And of course he did the made for TV version which was just a piece of crap.

He didn't like it because it wasn't faithful to his work, I understand his personal dislike of the film for that reason. But it's obviously clouded his judgement.

Kubrick was never one for faithful adaptations. A Clockwork Orange was the same way. He just knew how to make them more awesome.
