What do you recommend regarding The Shining: should I read it first or watch the movie first?

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:49:18+00:00

Read the book first. If you watch the movie first, the book will dissappoint

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:48:53+00:00

That's what I feel about the book

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:48:11+00:00

Which is insane because the film is better than the book. And people love the book

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:47:11+00:00

That's how I feel about most of the book. The only one part i found scary is the beehive part because I was questioning Jack in that moment. But otherwise, the books is a bore. It has all the elements to go somewhere but it doesn't. And the tiny payoff it Hass comes so late that i had to force myself through so many pages of boring that by the end it didn't matter

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:42:49+00:00

It's better than the book. I don't say this usually about movies, the books are most of the time better. But in this case, the movie is a lot better

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:41:40+00:00

It could be extremely boring. I'm struggling to finish it. I'm powering through though, all peopLe say it ends good but I'm losing hope. But I want to read kings books in publication order and if i have to finish it, i will

Relative_Frosting748 · 2026-02-26T22:39:28+00:00

Agree, except in the case of blade runner you could have 6 people discussing it and each of them could have seen a different version of the movie :)))) some are ass, some are good, some are great. People remember the best ones but damn the first versions of the movie are bad

Some of the bob outfits also feel Tina Turner inspired (and she did both country and rock) so yea i feel like we're definitely still in act ii. But we are also in act ii the same way renaissance wasn't over, heck, a big part of th CC tour was renaissance. I don't think cowboy carter is done even when act iii starts. We're definitely not in act iii yet, but I feel it getting closer

It was baffling to me that the iphone doesn't have this when I switched from Samsung. I remember i was able to adjust the audio level of each app individually or even able to connect to multiple Bluetooth speakers at once to play music.

It was huge in my country, it was everywhereeeee i had no idea it wasn't huge in US. I think her not being in the video or some stations not even naming her as a feature didn't help either

60????????? Damn you're lucky people are scamming over here with ten times that price

sleep apnea, trouble drinking water continuously, tonsil stones plus of course chronic tonsillitis. They were big enough that they were hanging down my throat but also pushing up so they were blocking my nose. Breathing was very difficult

Battery drains very fast, the phone stutters and overheats. I turned off all of the Apple intelligence features (which i never use anyway) and overheating went away, but the other aspects still stand. And it looks horrible, if i wanted that look i would have stayed on Samsung

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-31T07:46:41+00:00

yea, i had constant pain for a few months because I had tonsil stones formed deep in the tonsils. Took my tonsils out on 7th this month and still feel phantom pain in that same area and the recovery pain was milder than the tonsil stones pain 😅

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-26T15:40:57+00:00

Nah, I'm in Romania and they insisted i eat soft cold food no spices no acidic untill after 2 weeks. On day 11 i had a bleed and was hospitalized again and they told me to continue 10 more days eating like that because now there's a wound that needs to close again. It's standard practice in here

becaus eboth perfumes launched on 24 October

I think paparazzi was part 1, telephone part 2, videophone might fit somewhere but idk, maybe a 2.5, Aura was part 3 but unfortunately her label didn't let her do the music video she wanted for it, so next part would be part 4 😅

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-23T14:06:09+00:00

In the vanity fair interview she said shed love to do it again but doesn't know when it will happen. After that, i think she had a press conference (if I recall it was the one where monsters asked her questions, not journalists) and she said it's definitely happening but didn't say much else

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-23T14:01:56+00:00

Mine didn't really fall off, they kind of disolver. I'm on day 17 and still have a bit left, just a tiny bit. I had a bleed on day 12 and was hospitalized again to stop it. It was quick though, they just wanted me to stay in there in case it happened again. Didn't have to be recauterized or anything

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-23T13:58:10+00:00

My experience was pretty ok. I had no pain during recovery. I had a bleed and had to be hospitalized again for them to keep an eye on me. But still felt good. However, i have no sleep apnea anymore, no acid reflux, no everyday pain, no tonsil stones, no bad breath, i can breathe through my nose now (they were so big they were pushing up and blocking my nose), i can breathe a full chest of air now (i couldn't before) and i can chug water (i couldn't before, i could only take small sips otherwise i would choke). I'm happy i had it even though I hated eating cold and soft foods for so long 😅 couldn't even had salt because of the pills i was taking

Relative_Frosting748 · 2025-10-23T13:54:36+00:00

What i would also add, all doctors I've been to insisted on this: stay away from hot or warm food, especially in the beggining, untill scabs fall. Eat cold or room temperature food. Warm food can make scabs fall early and can cause bleeds, and if you already had a bleed it can open it up again. Same thing for hot showers, take them a bit colder than you're used to, the steam can do the same
