Kubrick made it all his own...it stopped being King's Shining the moment Kubrick's Jack Nicholson alienated Torrance from the audiences.

Granted, the descent into madness was portrayed brilliantly, but we felt one with the character of the book, not the movie.

And of course, the Overlook and its scares werent so scary in the first place. There wasnt much creepiness in it, cept for what Nicholson showed on-screen. All being said, Kubrick made one hell of a movie adaptation, and Nicholson's portrayal still stands as one of the best performances so far.

Excellent...this is getting better and better as we go along...

Speaking of bipolarity, why do many of you feel no love for


Land of the Dead

Bring on your bashings!!
