Fucking great movie. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. The soundtrack is absolutely terrifying as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the music in the movie makes it even more terrifying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
damn, when that black dude gets axed! Man that came out of no where. The funny thing is Nicholson made such a great psycho, now he just plays golf. What a waste.Tsk tsk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh i liked the black dude.........why does the black guy in movies always get killed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bullshit, ever seen Anaconda? Ice Cube doesnt die. Same in Deep Blue Sea, LL Cool J doesnt die (although he should) |

I think this topic goes in the pointless pile... it's not about music... sorry... *sarcasm* |
||||||||

|
|
come on, there's more merit to conversations about movies than "how tall are you", don't be a Sulkmaster. the shining is a great movie. i hope someday aphex's remixes of/homages to the soundtrack leak to the public. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
heh, it's far from sulking... I don't care that much about this message board to sulk over it... I just think it's stupid to go into threads and say "This is a stupid thread"... goodness, who cares? Just ignore the damn thread if you think it's stupid... |

i loved the movie so much i own the DVD......no special features tho. the bartender FREAKED me out major.....dunno....he and that waiter guy in the bathroom were just CREEPY....and of course the slow madness you see happening to Jack.....he's so damn good. the book is really good as well. trivia question....does anyone know where it was filmed? the exterior....i'm curious what hotel it really is. i went to one in colorado that said it was the Shining hotel....but it looks nothing like it.....anyone know??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
us.imdb.com look up the movie then "filming locations" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wanna be trapped inside that movie, no doubt. my VHS copy has a little documentary filmed by one of kubrick's brats -- pretty cool behind-the-scenes footage. the black dude is scatman crothers btw.... in the book he lives if i remember correctly and they all go off to live in florida happily ever after -- *puke puke* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i love this movie!!! Very creapy , i think it's the only horror movie that actualy scared me. The bartender is Satan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
superb soundtrack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a damn scary movie, but I just dont understand the part near the end when Shelly what's her name and her kid are running out of the hotel, and they see that pig guy going down on (?) some other dude? What the fuck is that all about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just a symbol of the haunting decadence i imagine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah well it haunts the shit outta me! =p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that is a strange and very creapy scene. I have no idea if it has any meaning or symbolism , but i learned when took "movie history" classes in school that when most good directors make movies almost any thing you see has a inner meaning/story , all the colours and settings and camera views tell you something. I don't remember , is it Jack or his wife who see this ? |

I've read every King book And I don't think much of this one The film is ok, not awesome.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a Stephen King fan huh? I haven't read The Shinning, but the movie is great... not really scary to me, but very entertaining and strange... I've read a few Stephen King books, and It is my favorite... great characters in that book, and a great story!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Shining is good, so are IT and many other books and movies, but St.King is generally boring... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've read most SK books, but i'm not really a fan - most of it is longwinded and shit and self-conscious (he was put down in his English Major Class for writing popular trash) i prefer his earlier books, and some of his more recent works such as Hearts In Atlantis and Insomnia -- i did, however, love Needful Things and Salems Lot |

"I'm not gonna hurt ya. Wendy, darling. Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash em right the fuck in! Great movie, still scares the shit out of me when I attempt to watch it alone. The last time I did the phone rang, I was terrified almost to the point of paralysis, I didn't dare get up to answer the phone. If anyone wants a text version of the book, send me an AIM. |

a million emcees and they ain't sayin nothing, they ain't fuckin it right they ain't fuckin it right they ain't fuckin it right they ain't fuckin it like... me! |

really steve? the shining didn't really scare me that much. i'm not really scared of those type of horror movies. i'm terrified of horror films like silence of the lambs and shit like that. it's wierd. maybe it's because i know that something like the shining could never really happen but something like silence of the lambs prolly could happen and there prolly was a serial killer out there who skinned his victims. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a tensive type of scary, very intellectual "horror" film. silence of the lambs is like that too. i guess the shining is more "abstract" which adds to its artistic appeal but makes it less scary. and what do you mean the shining couldn't happen? strip it to its essentials it's just man's descent into madness. happens much more often than cannibalism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who says it can't happen? haven't you heard of cabin fever? even without the supernatural element, that shit can easily happen -- after all, taking the horror into "normal society" is meant to be stephen kings, ummm, forte |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah insanity does happen a whole lot more but do you really think that there's a haunted hotel out there where little girls try to suduce you to play with them or they're are ghosts that run around and have partys? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course cabin fever can happen i never said it has happened but what i was focusing on when i said the shining couldn't happen was all of the supernatural stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
er wait i never said it hasent happened. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes mrs torrence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's figurative, man, it's figurative |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't usually say this, but i think the movie is 100000 times better than the book... fantastic f**king movie! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first time i saw it, the two littlw girls at the end of the hall really freaked me out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah when he comes around the corner with his little toy car and suddenly you see them and the music change from silence to total panic. That freaked me out pretty good to haha!! Masterful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the game Resident Evil is very inspired by the mood and enviroment in the Shining. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wanna live in that hotel! and ride around on a little go-kart thru the creepy corridors on LSD with SAWII blasted from hidden speakers 24/7!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the movie is such a good movie because it slowly shows Jack Torrence suffering the different stages of a mental breakdown, it's just fun to watch a guys sanity get broken enough until he goes bezerk and trys to kill his family. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, laquero |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I borrowed the dvd from a friend for like 2 months and never watched it. maybe I should go get it again or rent it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
make sure it's the right one! you don't wanna accidentally watch the modern version of it! which SUCKS! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
