The title of the Kubrick film is meant to be tongue in cheek, how to except an absolutely insane situation and make it quasi-logical. I don't think that applies to Saruman's feelings towards the ring at all.
Kubrick doing LoTR. Wow, that would be interesting (especially considering he's dead [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). Remember The Shining. I think Stephen King fans were ready to linch him. I love Kubrick and I love Tolkien and so I am very glad this never happened.
