And Stephen King hates the movie


I'm with him.


How can one person, yourself, be such a failure at movies, sports, etc.

Can’t draw together a good conclusion to save his life.


Well he was fricking drunk half the time writing all his early stuff.

In his memoir he admitted that from Carrie to 1990 he'd write most of his chapters late at night and go through about 15 tall boys and pass out at 8am.

People still think though that the Shining is his best prose. It seemed he grew from Carrie and was still feeling that literature class mist hovering over him but more refined.

Kubrick did not frick around behind the camera. He didn't make a ton of movies, but every frame of every one was art.

Period.

I didn't like Kubrick's
ending either. I thought
the mini series ending was better.

The Shining sucks balls. Kubrick's attempt to make art kept him from making a good movie. Real slap in the face to a great novel.

Fwiw--only pussies admit to being scared by his version of The Shining. Bring on the hate Idk.
