    So I've been watching a lot of Kubrick analysis videos. A lot of them are filled with confirmation bias regarding some really wacky shit like faking the moon landing and secret sex cults running the world (we all know this is the case but I don't think Kubrick was putting clues about it in movies).

    What I have come to really like is Kubrick's insane level of detail and the different little ways he would **** with viewers. A good example is in 2001: A space Odesey. There's a group of people standing and talking next to a group of chairs. In one scene there is a ladies blue sweatshirt draped over a chair, when the camera cuts back a little while later the sweatshirt is gone. It seems like a continuity error but someone isolated the background audio and there is an announcement coming over an intercom saying "a ladies blue casmier sweater has been found and can be picked up at the manager's office".

    So either Kubrick did the whole thing on purpose or he noticed the continuity error later and added the audio in later as a joke. Either way it's those kinds of little things that I find really cool about Kubrick.

    The Shining is full of little continuity error things like that but one of the producers said Kubrick did those on purpose to make people feel uneasy even if it was just subconsciously.

    You have it backwards.

    Maybe not, but it is real good (OK, at least surprisingly good).

    I mean, Eyes Wide Shut is explicitly about a sex cult for rich people.

    Yeah I know. I don't think he was murdered over it though. Why would they murder him then release the movie anyway?

    Oh, I didn’t catch the part where he was murdered for it.

    That's one big conspiracy theory that people float. There is some evidence for it, I won't deny that, but still not convinced. He died fairly soon after screening the film for a bunch of execs, who supposedly were not happy at all about the film. There is also reports of something like 16 minutes of the film that was edited out and destroyed after his death.

    Conspiracies are fun to think about but they're usually not true.

    Kubrick was a GOAT Director. The way he moved the camera is just amazing. I desperately want to be able to see 2001 on a big screen in 70mm.

    My top 3:

    2001: A Space Odyssey
    Paths of Glory
    Dr. Strangelove

    King loved the miniseries they did because it followed the book. I liked all, but the original movie threw me off because of the ending. I had read the book 3 times before isaw the movie so it was weird. But i still loved the movie, just thought of them as separate stories.

    You just can't beat Nicholson in that movie. I think that and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest were his best.

    Meh. They're just different. In the book he saves his family/is maybe redeemed. In the movie he freezes to death outside. The other big thematic difference is that in the book Jack Torrance has given up alcohol, and then has a gradual degradation/fall back into his demons at the hotel. In the movie it doesn't seem like he's ever been free of them.

    Both still effectively illustrate the dangers of "monsters" like addiction.

    I think that book was very personal for King, and that's why he got so upset. He is a recovering alcoholic himself.

    I loved the movie even with the different ending.

    I think Hawg would love these dense analytical pieces. I always loved the movie and might have to watch it this weekend. My daughter loves horror movies and she loves puzzles so I might have to do a Shining watch party and discussion with her.
    I do.

    I love this concept, and it makes so much sense. It reminds me of some of my own horror concepts (a video game in which perspective angles didn't add up in an almost undetectable way, looked ok but was uncanny somehow) as well as the main concept of House of Leaves--which I don't recommend but is the best example of upending the spatial certainty that is the bedrock of human mastery over anxiety.
