FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67756-the-shining/#findComment-1626136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Easily my favourite film of all time. The aesthetic (symmetry and American-Indian design), acting (Jack Nicholson is lovably horrific), the music, the "scary" bits and the dubious ending. Just stunning. Yes, Duvall is annoying, but if you watch the behind-the-scenes featurette it's clear that both Nicholson and Kubrick put her through a lot of shit so her complete exhaustion and fear is actually real in the end.

jules Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've always loved the scene with Danny riding his big wheels. the sound design is killer the way it goes from carpet to hard floor to carpet, etc. easily one of my fav movies of all time as well. funny how Stephen king hated this version so much.

patternoverlap Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 One of my favorites, that seems to be reinforced by the youtube videos about how it's a metaphor for how Kubrick faked the moon landings and the one about the impossibility of the Overlook itself spacially. So much wonderful eeriness.

patternoverlap Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think he was upset that it deviated so much from the book in tone and structure. As a film on its own (divorced from the book) it is amazing.

Soloman Tump Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 WHAT There was a tv remake???!! Where can I see this? Love this film. Saw it when I was about 10 and it completely shit me up for ages I honestly thought Jack Nicholson was the devil. Still love it now - my girlfriend gets scared easily and she cannot sit through this film without having to leave. The soundtrack throughout is incredible.

acid1 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My fav "horror" film. I'm just glad they didn't resort to any "loud-bang startled" thrills and it was all cerebral and discomforting. Wendy Carlos was in full effect back in the day.

baph Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) The remake* is terrible, but at least the guy from Wings got some work out of it. Go, guy from Wings! *It's not really a remake, it's a fairly straight adaptation of the novel, with all of the fantastic acting and production values that you expect from a 1990s Stephen King television miniseries adaptation. IT MIGHT EVEN BE BETTER THAN TOMMYKNOCKERS GUYS Edited July 27, 2011 by baph Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67756-the-shining/#findComment-1626333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
