I had the paperback MAD! books, and so I saw their version of Clockwork Orange when I was about 12. It gave me nightmares. I saw the movie when I was 25 and it had relatively little effect.

We shot a missile into space
We fear it fell to Earth someplace;
Though we were aiming for the moon,
China claims we hit Kowloon.
Now Chao En-Lai is hopping mad
Because it seems our aim was bad,
And all our science expertise
Found nothing but enraged Chinese.
Mad Magazine, the 70s, from memory

You know Mort Drucker was sneaking his 110 Instamatic into some dingy Staten Island cinema for the $1 afternoon show of this.

from Mad Magazine issue #185, "Borey Lyndon (Kubrick-a-Brack Dept);" a Barry Lyndon (Mort Drucker?) parody with one character holding another in a headlock with the following text balloons:
A: I really detest you, Borey Lyndon!
B: Why...?
A: Because I'm supposed to be 18, and you 45! And you look YOUNGER than I do!
C: How gauche! Stop that fighting this minute! You want to wake up the audience?!?

Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

yes, title, from Lady Lyndon's husband, descends to his son, Lord Bullingdon. The book explains it only a little better, but you must endure Thackeray.

I had them all. He worked off of the scripts and sometimes there were scenes that didn't make it to production.
