I found out that a party I was at about 5 years ago while still living in PA was being hosted by "Jake", the stud man from Sixteen Candles. He makes custom furniture or something like that now. Kinda glad I didn't know because I would have been too tempted to hit him up with questions he's probably been asked a million times. IMHO, The Shining TV series was horrible. The Kubric version is a masterpiece.

the book ending was so very touching and emotional and most importantly offered redemption for jack in that when it came right down to it he chose his family over the hotel. the ghosts are demanding that he let the steam off the boiler and Danny mentally contacts him...they exchange the oft repeated phrase in the book "kissin' kissin' that's what I've been missing"....and he decides...**** you ghosts....**** you hotel.... I'ma let this bitch blow! for some reason kubric decided to have him freeze to death in a hedge maze that wasn't even in the book. I'm supposing the hedge maze happened because the technology of the times couldn't deal with living hedge animals.....and that's somewhat understandable.....but he coulda still stuck to the emotional ending from the book. Steve Weber stood absolutely NO CHANCE of filling Nicholsons shoes. poor bastard. |

Good - another Horror Movie thread - I love it!
Ok, so lately: The Nightmare (the sleep paralysis doc.) well sort of a documentary, I guess I'd consider it one. It Follows was VERY well done IMO. |
