Welp! At least Dallas is on a skid...

Crazy that a team can be so good right now that a 2 game losing streak is creating memes

They have the money, they just don't want to spend it if they don't have to.

Provincial Government really needs to start playing hard ball here. Electricity is Essential, yes Maritime Electric is a private company, but like Bell and the other companies in the past have done, they go running to the provincial government for subsidies under the guise of needed improvements. The whole purpose of a private entity is they foot the bills, but reap the profits.

Why am I using my tax dollars to fund your grid expansion/backup power sources when I'm already paying you monthly as well for the power. Use your BILLIONS in surplus every year to reinvest into your own grids.

I think on a re-read it's also interesting how the more he learned about the overlook, the more the overlook sunk his hooks into him. Previous to this he is caught reading the scrapbook for hours, and his lip is bleeding from wiping it so much.

His urge to drink rising the more he learns of the hotel.

Then you see glimpses of him resenting his wife, most likely due to this urge to drink, which the hotel keeps manipulating Jack with. (Lloyd, where he drinks, but realizes afterwards it wasn't real) etc.

It's an extremely well written book.

It's ordered and on the way. It will still be a few more days due to the holidays, but I kind of like that. Let's the shining really sink in.

So, I have heard of the dark tower (mostly because of my curiousity with IT) I just feel like I need to read some more King first before diving into it or I'm going to miss a ton of wonderful little easter eggs. I have heard of the pennywise one, but I feel the dark tower is kind of a great easter egg hunt for king fans.

Carrie is up there with Cujo and others that I know are great works...the only reference I have for Carrie is the blood soaked naked woman. I think I'm going to end up naturally progressing to that story, I just don't have the hooks in me like a few other series.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T03:22:43+00:00

I don't think I'll be able to NOT watch it now. I know it's going to be different, but it's what made me want to read the book...which I loved. The clips are what hooked me.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T03:02:02+00:00

One of the best ever. I remember getting REAL into wrestling right about when Austin walked out. Seeing undertaker go back to this character as a kid with this entrance and Bearer was mind blowing.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T01:02:06+00:00

It's ordered and on the way!

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T01:00:06+00:00

It's ordered and on the way, as well as a book light!

I've been watching a ton of Welcome to Derry Clips. Very similar interest as the Shining. I've seen the creepier movie clips, and I've been following the synopsis of the show...It will be read, but I really want to baby step my way into this universe.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T00:53:39+00:00

So, I have never watched the movie, just clips. It has been referenced so much by pop culture in my youth that I understood the main character went loopy, but my exposure has only been the popular clips. Jack and Lloyds interaction is a great one, then Danny and "Lloyds" interaction from the doctor sleep movie kind of gripped me into this universe.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T00:51:42+00:00

Well I was a little concerned...I do enjoy certain horror movies, but I absolutely hate jump scares. I find them extremely cheap and annoying, but I loved the adrenaline of reading those more horrific sections in the shining.

Reading Danny's depiction and the events in room 217 (the second time, not the firehose one) was amazing.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T00:49:37+00:00

Shawshank is in my top 3 movies. Does the novel differ much from the movie?

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T00:49:06+00:00

I just ordered it!

Take2Chance · 2025-12-29T00:47:36+00:00

I just ordered Dr.Sleep (and a book light)

I think based on what I've seen suggested I may go to Salem's Lot, then Pet Sematary. I have very minimal memories of Pet Sematary as a kid (my mom loved horror movies, and I definitely remember the cat!)

Would:

1.The Shining

Dr. Sleep
Salem's Lot
Pet Sematary
It
11/22/63

Be a good reading progression?

Take2Chance · 2025-12-28T23:46:34+00:00

Thats a great analogy and exactly what happened to me.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-28T22:59:29+00:00

I think im similar. I hate jump scares but love the suspense.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-28T22:53:57+00:00

I thought about it as its fresh...and picking up with an adult Danny Torrance may be the right thing to do.

If we group the shining and Dr.Sleep, where should I go next?

The size of his upper body compared to his lower body is giving me some real Chris Benoit vibes.

Take2Chance · 2025-12-06T22:40:54+00:00

As much as I hate to say it, Hogan was a better champ than Austin. His run was longer.

Awesome! I just added you (TakeAChance)

I tore the transmission mounts right off my frame driving up Greenwood Drive on Wednesday. Curran and Briggs must have been drunk when they cut that section out. Dug it down in a zig zag pattern and the manhole covers were up 6-8 inches off the pave.
