'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
And Scatman Cruthers.

it's STILL a fantastically directed, written, and acted film.
I thought Jack Nicholson's performance was overrated. He went from zero to crazy in two seconds. There was no nuance.
Are you sure we watched the same movie?
all work and no play makes Polter-Cow a dull boy...
Have you read the book? That could be it.
Thomash, it's Crothers.
No, I haven't. I hear the book is pretty different. And scarier. Stephen King's writing style makes me want to kill, though, (at least, it did in The Green Mile and The Gunslinger, which I supposedly was going to love) so I don't really intend to try it.
From what I hear, the book and movie are very different. Still a good movie though.
If you want to see a more faithful adaptation of The Shining, I am led to understand that you should see the TV miniseries version, starring Steven Weber (from Wings) and Rebecca DeMornay.

Sean, you have been led correctly. I really liked that version.
