THE INTERUPTION: “Ok… I understand.” :)
The 1st 3:00 minute scene in this montage from the Shining gives me such a mind erection: I think I am going to buy a blood red iPod with one button on its face which when you press it just plays this scene at damage volume inside the head of who I have handed it to to listen and to know. I would use it every day:
God, it makes me punch the air the air in joy to see to see to see Jack nail that shit so hard. That smile of exasperation. Days and days and days.

the cabin is on the way to mount hood in oregon if i remember right.
the shining is a fucking creepy movie.
I always thought there was something really funny about the sheer size of the room he’s working in. They’re having a “keep out of my study” sort of conversation, but they’re having it about a room the size of a gymnasium.

i don’t like how the wife is just a complete idiot. i feel sorry for her in the first three minutes. there’s this creepy male dominance thing going on – man as super writer yelling at dumb female. ugh.

ok i’ll elaborate: who gives a shit if its a woman interrupting? i think he would have had the same reaction if it was the son, or scatman carruthers, or a grizzly bear. why inject power roles and make this a political statement instead of something a little more interesting?

The Shining is in the air. A Jezebel commenter said our cover shoot pic reminded her of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmOoekbK6YI

there are probably some 14 yr old girls with pierced noses down by the mall who are totally on your side with this one.
everyone’s a goddamn politician.

i really like this movie.
if you don’t find it interesting that’s fair enough. it’s not really interesting to me, but more an exact replication of how i feel a lot of days, and that’s toward women, men, dogs, cats, babies.
your first reply statement was 100% political, and the kind of argument you get into in those entry level sociology classes with the girls who don’t like that cigarette ads have girls with big tits in them.
mwah shane mwah

Yes, one of my favorite movies, thanks for reminding. I watched this on set today and laughed really loud and people crowded around and tried to see it AND I DIDN’T LET THEM.

Shane: I find the Jack-Wendy relationship in The Shining to be very interesting. What I don’t see is the “male super writer” beating up on a dumb female. I see a psychotic, alcoholic, supernaturally possessed male ‘beating up’ on a brow-beaten, saccharine, & protective mother of their abused child. I think that Wendy was constantly under a sort of Stockholm Syndrome haze from Jack’s alcoholism and abuse. So what we see, or at least, what I think we’re intended to see, is an example of a female protagonist coming to terms with the representation of the exact kind of harmful Male-Female relationship that your first comment raised, and the relationship is obviously very negative and destructive.
thought I’d break the comment thread. the hotel where Stephen King either wrote, or got the idea to write, the book is in Estes Park, CO. It’s haunted. I lived next door to it for a while. I think it’s called the Stanley.
A scene from Dumb & Dumber was filmed there too.

you people over think shit like a bunch of old nags with nothing to do.
removal of ‘needs’ makes all of this bullshit go bye bye. HOLY SHIT I HAVE NOT EATEN IN 12 DAYS. HEY LET’S KICK BACK AND TALK ABOUT SOCIOLOGICAL YAY YAY JERKOFF FUN TIMES.
We can sit here and bitch because of a soft coddled life style. Don’t get so upset over this shit.
I’ll be the guy running after the coyote with the dead rabbit in his mouth. Zeus be damned if a coyote is eating before me.
don’t get so uptight over nothing.
THE MORE YOU KNOW (star flying by)
