What he said

Ive been meaning to check out the newer version, but I just never bother with it. Liked the book and would be kinda interested in seeing how a more faithful adaption works...I dont know, it just doesnt really look that great.

I was never a big fan of the original film. It's okay, but to me it's not the classic everyone else thinks it is. To each their own. I liked the remake a whole lot more.

Its Kubrick for me too. I've seen the conclusion of the '97 version and to me the acting seemed forced. That's why Nicholson was such a great man for the role... he didn't have to act:D .

Everyone thinks i'm crazy!
I haven't seen every second of the 1980 version, but I found it kind of...boring.
Maybe i wasn't paying enough attention.
Who are you and what have you done with an actual human being?
