"Him: 'I think I saw the shining but it was a while ago'"
"I love old pics of gilded age merrymaking and decadence in general. Something very uncanny about early modernity compared to even pictures of people from the very late 1800s."
"Saul Bass (American Graphic Designer, known for the posters of Vertigo, The Shining etc) signature Fish Stamp"
"Some of the films and people he's never heard of: The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men"
"The Shining is probably the most famous and iconic horror story of all time and if he had kept to the Stephen King script then the ending would have been terrible. Stephen King is so good at setting up stories but is the worst talented writer I've ever seen at finishing his stories. Without The Shin"
"so whenever there's a post like "what's your take on the shining?" Or "any 2001 theories?" And they'll say with a straight-face demeanor "my theory is that Stanley made a good movie and that's it""

"Checking out all these comedians' horrible podcasts feels like Shelley Duvall reading Jack Nicholson's typewriter."
"While watching it, the soundtrack had these high pitched notes that really resembled the smoke alarm chirp meme. We laughed at every scene of Jack going crazy because of the smoke alarm noise, while the black chef can hear it all the way from florida."

"You can skip the really famous stuff like the shining or A24."

"I love slow burn horror movies (The Wicker Man, The Thing, The Shining, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror) but this was just a poor mimicry of that category of film while being an action movie in spirit"
Actually confused by the love for Nosferatu here · u/ChemicalTutor · ↑35 · 2025-02-11

"On my date yesterday, since it was freezing out there, we watched a movie. It was between the shining and the thing (cold themed). While watching it, the soundtrack had these high pitched notes that really resembled the smoke alarm chirp meme."
