suite at the Lanesborough, I’m assuming that if the Nathanson shoot was there as well then this would also be known.
As noted above, I’ve repeatedly read that the billiards scene was filmed in the Royal Suite of the Lanesborough Hotel (once a hospital) in London, the Royal Suite being so exclusive that it’s located in a secret location in the hotel that isn’t even known but to a few of the hotel’s employees. Over and over again I read that the scene of the end pool game with Victor was filmed at the Lanesborough Hotel. No, no, no, no, no, no, what is billiards no. This can’t be so as the Royal Suite was said to have been booked only 10 days and we have a number of scenes in Alice and Bill’s bedroom: the long conversation with Alice and Bill in the bedroom when they’re high; the dressing room scenes; the scene after the initial party at Victor’s; the long scene when Bill comes home from the “orgy”; the scene when he returns home from this last discussion with Victor. The interior hall which leads to the pool room was shot at Luton Hoo Hotel. We have a brief glimpse outside of the hall which is staged to look like that of Luton Hoo but is not. In shot 499 the butler leads Bill down this hall to the closed door of the pool room.
It is one of those Kubrick rooms that is impossible, and Kubrick even presents the impossible room as being in two different locations in the apartment. I’ve seen two photos reputedly of the Lanesborough Royal Suite, one a sitting room and the other a bedroom (I’ve yet to see anything remotely similar to the pool room in Eyes Wide Shut) and both have floor to ceiling windows, which Victor’s pool room does not. Until the revealing of Victor’s pool room, the Nathanson household had stood out as being curiously unconnected to other locations in the film. 2. This document sets out the requirements and benefits of an International Tournament receiving the sanction of the WPA. Steven Bowditch of Australia celebrates after chipping in a birdie on the first hole during the first round of the 80th Masters Golf Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays a shot onto the 16th green during third round of the Masters. On a billiard table, the playing surface is covered with a green cloth, typically 100% wool, then polished with a layer of sticky resin. The purpose of the rubber layers is to offer a bit of cushioning when the balls hit the playing surface and are also cheaper to produce than their billiards counterparts.
Pool balls, on the other hand, are made from two layers of rubber. The view we have of the Nathanson room with the pool room woodwork is so swift and abbreviated that it seems Kubrick intends no conscious notice that it shares that same woodwork, but it does, and thus Kubrick creates a connection between the two households, that connection also remarked upon with the red carpet that anticipates the pool table’s bright red felt. As can be seen in the image below, the woodwork at Victor’s is the same as briefly observed at the Nathanson residence when Rosa answers the door for Bill. Victor’s mansion’s exterior is the Polish Consulate at East 37th Street and Madison Avenue in New York. But perhaps this bit of lore exists for a reason as it ties Bill and Alice’s bedroom with Victor’s home and with the Nathanson home. And, as we shall shortly see, Bill and Alice’s bedroom does not map into their apartment. I am McBugger, I shall be taking the piss for your pleasure today, and I am a semi-pro pool player that got into anime a few months ago. If you’re new to pool, you may be confused by the term “English” that’s commonly used among pool enthusiasts.
