To be honest, I don't know why people think Eyes Wide Shut is such a long movie. Maybe because it ends releatively abruptly and a lot happens in it, but I thought it was a bit short.
As for whether or not I can count myslef among the Eyes Wide Shut Appreciation Society, I've seen 6 Kubrick films (2001: A Space Odyssey; Dr Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb; Eyes Wide Shut; A Clockwork Orange; The Shining; and Full Metal Jacket), and while I thought the shower lady scene in The Shining was a bit gross (mind you, not until he looked in the mirror), I can't think of one I haven't loved in some capacity.
