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.

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.

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.
― ryan, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 19:00 (nine years ago) link
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.

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

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.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 20 August 2014 22:17 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.
― pplains, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:10 (nine years ago) link
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).
― clemenza, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:18 (nine years ago) link
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, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:27 (nine years ago) link
pplains, it's worth your time and i wouldn't argue against seeing it on the teeveeyou're not obliged to buy into the conspiracy theories or take them seriously.
― Steve 'n' Seagulls and Flock of Van Dammes (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:42 (nine years ago) link
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.
― MaudAddam (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:48 (nine years ago) link
i like the shining but i got tired of listening to poorly recorded phone conversations about it after 20-30 minutes
― da croupier, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 01:55 (nine years ago) link
if you don't mind eavesdropping on skypes through a wall the visual gags are pretty great, i'll admit

I think I said it upthread somewhere, but I actually kind of wanted it to be loonies (even though I felt bad about wanting it to be loonies), but was very happy at the end that actually the vast majority of people were not painted as crazy at all... if anything, they're just good critical minds who got stuck on a singular reading. Aside from moon-landing guy.

it feels more like 'presented for your consideration: a catalogue of ~thoughts~ about The Shining' than a lol omg look at these wackos, which I very much appreciated
I mean, you can laugh and point at pretty much all of them in their own way, but the filmmaker mostly lets you do that on your own.

Wish it had done a better job of exploring the gulf between "Stanley Kubrick was a GENIUS and EVERYTHING meant SOMETHING even the TYPEWRITER MODEL" and "Stanley Kubrick should have fired his continuity person and set dresser."
― Οὖτις Δαυ & τηε Κνιγητσ (Phil D.), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:35 (nine years ago) link
I really liked the part about the layout of the Overlook. That's my favorite kind of fan obsession, really - taking what's clearly there, whether it's intentional or not, and working out the meaning/impact of it on the film (or book or song or whatever else) in great, specific detail.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:56 (nine years ago) link
it really taps into, what i like to think of as 'ultimate art' i.e. the unattainable idea that, as Phil D says, that everything constituting a particular piece of artwork is there for a reason and that all elements exist in symbiosis with each other with nothing left out and nothing included by accident or for unnecessary purpose. I don't believe even Kubrick could achieve this, but it's a thought I like to entertain whenever I come across anything I find myself obsessing over.
― joni mitchell jarre (dog latin), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 16:11 (nine years ago) link
Watched the whole thing for the first time in a really long time. Didn't realize that most of Danny's face shots was basically just this over and over:

Also, maybe this is a very common observation, but I had never noticed that the elevators, with the floor dials, are also making that "Kubrick" face.
