Kubrick bought the rights to the film with option to change … which he was going to do . he took out the walking dinosaur tree sh*ts . seeing technology wasnt what it is now , and the fact he wanted a lot of the super natural stuff left out. the movie is one of the best ever made film wise , story wise, and acting … Now go watch bill and ted or the matrix you lost us at Keanu Reeves

um. this is totally un-creepy compared to the end, when she is running out of the hotel and looks in that room and sees that guy in dog suit. that is creepy ish.

that was a creepy movie. not as creepy as my parents thought it was when they watched it at age 19 (long time ago) but still pretty creepy

Aw man! I just read it and I was soooo scared! I stayed up until 4 AM because I was scared of that lady. *shudders* I was like “Man that’s not right. That’s so not right.” OMG I should have video taped my expression when I was reading that part. XD

By: Alissa

Alissa — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:53:17 +0000

Haha. Same here. Yeah I thought that Jack Nicholson was really good! I mean, I totally get what Stephen King meant by saying that Nicholson wasn’t right for the part, because I was commenting on the cast and I was like “Pretty much all of them look like psychos.” It’s actually kind of funny.

Yay! My thoughts exactly! I’m a total snob about lord of the rings for really tiny reasons. One of the biggest is that Legolas looks WAY hotter how I pictured him. ^_^;

Steven King HATED that they cast Nicholson for the part. He felt it was like a big red neon sign saying “THIS CHARACTER GOES CRAZY!” Since up till then, he’d only ever played characters that… went crazy.

Okay, I’ve read the book and own the movie. First off, anyone who thinks Stephen King writes crap novels is sadly mistaken. I love all his books. Now, movies where he was director or had some other form of creative control, weren’t as good as they could have been. He should just stick to writing books, that’s it. Jack was cast perfectly as Jack Torrance, I don’t care what you think. As I read the book, I couldn’t think of anyone better to play that character than Jack Nicholson. Now, as for Shelley Duvall..I could’ve done without her. She made the character very annoying and obnoxious. I would’ve went after her with the axe quicker.

You have poor taste in writing, my friend. King writes incredible novels.

The book scared the crap out of me… especially the old lady in the tub. And it was a couple of weeks before I could pass the firehose in our dorm without looking sideways at it. You know, just to check.

this film is the only decent depiction of one of SK’s crap novels because Kubrick REJECTED KING’S SCRIPT. After that SK always demanded creative control, and all the movies/miniseries he has made have been vomit awful.

It’s good because it doesn’t follow the book.

damn, i forgot how creepy this particular scene was! it’s all coming back to me now though…

The movie is brilliant but should be assessed separately from the book. Kubrik clearly took liberties but he made a masterpiece.
Spielberg and War of the Worlds is different. What he made WASN’T a masterpiece but it should not be assessed along with the book. either.

OH man! Jack was perfect, but Shelley Duvall sucked to no end AND they ruined the ending. I still have nightmares about those creepy freaking twins, though.

I’m often disappointed in movies made from books that I enjoyed, usually for subjective reasons like, “That character doesn’t look at all like I pictured [him/her/it]“. However, I will say that, IMO, “Interview with the Vampire” did NOT suck because it strayed from the book; the book and the movie sucked completely separate chipmunk balls for completely different reasons, independent of one another.

But you ARE a snob about books-to-movies, as if you expected movies to stick true to books, like so many of the broken, disappointed, and hand-wringing masses who continue to wallow in the delusion. Let me guess — “Interview with the Vampire” sucked too because it strayed from the book? Well of course it did! Otherwise, we’d have a five-hour snore-fest of self-indulgence because anyone who’s read Anne Rice knows that brevity and sticking to ONE story in a book are not among her strong suits.

Maybe it’s just me, but I liked Shelley Duval in the role… She did have that annoyingness about her, and it makes you unsurprised at why Jack wanted to take to her with an Axe..

I actually thought Nicholson did a good job, but I’ve always been of the opinion that if I had to be snowed into a hotel with Shelly Duvall (in her character, I have no idea what she’s like in real life) it would have taken about half the time for me to grab the ax and go after her.

Oh. I still feel the need to de-creepy-fy the whole shot. Give the two girls a makeover of sorts and rip that hideous wallpaper and do some kind of Italian plaster on the walls, hang some fabulous window treatments,……….I think that might help just a little. ……………….mmmmmmmmaybe.
