(2/6) Stephen King's The Shining (Episode One) (1997)

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

God, that kid is really annoying.

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

The only character I like way more in this version is Wendy. I actually really like Wendy in this more.

[lostpolly]

the kid needs to learn how to close his mouth. i can tell this is going to be long and drawn out but i got nothing better to do. it IS a good story though. the fact that shelly duvall isn't whining in it and tony takes on an actuall form and not some annoying little finger being is an added bonus. seriously though, is the Dark Tower ever going to make the leap from a cinematic dream to a motion picture event??

"BUTTERS!

YOU ARE GROUNDED, YOU HERE ME?

GROUNDEEEEED!!!"

[Zombiecrush75]

More faithful to the book, but the casting...fail. Especially the kid.

[TheDarkwingj]

Kubricks Verison: freaky

This version: more faithful to the novel

[Myytmovies]

Here's how it goes

Stanley's version-More Scary

Stephen's Version-More Faithful

[grkpektis]

tonny is supposed to be danny or dannys son from the future trying to warn him, I guess the reason he's being so vague is because he is not allowed to change things too much

[destoronel91]

The kid! it's "aha" from The Little Rascals.

[nDndAd]

@destoronel91 Uh-huh. XP

[sspdirect02]

Not every child actor has to be Rick Schroder!

[SteelHyaena]

The teeth AND the upper lip. Kid's got an ugly.

[CountNadir]

Steven Weber looks a lot like Imran Khan just a little younger though and longer hair.

[theamvgirlx]

everyone picking on the kid? Not all movie children can be some perfect poster boy!

[SuperSargatanas]

I've yet to see a made for T.V. Stephen King movie that is any good. None of them do the books any justice. Always piss poor acting and low budget shots. The only one that was halfway good was The Stand...and that was because of Gary Sinise, the others in that film sucked.

[Lt0Th3M]

WHAT DOS THE SIGN SAY!

[haeddus]

the torrance actor is fine, the dany one is just crap, as is wendy. however, interesting to see this king-adaption. hard though to watch it unbiased :) still, doin me best, like it so far. except dany...

[solofire1]

you'know, doc fits really well in this, danny sorta looks like bugs bunny with those bucks he has going on aha

[FudgePackProductions]

@solofire1 Nnyrrrr, what's up doc?

[Lt0Th3M]

@FudgePackProductions haaha

[sophie09831]

What sucks is that there are dissapointments with both versions. If you took Kubricks version and this version and put them together it would be awesome! I would take the setting and cast from Kubricks and put them with this script. The overlook just looks so small in this version. But, i guess there will always be dissapointments when translating from book to screen.

[dopelyrics420]

They need to remake this as a mini-series on Showtime or HBO. If you haven't read the book then STFU about it not being true to the original because the book IS the original and way better than Stanley Kubricks version.

[bmf59]

This one is better b/c it actually follows the book.

[flagship21]

This is like a High Park version of the Shining.

[flagship21]

Nothing can beat the original. This is not true to the original.

[BLOODTheChosenOne]

@flagship21 This is true to the book. You should do your research before making an illogical statement. The original movie did a horrible job at staying true to the book. It was good movie though.

[LagBoy86]

Hey its that Kid from Little Rascals "Uh huh"! and Was being a Drunkard Stricked in the 70's than the 90's? The old version never got to that. Like how King put more in the Story of before. But whats up with Tony a floating nerd? Should have made him more Undead or something.

[CoscarelliFan]

The roque mallet in the VW bug was a great shot. Some scenes in the mini-series are certainly good.

[ljude01]

Holy Cow...Who is that sponsor wanna be?! Mike Brady?! 'You know what they say at the meetings...'

Ive been in AA for 12 years and if anyone talked to me like that I'd punch him in the nose lol

[canddyassx]

I hate that little boy.

[Lavern4101]

@canddyassx I hate him too. In the original Danny was a cute little kid but in this one he's an annoying little shit. I actually want his dad to beat him.

[canddyassx]

@Lavern4101 LMFAO. XD

[pichoharispe]

Much better than Kubrik's.



[Lavern4101]

@pichoharispe I completely disagree. This version is pathetic compared to the original. I'm starting to think Stephen King can come up with some good ideas but needs good directors to improve apon.
