kubrick 

Share definition Flag
1) One of the most respected, revered and influential filmmakers in motion picture history (ref. a multitude of Simpsons references for just one example). Kubrick's films looked and sounded unlike anyone else's. He quickly evolved in the 1960s from an A-list Hollywood director and respectable craftsman to a master auteur, responsible for thematically, technically and aesthetically groundbreaking work.

Some of his later films (underservedly) reached fewer people when audiences could no longer keep up with his thematic explorations of the failures of Western civilization.

2) A really bizarre and eclectic collection of plastic toys and figurines from Japan, so named for no known reason. Sold at Giant Robot stores and other internet hipster-toy merchants, etc.
Kubrick is not for the intellectually challenged or those weaned on Bruckheimer trash.

To nose-fuck someone or something (as heard on the Nerdist Podcast #7 with Chris Hardwick).
"If you give someone the Kubrick, or you're Kubricking someone, it means to nose-fuck them."

"I think the people in that Eyes Wide Shut orgy were Kubricking each other."

the only filmmaker I have ever seen who's films are either brlliant (A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket) or crap (2001: A Space Oddyssey, The Shining). the only way to get 2001 is if you read the novel, and the shining is so differant from the source material that it ruins much of the atmosphere.
kubrick: " o crap, i forgot to film the expositional scenes! o well this picture of a monkey staring at a block is pretty self explanatory. as is the giant baby from nowhere!"

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
