Article Comment – 'After Hours': Watch a Documentary About Martin Scorsese's Forgotten 'Indie'

What I meant was, little known to people who don't read this blog, i.e. non-film people. You'd be amazed the number of blank looks when I mention this movie. Then I show it to them, and they're converts for life!

Article Comment – Seriously Exhaustive Analysis of 'The Shining' Shows Kubrick's Inversion of King's Novel

I think Kubrick is being truthful and cagey. Jack's mental state (and the fact that he 'shines' and doesn't know it) make him vulnerable to the hotel and to prepare him for murder (he can barely stand his family from the beginning of the movie, and we know he has been a violent alcoholic.). Is he going crazy or seeing ghosts? The paranormal rubric covers everything from ghosts to E.S.P., telekinesis, psychic powers, poltergeists, etc. I don't subscribe to any of these theories myself I just think Kubrick was messing with everyone's heads (including Ciment, probably).

Article Comment – Seriously Exhaustive Analysis of 'The Shining' Shows Kubrick's Inversion of King's Novel

Like I said, this blogger goes off the rails, as do all of these other theories. The interesting thing to me was how Kubrick changed the source novel.

Article Comment – Read Stanley Kubrick's 'Napoleon' Script and Peruse His Plans for World Domination

Hey guys, thanks for the comments! This is my first post at nofilmschool and I'm going to be focusing on screenwriting mostly, with little detours now and then. I'm a filmmaker myself and glad to be a part of this community. I'm also looking forward to all your comments, as long as they're nice (ha!). Anyway, thanks again and look for more soon. Happy Memorial Day!
