The Shining

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.

Noticed Room 237 on YouTube. You probably wouldn't want to watch it for the first time there, but may be useful for watching certain parts again.

thanks for the head's up.

Excellent film. Not sure why you wouldn't want to watch it (unless you have strong negative feelings about The Shining itself--I guess I could see that).

I enjoyed the movie. I don't know if I want to spend any of my time hearing how it's really all about the faked moon landing.

Anyway, I'll be sure not to watch it on YouTube if I ever do feel the need to see it for a first time.

pplains, it's worth your time and i wouldn't argue against seeing it on the teevee
you're not obliged to buy into the conspiracy theories or take them seriously.

The moon landing stuff is, what, 10-15 minutes of the film? The other readings in the film are a lot more plausible, or at the very least, less maddening.

i like the shining but i got tired of listening to poorly recorded phone conversations about it after 20-30 minutes
