Social The Cloud City Cantina (v.22.0): It's a trap!!!

Scatman nailed Halloran.

 

Oh yeah, he's in that picture too isn't he? Almost missed him. For...reasons.

 

@Dagobahsystem Do you know how I knew your name was Dags?

 

The Shining miniseries was far more faithful to the book, and no where near as good. Which highlights the difference between film and literature.

 

Yeah, but what about...reasons.

 

*sings to King*
Let it go.
Let it go.
The cold never bothered me anyway.

Like someone burns toast.

Leave traces behind.

Things people who Shine can see.

King said he got the idea for shining from John Lennon's song
INSTANT KARMA.

The chorus is nearly screamed by Lennon, "We all shine on! Like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. Yeah we all shine on."


These bigwheel scenes with Steadicam following Danny are genius.And the recording of carpet, hard floor dynamic. Wowsers is that effective.

 

Looks like I'm behind.

 

No ma'am.
Please tell.

That maze is an effective presence in this film. It's hypnotic in it's beautyband it shows up everywhere.
Beautiful music by Bela Bartok.

 

"Well some people shine, and some don't'"\

 

who did the music to this? that slow drum music and piano....

 

Bartok

Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste.

This tricycle sequence is scary.
All of this at room 237 was scored by Bartok.

The typing ritual.

@Emperor Ferus
Type something.
Whered you go bud?

 

I wish I stayed at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado when I lived there. But it's like 300 bucks a night. For the cheapest rooms. Now that is scary.

 

That would be cool, Chris.


This verbally abusive scene here is probably how he acted from time to time even back in Denver.

But he's being stalked by this Overlook Hotel.

 

Being isolated like that with no support system is probably the worst possible thing for an alcoholic. Plus ghosts.

 

This made me cry.
How lonely she is.
And isolated.

Over.

She just wants to talk to this nice man.

Over.

He has to keep the radio open though, for emergencies.

Oh no.

Hello.

Danny.

Come and play with us.

Danny.

 

I think I remember reading that the American Antarctic team has a tradition of double featuring The Shining and The Thing right before they head out. Brilliant!

 

Say something @Ava G.

We all three miss you.
And we have to start another
Save Ferus campaign.

Can I go get my fire engine?

More Bartok music.
Genius composer.



More mirrors.

Father and son convo.

How's it goin' Doc?

Then why don't cha go ta sleep?
Danny is so sweet. And a troubled little boy.
I feel sad for that poor child.

 

Binks is in the house. Redrum.

 

~sits at edge of bed and stares at wall~

Oh, I'm sorry.

 

Tony kind of sounds like Leia as Boushh doesn't he?

 

The music in here reminds of the tense music from Aliens. I know Aliens came after.

 

Danny was warned not to go into that room by Halloran. But he's just a child trying to fight this hotel that is destroying his family.

Jack's losing it.

 

I love this film but Jack has no arc. He's crazy from scene one lol.
