I don't agree. But that's actually pretty funny. Redeemingly bad criticism.I'm increasingly ambivalent about the Shining. I've flipped from thinking it the most frightening film I've ever seen to being unable to view it as anything other than a comedy. Last time I saw it in the theater (special screening, Halloween), I and some dude on the other end of the theater were the only ones laughing--and he was probably getting evil looks from neighbors and elbows from his wife as well.
Kael hated 2001 as well, as I recall.
