I continue to love The Shining and agree that it has its funny moments. Although between A Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut Kubrick issued all his fims in monaural sound I think the 5.1 tracks on the most recent DVD issues (weren't the first real botch jobs?) are successful. If you have a DVD or laserdisc copy of The Shining take a slow mo look at the tour given by Ullman when the Torrences first arrive and check out all the young women he's obvuously been involved with.

As for 2001, I think most critics didn't care for it at first then slowly warmed up to the masterpiece that it is.
