Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains ambient songs (and upbeat songs) heavily inspired by Stephen King's novel and movies The Shining, as well as Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
Nicholson's so good in this it makes me laugh... If you ask me, he is to horror what Hendrix is to guitar.. I mean, its almost a spiritual experience to watch him in this film.
...And its so irritating that many people (my second half) are just too scared to dare watch what has to be one of the most powerful performances on film.

This movie is actually a kind of subliminal joke. I was reading an analysis of Kubrick's work, and it seems very plausible that Kubrick had 2 kinds of narratives. The surface narrative, which is what most people see in his work, (and therefore, why a lot of people hate 2001, which is probably the greatest movie ever made), and the subliminal narrative. He subliminally throws the Stephen King aspects around as if he is making fun of them, but there's so much more when you find the true messages.
@Ilikelimpbizkit Ya man, that's it. He really has a lot to say, and I totally agree. Of course, I kind of am taking his word for it because I don't see this movie often, but after seeing his 2001 reviews and watching the movie repetitively, I have found a great amount of truth in his reviews. That plus his review of Alien. Now I'm just waiting for his WALL-E and Dr. Strangelove reviews.
@Bassbait I usually agree with him, but I'm surprised that he didn't find much in Donnie Darko. Personally, I found Donnie Darko to be extremely rich and easy to interpret.
@Ilikelimpbizkit Well I haven't seen that one, but all I can say is that he probably didn't find much depth to the film, because sometimes when movies seem to be smart, they are actually not. For example, the movie Se7en seemed to be all genius, but when I thought about it, it's a pretty stupid movie. I want to see his Fight Club Analysis because I found it to be alright, where as Se7en was awful and by the same director. Oh, and Pulp Fiction sucks.
listen dudes the shining is not meant to be fuckin scary its suposed to disturb you and play with your mind. if you want to see distrurbing shit watch pet semetary
@Halloran2 it's good but another good music choice wouldve been the song that inspired the title for the book by Stephen King: John Lennon - Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)
The Kubrick-Floyd Site has a great article on The Shining.
I don't recall the 1.52 thing ever being a close-up, until an advert on UK TV a few months ago.
"what does a snail have to do" [...........] "..leave a really good slimetrail?" - Jacks character in The Bucket List on reincarnation (as interpreted by faiths that even actually know about it)
i looooooooooooooove the shining. b sure to watch our (me and the others who own this accounts) scary movie thats commong out soon. it'll be scarier than anything else before!!!!!! it's called the Underlooke inn. it has a few senens like the shining but not much. the rest is all our ideas. itll be so scary...
RE: sleeperthemadripper, The person in the costume and the other guy in the tuxedo? No idea but I suspect they were ghosts of some party ages ago. I think the person in the costume was giving the guy in the tux a blowjob.
yeah, i read the book (AWESOOOOOOME) and the guy in the tuxedo was the owner of the hotel and the guy in the costume (which is a dog not a bear) is a gay man who fell in love and stuff...all of you, buy the book, it's amazing!
Throughout The Shining there seems to be an abundance of symmetry. I love the way Kubrick filmed it, the way he used the camera. Even the scene when Danny is pedalling around the corridors, the 'on/off' the carpets, it's rhythmical, and alluring. Was the aformentioned 'symmetry' intentional?
the shining is an outstanding video. Definitly Stephen King at his best! The book is even better, for those who haven't read it, I encourage you to do so. That book is was got me hooked on King, I read all his stuff now.
I guess Jack Nickelson is a really mean guy in real life. Also, the director for the shining was horrible too. I guess he was a racist, and the black actor who played dick was treated really bad by him.
I can't think of a better horror film. Can anyone else? You really have to watch the shining more than once. There are so many elements you don't notice watching it.
cool video! I love this movie! "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" I used to send the new banquet staff member to the supervisor pulling alcohol for the bar that night and tell the new person to make sure they had a bottle of "RedRuM" lol The supervisor would then bend his finger and go "RedRuM!" "RedRuM!" Always good for a laugh!
Can someone answer a question, please don't get my back saying i never saw the movie, blah blah blah.....because I DIDN'T. Bu i've heard and seen clips, but anyways. What the fuck is up with that bear at clip 1:50.....this seems like a freaky movie
in the book danny sees it in the hall, and he says i am going to eat your little cock. STRANGE MAN but i love the bit in the movie, but they should have used the bear clip like in the book. in fact, i saw somewhere they were going to,but they thought Danny shouldnt hear language like that.
rutgerhauerfan is right, King was disappointed, mainly because Jack Nicholson was already known for his portrayal of an insane asylum patient in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". So King thought everyone would KNOW that Jack is going to turn out insane in the end, that it wouldn't be surprise.
I guess he's right about that, but I still think Jack Nicholson was THE man for the job, at the time.
