I read the book and saw the movie. The book is better and has much more detail of what's going on.

This is true of most book to movies.

movie was not meant to be the book - kubrick used it only as a shell

If the shining was made by anybody else but Kubrick it would have been an unwatchable flop like *most* of his other stories turned out, The Langoliers, The Stand, *The TV version of The Shining*, Sleepwalkers, Cat's Eye, The Mangler, Carrie 2002, Carrie 2o013, etc, etc.


Not all of King's stories translate into good movies, they lose quite a bit in translation, especially when translated by idiots.

I like Kubricks version way better

All the changes the Kubrick made were calculated so that he could sneak in his confession.

KDK1

This is KDK12 calling KDK1

K is the 11th letter in the alphabet

For Apollo 11

12 for L for Lunar

D for Dead

1 for A astronaut

Stanley Kubrick supposedly had an IQ of 200

I love them both, because they both equally scare the shit out of me. Also, just watched "The Mist", it was pretty good.

His movies are terrible, just TERRIBLE. There is always some cheesy aspect to them. His early books were good, till he got to that gunslinger series. All down hill from there, fuck King

I agree. Except for The Mist. that movie is kinda cool.

I always hated violent demonic movies and wont watch them. What kind of heart would even make such trash to watch?

Kubrick was one of cinema's giants; if he'd only made Space Odyssey his reputation would have been secure, but it is only one of a half-dozen works that anyone else would have called their masterpiece (Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, and of course, the Shining). King is/was much more prolific - Kubrick only directed ten major films but King turned out novel after novel, sometimes as many as three a year, for decades. Virtually every book is better than the movie by definition, but comparing movies and books is like comparing a record album and a concert, they are two different mediums, one immersive (the book and concert) and the other passive (films/audio recordings). One of the few exceptions in my experience is Random Harvest, a good book but a fantastic film - the film's greatness having more to do with entertainment (and a happy ending) than the deeper meaning of the material itself (post war trauma). As for King's greatness, I enjoyed reading his stuff when I was young (The Stand and the Talisman kept me enthralled), but it is only cotton candy, a diversion. It reads like it would make a great movie, but novel dialogue rarely sounds "right" in a movie. Elmore Leonard is similar, his books read "like a movie" but most of the films made of his books fall flat, the richness of his characters untranslatable in the visual medium. Kubrick vs. King? I'll take Stanley.

spoiler alert..its a movie

I enjoy the good acting

Jack Nicholson was amazing in The Shining

The Mist is one of his stories, that keep his vision of people turning into monsters under stress. It's more about the way the people react rather than just the gore caused by the real monsters.

I can understand why King hates Kubrick's version. The book is so much better than the movie. King called Shelly the most mysonigist character on film. She sniveled her way through most of the movie and Jack came across as a comcial character. Ha! Ha! Ha! 'Here's Johhny!' After watching it again, I had to laugh at Jack's hilarious expressions and antics.

King felt that the male protagonist was much more serious.

Oh whatever! Some of his books are the most watched and read by a large audience now. The Shaw Shank Redemption, The Stand(which seems to be a big favorite) and Carrie.

I agree with King on this one. The Shining is my favorite book of Kings and the movie was a huge disappointment.

possible interp of shining

european culture is empty without depth substance

in effort to fill void they go crazy and start killing jevvs

does it fit?

There are few movies I’ve watched 10 or 20 times the shining is 1

If Its a rainy day and it’s on I still get sucked in
