The Shining

2 20s and 2 10s
I was afraid
They’d be there til
next April

and all the irreparable harm it's caused me.

They’d be there
Til next April

New Pogo track is based on The Shining

That footage from the Japanese paranormal investigations TV show crew filming Elstree and interviewing Vivian and Stanley (on the phone) is a delight from start to finish, including the soundless car journey through West London and up to Borehamwood.

The YouTube comments are almost entirely highly positive, although I guess probably consist mainly of middle aged men remarking on how captivating watching 20 year old Vivian talk is. Well, fair enough I'spose.

Link?

MareSnest links it above.

we were watching this tnite for halloween and it's amazing how fresh + relevant it feels today maybe more than ever

especially wild when you recall how reviled it was on release

when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind

i need to watch this again soon

Say someone burns toast...

after I picked up a copy on DVD recently so I can make mk2 watch it, someone pointed me to this interesting analysis re the trike.

never noticed these things before, but then I don't when watching a film.
I just watch it, and then move on, but this film has a lot of subtle on screen clues as to whats going on.
Was Stanley really this subtle, or, just careless re the trike ?

video isn't working can u give another link

ooops, sorry.

I still revile it.

I mean, as its director's worst post-Fear and Desire film goes, it's still pretty in-te-res-ting.

i don't buy that the changes are bc some of the film is taking place in the novel and some isn't. more likely explanation for the continuity changes imo -assuming they're intentional and not errors- is that the hotel itself manipulates and shifts reality. the film's emotional core doesn't work if it's a fantasy. if he's a successful writer fantasizing about murdering his family it brings too much of the subtext into the text - it's not a secret that the novel is about steven king's own struggles with anger, fear of his own capacity for violence, his own fears + anxieties vis-a-vis his work (he returns to themes of writer's block over and over again in his novels). to say that's actually the text of the film moves us too far away imo from the horror by fictionalizing it w/in the fiction. but we don't have that much distance in the film - these things are really happening. instead read the continuity errors like you do the impossible interior architecture - subliminal hints that something is /wrong/.

I totally agree with this.
Sometimes people read too much into things.

I used to follow the twins on Facebook and it was really delightful, just endless travel pictures of them smiling while visiting different museums and landmarks

love the hand-lettered wardrobe sign.

Speculation that a new 4K HD disc of The Shining will include the hospital coda:

SUprisingly bad movie lobby poster

these might not work promottionally (and don't capture the film's vibe) but I actually really like these!

I’ve read the coda as (part of the screenplay as I recall) and i think SK was right to cut it. Couple of caps and a link to the script :

I'm glad so far there has been resistance to the idea of The Shining 2: Danny Returns

. . . er

Yeah something tells me that will not be another blade runner 2046

I saw the hospital scene in 1980. It's superfluous and confuses things (even further).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Danny isn't here Mr Green

I had no idea about this! It looks like it could be very terrible haha.

mike flanagan! that... makes me more hopeful than it should

then again i never watched his adaptation of gerald's game

Yeah, I would normally not be onboard a Shining sequel starring Ewan McGregor, but Mike Flanagan's involvement makes me interested.

King predictably hates it already, tweeting this instead lol.

How about Netflix bringing back UNDER THE DOME, only starting from scratch and actually doing the book?

King's hatred of a movie adaptation of his work is about the only sure-fire way to pique my interest, especially if it's related to The Shining.

Always a good sign when the trailer for your sequel relies almost entirely on famous clips from the original movie, plus modern actors re-enacting iconic shots from the original movie. What could possibly go wrong?

haha, the Kubrick shots are in painful contrast with the "made-for-netlix" lighting on all the sequel footage.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that a trailer for a Shining sequel where a super handsome movie star furrows his brow and dramatically says "I always called it... THE SHINING" hasn't already been done on Mr Show or FunnyOrDie or something

This looks bad but then again trailers are bad but then again Flanagan will do everything he can to walk the line between reverence for kubrick’s film and fidelity to king’s crappy sequel novel, which will be bad

trailers are the least bad thing of all those things

I agree and I really don’t like trailers
