I have iJack on ignore but the thing is it doesn't really help when everyone quotes his nonsense like 4 or 5 times in a row. So y'alls Christmas present to me can be quoting iJack less after he gets back

 

Had to block his ass from my Twitter feed, he was so crazy.

He is on Twitter????

[The Stingray]

Look Stingray, I know I'm the dumbass here. The movie is perfect but I just didn't get it, therefore it needs to be seen again while paying more attention to the symbolism and the filmmaking technique of Kubrick.

 

Don't fuck with me. 

 I agree. The movie insists upon itself.

That's obvious.

[Dementeleus]

The fact that Jack was kind of an asshole from the get-go lessened the effect of his breakdown for me. But again, I shouldn't be making comments because I obviously didn't fully internalize the movie.

It's creepy and scary as shit in spots, but yeah, Jack is a psycho dick from the beginning and wildly overacts, Shelley Duvall does a terrible job, the kid is lousy (but to be fair, he's just a kid)...etc

He was. Not sure if he is anymore. Don't care.

I am convinced Tele is one of the ghosts from that movie.

I've never watched the Shining all the way through. One day it was randomly on cable and I started watching it in the middle. All it was was Jack slowly looking for this lady. It was quite lengthy and it started to unnerve me. I really didn't like that feeling so I changed it and never tried to watch it again.

[Chewy]

Tele's just soured on The Shining b/c he gets sent a screener of it every other week

[baumer]

Shelly Duvall was perfect for that role.  Danny was awesome.  Jack is brilliant.  Kubrick knocked it out of the park.  Tele saying Shining isn't that good is about as absurd as me saying that DOS is Plan 9 bad.

Damn Tele thanks for this post.

Yeah, the acting is pretty subpar. But the sense of dread and atmosphere is f**king excellent.

Is there an alternate universe Shining you guys are talking about?

To the noose!

[Shawn Robbins]

Shawn, was it the long ass post where he called you out for the STID/IM3 club?

 

Which one?

That's it.
