The Shining

aw!

pretty reprehensible to use a national enquirer article as yr sole source for where-is-shelley-duvall-now, not that i know where shelley duvall is now

absolutely true but this photo is riveting to me

Feel like I would be remiss if I didn't post a link to this Shining tee a local printing company released this month.

that's cute! it's missing a hint of shelley but otherwise perfect.

is that his daughter?

Yeah, think that's Vivian, who shot the 'Making Of' docu

filled with macgruber-esque insanity

oh that's rad. i like where he highlights the explanation of cabin fever and writes "this is the 1st thing the audience will worry about."

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.

oh it's "ullman should say this".

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.

No PDF of the annotation? :(

Talking of "what they look like now":

One of the left looks like Elisabeth Moss, in fact.

Ha - they have Twitter and FB pages http://www.facebook.com/ShiningTwins

Yeah the one on the left is pretty attractive?

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
