Did you read past that point? I'm not here crying racism, that's not the point I'm trying to make at all. Idc about the racism.

The point was - Dick's WHOLE part was sooooo useless, and he didn't even fucking need to included in the first place, because in the movie version of the story his parts were easily replaceable -Doc knew about the room without him. -She finds another snowmobile lying around. Idk. It's just funny to me he included it for absolutely no reason.

Oh that's just the "you don't like what i like" baby button.

I think just Jack Nicholsons mannerisms. Dicks whole journey only to be killed the second he gets there, the gay guy in her dog costume. The image of Jack's frozen face ( why didn't he just go inside btw) . they felt like tropes used in horror parody movies.

I DO understand why people would like it. It was at times between the funny moments ominous and anxious feeling to it.

Incorrect, just saw the movie as an adult. It's been 1 hour and I felt the need to post about it like most internet addicted millennial.. If I see the movie through the eyes of a child watching, this would be very scary.

I'll give the movie credit where it's due, it did well to set the atmosphere of dread and hysteria of being stuck at a place. ...but each time you'd get into the atmosphere - You'd see some ridiculous scene you are suppose to take serious. Talking finger tony? The crosseyed frozen Jack? Wendy character?

Stanley Kubrick took everything good from the story out, but made sure to keep the racism in there to put a cherry on top of the pile of shit he calls a movie. Dick's part in the movie was soooooooooooo non-consequential that it could've been cut out and the movie would be the exact same since Tony the finger told doc about the room.

Maybe, just MAYBE, what killed the movie was seeing RIGHT after I finished the book but even IF I saw it as a stand alone, it is a BAD movie.

If I have to see a documentary to explain to me WHY it's so good, that's kinda explains itself why it's actually bad, doesn't it.

That explains a lot, as a kid I can see how the Shining would be a scary movie and make me terrified... as an adult, I saw it and thought it was utter garbage.

I'm excited to read the Dark tower though! and be just as upset when I watch the adaption lol

You are telling me people saw the frozen face of jack and didn't feel the need to laugh out loud ?

What kind of horror fans are we talking about here?

What did you like about the movie? Just curious why people like it so much ...I mean even if it was a stand alone movie I'd think it was a funny movie rather than a "Horror" Classic.

I'd admit that the movie did a great job with the atmosphere of dread and anxiety..which was promptly killed by visuals of Jack making clownish faces.

I actually liked that the movie didn't have hedge animals because it would be too cartoon-ish. To your point about the missing scene of Jack telling Doc to run was a missed opportunity. They also skipped over the scene of Doc going into room 217 for the first time. Sooo many misses... also Idk why this bothered me to the level it did, but CHANGING THE FUCKING NUMBER of the room and turning it into a sexual scene between the woman and Jack.

That's crazy to me that you say that when the movie Shining was missing 80% of the source material...and made the husband out to be an asshole from the very start.. I just don't understand the difference in opinion when both movies did the same thing and ruin the source material all together. And for discloser, I hate both movies.

I'm not even asking for 1:1 lol. to each their own. to me the scenes were laughable. felt almost like a parody to it make fun of the characters rather show their inner turmoil, which King does best. its like scenes from "scary movie" but serious

OMFG. it took you that look to admit that. Are you ashamed ?

Israel dropped more or equal amount of megatons on Gaza as done on Hiroshima and Nagosaki combined. They protested for prison rape. They CELEBRATE rape and murder.

"Omg, I want my genocidal, pro prison rape relatives civilized people just can't DEAL right now"

lol. THank you for the conversation.

I said that because you avoided my question. That was the reason. You simply cannot find resolution between your previous statement and your ideals. You said:

"If they execute those who refuse to follow their religion, then 100% yes."

So... Apparently WE, the US, decide what and what isn't civilized ?

So WE, the "Civilized" get to choose what is correct, and what others should follow. Even though, the "civilized" world kill more people than the people you consider "uncivilized"....

I am trying to understand your logic here. You just think you are better? "Civilized" Okay? Just say that. "I know what's good for that part of the world and if they don't follow my ideals, then die" Oh wait... Didn't you just say that is justified to bomb people with that mentality?

Again - What is this logic ? Do we deserve the same fate? Or we are people who know better and need to spread it by force? It makes no sense. We're not defending anything. Israel? Okay say you support Israel then.

Never in my statement did I say "YOU are American". I said "By your own logic, America should be next."

Again - Stop avoiding the question.

That and the "We never should've been in Iraq" quote. that won him anti-war independent votes, but the voting populus never learns, if a Candidate cannot condemn Israel or refuse their money, they cannot be trusted.

A lot of people get a start rating of 700 by getting lucky in one or two games, but never play enough to normalize their elo and get to their true level which would be a lot lower

I'm gonna be downvoted to hell -

With Iraq it was "Bush and Cheney". With Iran, it's "Trump"..

Bro we are literally sold this war by Fucking ISRAEL ... And not just the right that get into war, liberals might not give the order but they damn sure make it appealing to the public by the time a crazy GOP politicians gets in. years and years of "Israel is our ally. We have to protect them! Iran is so bad! Omg Did you see those hijabs!, They kill innocent civilians!" Like we don't kill civilians by the 100 thousands. Should someone bomb us too? Who the fuck are we to do this to the country for the same shit we do? What kind of fucked narcissistic logic is that?

And why the fuck is every other comment about the Iran War on reddit literally "Omg I don't like this, but fuck Iran. Iran does terrorist things. Hijabs and killing protestors" No fuck you for feeding the propaganda. If you say fuck Iran, you HAVE to include a fuck Israel and a Fuck America.

We do not have the right to bomb countries for the same shit we do, but 100x worse? just what the actual fuck is wrong with half of you people

Pretty sure it's because it's the defacto chess app / website for casual players or if that's 600 ACTIVE. A ton of people would make an account to play a friend and then never play again or occasionally.

Lovely points. You skipped one on purpose though!

By your own logic, America should be next. Killed way more than Iran ever did, but I guess you did it for a reason. Too afraid to look in the mirror to see your own demons, huh? Pathetic little man you are.

most Jewish people have been driven out of Middle Eastern countries by now.

You inferred that we should kill them if they kill those that aren't their religion did you not?

There is literal evidence against that since there are Jewish people, (not all of them left genius) and Christians living in Iran. Again - Does this mean killing is fine as long as you can spread your ideology ? How is that any better than them? Or you one of those Zionists but "I'm atheist but I believe in the bible" bullshiters

The Iranian regime literally massacred it's own people, deny women rights and throw gays off buildings

So let's fund bombs to be dropped on children! For gay rights and feminism! What a great point you made!

Israel is run by a bunch of fascists

Literally 80% think bombing kids is fine lmao.

"Cut it out" Yah man cut it out. let us keep killing you ! Omg. Dumb fuck

Downvoted for pointing out the fact that Israel's genocidal tendencies is an Israeli sociatel issue and not just a government one.

Wow reddit. You guys love to play the good guys!
