Yeah, I love King, but he's just straight up wrong on this one. The Shining is a great book. The movie is one of the greatest of all time though.

I was actually just reading how the child actor playing Danny said Kubrick was protective of him and all I could think of was poor Duvall.

As someone with shitty sinuses, sometimes I'll pop one just to let that methnol open them back up for a few minutes.

I don't think I've ever watched this movie and not had something pop out at me. I've probably seen it a few dozen times and it still impressed me with each viewing.

Oh man, this is definitely on my if only I could erase it from my mind and watch it for the first time again list.

It lives up to basically infinite rewatches too. It's such a layered film.

Danny Lloyd is seriously one of the greatest child actors I've ever seen. The facial expressions this kid makes throughout the film. Absolutely wild.

Work has me exhausted today. I really want to just lay down on the sofa, open a beer, and put on my 4K copy of The Shinning. Unfortunately, I'm an hour away from getting off of work, and I have to go grab a beer in order to do that. 😅

Decided for a little more subdued look.

My Pokémon Legends ZA character wearing black jeans with a white zig zag stripe on the right leg, a red and white hat, a black jacket and shirt, white gloves, and pumpkaboo shoes.

Sleepy, but looking forward to kiddo's birthday this weekend.

Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up about an hour later than usual playing Pokémon and drinking old fashionds, given that I have to work tomorrow. But that's what happened. Good night friends. 😅
