Episode 446 - The Shining
Added 2019-10-04 02:43:04 +0000 UTCOn this month's Spooktacular episode of We Love Movies, the gang is talking about one of the all-time greats: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining! Just look at how much of a jerk Jack is being during that job interview. How come Dick Hallorann can't do a better job covering up that "Doc" flub in the kitchen? And who in their right mind decided that this film deserved Razzie nominations? PLUS: Welcome to Shelley Duvall's Haunted House!
The Shining stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers, Barry Nelson, Philip Stone, Joe Turkel, and Tony Burton; directed by Stanley Kubrick.

I think part of King's hate for this adaptation is that Jack Torrance was based on himself. So Torrance being p much completely terrible prior to failing under the hotel's influence and remaining so until the end rather than dying sabotaging the boiler to destroy the hotel feel personal to him

2025-02-20 21:56:22 +0000 UTCWHM Tony has the same voice as Tom Holland's Peter Parker, which makes it even more hilarious.

2021-05-24 17:28:42 +0000 UTCOops, i didn't mean to post that, I was writing a new paragraph. Anyway, rather than chasing Wendy with an axe Jack chases her with a croquet mallet and gets a few hits in along the way. The description of what she feels physically and emotionally is the only thing Stephen King's ever written that's genuinely haunted me.

2020-12-22 23:04:55 +0000 UTCDid any of you guys finish the book? There's one part in it that's actually more terrifying than the movie.

2020-06-06 16:37:08 +0000 UTCFun fact: Philip Stone (who plays the racist Grady character) also was in two other Kubrick films, Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon!

2019-10-08 13:27:29 +0000 UTCGreat episode, I had some bad dreams that night. I was trapped in the movie and it was mixed with some of my own moments of staying in this really creepy beach house one summer.

2019-10-05 02:58:08 +0000 UTCOh man... I remember being so jealous of Danny riding that Big Wheel around the Overlook's halls. When Steve mentioned the sound of it running on the wood and carpet floors it was an instant memory echo that i can still hear.

2019-10-04 21:31:29 +0000 UTCCan we talk about the foreshadowing of the walking jack and shelly through the overlook. Because every place they go is where the movie happens and the big parts of it all but it doesnt load them with a big old "remember this place for later"

2019-10-04 19:43:10 +0000 UTCThis is one of my top three favorite movies of all time and my only Halloween tradition. You guys did not disappoint. This ep was amazing. My favorite thing that didn't get mentioned was the hard cut from Jack saying he would never hurt Danny to (I think) the Wednesday title card. Makes me laugh every time.
