    but thanks for the tip. We've got the Shining somewhere in our over-long netflix queue. So we'll definitely be watching it sometime within, I don't know, the next year or so.

    I read something not too long ago about parallelisms between The Shining and 2001. Worth checking out as well, perhaps.

      It actually begins when Ullman is welcoming the Torrences near the front door. Watch how he can't take his eyes off the young thing leaving.The (again in slow motion) watch how he is distracted by other young things all through the tour.

      Rico, et al,

      Apparantly, there are many fans of The Shining here at the asylum...so i guess, if everybody tells me I'm sick, I'd better go lay down.

      I've been thinking about the film, and there are two scenes that really stand out to me:

      The "baseball bat" scene ("give me the bat, Wendy")...Jack is great here, and so is the camera work and direction...Shelly, as usual, is not up to the rest of the company.

      The "bar" scene ("Lloyd, I'm the kind of man that likes to know who's buying his drinks)...I can't think of the name offhand of the veteran character actor playing the bartender, but he and Jack are really working it here.

      Overated scene..."Here's Johnny." (improvised, I believe, by Jack). Funny at the time, but hasn't worn well imo.

      Thanks for the tip on the lecherous manager of the Overlook...now I MIGHT have to watch it again.

      Regards,

      Gary

        He is also one of the three men condemmed to die in Kubrick's "Paths of Glory" So cool that he's in "The Shining" as a ghost from the Overlook's past.
