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. The Royal Suite of the Lanesborough reputedly has floor to ceiling windows facing Buckingham Gardens. That building is one facing Grosvenor Crescent and Duke of Wellington Place. In some games such as straight pool, a foul results in a loss of one or more points. However, it's much more likely that some of the Lannister kubbs will still be standing after the Starks run out of batons. Let's say the Lannisters throw all of their batons and some of the Starks' field kubbs are still standing. Tuck the unknotted end in the same position, and this time when you say the magic work and snap your hand, release the knotted end while keeping the unknotted end secure between your fingers. As usual, you are only allowed to play the game for a certain amount of time-unless you purchase more time with real world money of course.

While it might seem confusing at first, by splitting the balls into solid colors and stripes, what is billiards it becomes much more manageable. The table cloth in the game also facilitates faster movement of the balls during the game. The cloth used in billiards is fast making the balls move more swiftly on the table. Glycine and chloride ions make protein transfer more efficient. To make matters worse for a biographer Astill seems to have been well-liked, with no real flaws in his character. No, no, no, no, no, no, 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. 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. Every generation has a few holders of the pool secret and who also let the pool secret out of the bag. In shot 499 the butler leads Bill down this hall to the closed door of the pool room. This leads me to think that Kubrick didn't like what was shot during those 10 days at the Royal Suite, that a set was built for the billiards room, and that woodwork from that set was also used for the Nathanson apartment. IMDB has the lore this pool room scene took three weeks to shoot, but the 1998 Guardian article states that the Royal Suite was booked for 10 days. 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.

And, besides, the Lanesborough does not, as far as I can tell, appear to have a corner room that faces out on two close set neighboring buildings from which such windows could be viewed as observed in the shots from the pool room. The pool room is a corner room with two windows, the one beyond the sofas and the one seen behind a ship model. The opposing player gets the cue ball-in-hand behind the head string. Because of this, it is possible for a game to end with only one of the players having shot, which is known as "running the table" or a "denial"; conversely, it's also possible to win a game without taking a shot; such a scenario may occur if the opposing player illegally pockets the 8 ball on any shot other than the break (such as sinking the 8 ball in an uncalled pocket, knocking the 8 ball off the table, sinking the 8 ball when a player is not yet on the black ball, or sinking both the 8 ball and the cue ball off a single shot).
