The Shining

nice to see both went on to impressive accomplishments.

Lisa earned a degree in literature, and Louise has become a microbiologist.

awesome.

(usually the story concerning child-actors of any sort seems pretty grim).

In Room 237, I like the moment of screening The Shining simultaneously from the beginning and end. Would like to see a bunch of movies this way.

things i hadn't noticed before pt xlviii: the fine print on the sign for THE GOLD ROOM as jack enters cursing at the air advertises "the unwinding hour"

Ha, me neither.

I totally want the area rug. It's color scheme is pretty much the same as the area rug that I have in my music/guest room right now, so it would fit in perfectly, except I don't know where I'd put the rug I already have.

I would actually love that cardigan, but all of these things are so expensive.

I really like the sweaters, but don't think I can pull them off

I hate to break it to you guys but the pattern they are using is a wrong and lousy knock-off of the original design. But nice try.

Looks pretty close to me?

This is the pattern used on the clothes. Note the extra lines. Also the black lines are way skinnier.

Original pattern is more interlocking, this one looks like someone was tracing that and forgot to remove a layer or two before finalizing.

>:(

Sorry to get picky but THIS IS a Kubrick thing, it should be expected.

carpet analysis in room 237 was so fun

Carpet analysis ITT, not so much

Those are much more accurate. The lines should all be thicker, but we're getting closer.

It's not easy ripping off Kubrick's production designer.

the continuous lines are key.

socks remind me of bacon a little bit.

i'm unhappy with the coloring of the socks

The lobby of the newly re-opened and renovated Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on South Lamar in Austin, Texas pays clever homage to The Shining.

They also redesigned the bar next door with a bunch of themed karaoke rooms including a Twin Peaks black lodge room.

that's right on the edge of BACON ZOMBIES lololol but quality shines anyway

great, between that and bringing the damn food in during the movie no need for me to ever set foot in that place again.

have you been to Alamo Drafthouse before? Bringing food in during movies is their entire raison d'etre. They're a pretty great chain of theaters too. I understand the irritation with having your movie experience interrupted, although they go to great lengths to make sure this isn't the case. But they do a lot more to promote the cause of cinema (all kinds) than most movie chains.

seems unnecessary despite your professed enjoyment of hot dogs

;)

Without seeing the gif, thought Moodles was making that joke about the hallway.

I have been, once, and their raison d'etre sucks

even with the food service I think my experiences there have been consistently better than any other theater I've been to regularly.

yeah, I've seen many movies there over the years and have nothing but good things to say about them, but I can understand their approach not being for everyone.

the raisin d'etre sucks, but the duck d'etre is to die for

aren't they also like violently against texting in movies etc? sounds like they're the good guys.

i mean to complain about a theater like that, so obviously passionate about their love of movies, in an era when there are so few good and independent screens left is very... i dunno... ilx

that said, if nobody ever posted anything about stanley kubrick on the internet ever again, i wouldnt mind

eat a meal or watch a film. decide.

eat a film

Eat a watch.

I've never understood the fondness for popcorn in cinemas. I'm not a fan of the taste, the smell or the sound it makes.

you don't have to eat a whole meal. I usually just get a soft pretzel and a milkshake and track the progress of my stomach ache throughout the movie.

Cheap to make, keeps a log time, pure profit.
