agreethe movie itself never struck me as misogynist
also this is otm said it before but wendy near-singlehandedly saves her life and her son's life in this movie. the misogyny criticism seems to rest on the notion that she screams and cries too much while doing it. if only there was a word for the belief that a woman's emotions make her stupid and weak.

seemed like the poster of jack making the jack face through the hole in the doorway was second only to travis bickle practicing his aim when it came to dorm room movie posters (travolta and Sam Jackson in pulp fiction up there too.)

Showed this to the girlfriend last night for the first time. Have we ever mentioned how all of Wendy Carlos' spooky music cues seemed to have been completely nicked by "Ghostbusters?"
Also, if you stream this from Amazon, you get the slightly extended version.

i only just noticed for the first time that when jack is going insane, before he's actually homicidal, wendy has basically taken over all the major responsibilities for the hotel - she's working the boilers to make sure they don't all freeze to death during the storm.

yes! it's notable that wendy does ALL the work in the hotel, including the work of parenting, but her work is never mentioned. jack's work - talked about so much in the movie, and the whole point of their being there - finally amounts to typing the same complaint about work over and over for pages. def intentional, def important.

Saw Room 237 the night before last - loved it. Went in kind of hoping for total crazies, came out glad that it wasn't actually like that at all (except for moon-landing hoax man). Just revelled in the micro-analysis and pattern-finding.

OK, the conspiracy guy's thing about the carpet pattern actually made my jaw drop. It proves nothing, but damn.
Otherwise, thought that the moon stuff was actually the weakest part of the film; would have liked either him or the movie to make some kind of link between such a conspiracy and what's going on in the film thematically. The rest of the participants made much stronger arguments for their cases (though the stuff about the genocide of Native Americans was nothing new--I thought this was a fairly common and popular reading of the film).

driving me crazy that i can't read the note just below that, on jack's unadapted remark about how "a stupid man is more prone to cabin fever": "[something] should say this? it seems [something something something] to say it." it seems like bad job interview technique is what it seems like.

― i want to say one word to you, just one word:buzzfeed (difficult listening hour), Friday, 31 January 2014 17:43 (ten years ago) link
ullman shouldn't say it tho because the only point of it is to hint (like the "shovel out driveways" fight much later) at how important it is to jack to feel intellectual, like a writer not a hotel caretaker. the line from this page i would have cut out last is jack's question "was he a high school graduate?" anyway nobody ends up saying any of this; good call prob.
