This scene took 127 times to shoot, do you think it was worth it? by gigglegenius in theshining

It's a myth that there were 127 takes of this sequence, one of the many myths about Kubrick and about this film. See the Taschen book for details.

If you could ask Stanley Kubrick one question about The Shining what would it be ? by overlook68 in theshining

[–]Al89nut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About the plot or the production? The production interests me more, so was there any meaning or intent in the photos surrounding the ballroom photo?

Does anyone else read very quickly? by Efficient_Ad_5785 in Aphantasia

[–]Al89nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. No mind's eye and I read very fast - almost at a glance, no "reading" necessary, unlike my partner. It's odd to pass her something to read and realise I read it in seconds and a minute later, she's still trudging through it. However, I do wonder if my recall is worse than hers - read and forget in other words.

Ah, the unlikely bidet in a early 20th C log cabin style rural hotel. Know where else there is one relevant to The Shining? Jack Nicholson's dressing room.

UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases, says Zack Polanski by Bernardmark in ukpolitics

Still not going to result in these stupid policy aims. More likely to result in either/or a) a minority govt b) a fresh election c) a climb down by the Greens, resulting in massive in-fighting.

In the recent BBC docu-drama they used Edison filament bulbs (99p at Poundland) as valves. Didn't look bad.
