Why must we live with normies

You're just as bad

Why did Stanley Kubrick fucking ruin this movie with his stupid shit?

Keep in mind this was before Jack made a caricature of himself. His performance was totally in line with what the role needed. He started off very understated and ramped up the insanity as the movie went along. This was before Jack's acting became "Jack doing Jack".

It's actually a hell of an acting job. If you weren't 12 you would realize that.

This literally didn't happen by the way.

Totally. It got laughed at because it was fucking laughable and just a rubbish performance. If Jack Nicholson wasn't cast as originally intended, The Shining would be literally be 10.0.

How Kubrick let this slide is beyond me. The one blemish on his career was letting Nicholson get away with this meme performance.

of course not. barely any of my normie friends know shit beyond your basic blockbuster flick

>ITT OP is 12 and he cringes at everything
>OP doesn't understand the concept of performing
>uses the word normies to belittle his """"friends""'" while making himself out to be some grand master of kino
that about right?

>going to the cinema at a normie time
james holmes was right

but you should only go to weekday matinees in the city

only other people in the theatre are maybe two old guys by themselves or two guys in suits skipping some meeting

It as allegory for the moonlanding being fake

>midnight is now a normie time

saw it ten days ago at a 7PM screening, there was a certain amount of "appreciative" laughter throughout

>watching films with normals

>Mfw the whole audience erupted into laughter when the "nigger cook" line came on

I have to stop visiting drumpfkin kinoe

please

Cause Kubrick is a purely visual director who can't into story and didn't understand that The Shining was about a child realizing his parents are imperfect beings like himself and loving them anyways.

Kubrick's the Shining is far superior to the Stephen King version in so many ways.

There was a guy who "gasped" when this line came up in my theater.

you mean americans

I am someone who isn't a fan of Nicholson being cast as the Joker in the 1989 Batman movie BUT Nicholson in every single way was 100% perfect for Kubrick's the Shining adaption.

It is one of those very crazy bizarre performances that you just rarely never saw in the 80s (especially the main character who is trying to kill his wife and son).

I like the shot when he's walking down the hallway, throwing his arms into the air and looking real pissed.

Most horror fans are huge plebs who just want to be jump scared and don't want to think.

>He prefers Stephen King's the Shining
Go and watch this mini series which was made and approved by Stephen King himself.

It is very bland and mediocore compared to the Kubrick version which is actually "creepy" and disturbing.

only if you're a pleb

>CGI hedge animals are more scarier than a maze
If you seriously defend this you have such shit taste

...

Never saw it. The hedge animals would never work in a movie. The book is far superior than Kubrick's crap adaption. Emperors new clothes much?

That laughable Shining miniseries had the ugliest child actor I've ever seen. He looked like he had been crossed with a woodchuck.

...

>tfw my hairline is going to be nicholson's from this in around 2 years

Stephen King is a fucking awful writer and there's a reason why The Shining is the only thing of note to ever come out of him. It's because someone with a brain took the source material's basic premise and made it their own.

same

I went to an almost sold out show and people only reacted to being unsettled, the redrum part specifically. Surprisingly there was only a soft clapping at the end. Overall great experience. I had just seen the original Halloween and Friday the 13th in a drive in the other day with my friend and his sister. Really loving these resurgence of classics in theaters nowadays
