Artificially Interpreted

That scene is three minutes and twenty seconds long. The film as release clocks in at two hours and twenty six minutes. Kubrick should have cut two hours, twenty nine minutes and twenty seconds from the movie.

The Shining sucks.

Don't blame the story. Blame the guy who completely fucked it up. Kubrick should never have done book adaptations. The two that managed to make it to the screen relatively intact were the exceptions, not the rule.

I confess to not having read the novel (in fact, the only King book I've ever been able to get through was The Eyes of The Dragon), so I wasn't blaming the story at all. I was objecting to a film billed as 'horror' that wasn't only not frightening, but was dull, dull, dull. Kubrick was overrated He wasn't a terrible filmmaker, but there are a helluva lot of better ones out there.
