The bloating might never leave your face, but beneath it -- you still have some years. You still have some hope.

I feel ill when thinking about being overweight.

Wrote about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). If you like it, please share it.

If you feel like directly supporting things that are made by real humans with love & care—with no ads, hot takes, or AI—a reminder that we're still dealing with the effects of this, and that literally every subscription gets us that much closer to ensuring we can keep doing this for awhile!

One film that I will allow the label of "intentional camp" is The Shining. It IS silly and goofy but in a way Kubrick is totally in control of and it enhances the terror, not subverting it.

YOU - I don't think anyone's being promiscuous with me. I wish they were, though.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover is for high art what Pulp Fiction is for low art: a perfectly sealed pastische. There's no meaning outside of its own images.

Nicholson's eyebrows might be the best actor in The Shining.

What made late 70s-early 80s Harrison Ford special was being the OG character actor in a leading man's body. Then Blade Runner broke him, making him a more standard hero actor.

Tror svenska skidåkare i för liten utsträckning drivs av skam och självhat tyvärr, det inte folkhälsa vi håller på med här

Kanske fel att sätta såna etiketter på så gamla personer, men uppfattar, utifrån Herman Lindqvists beskrivning, som en progressiv kraft i svensk historia.

I'm not convinced George Lucas ever was a commercial filmmaker.

“Everyone has their own method of coping, some more effective, or self-destructive, than others...” He gives you a meaningful look.

It feels very belittling to say The Shining is about toxic masculinity, but tbh it really is.

What I find scary about The Shining movie is Jack's insecurities leading him into destruction. I suppose that's a very male-centric analysis, since it's about me projecting myself into Jack, but it's also how I react to the film.

I'm not sure I think Jack is insane from the start of the The Shining movie. He's deeply disturbed, unhappy, frustrated in his career, marriage and as a father.

I like how Jack's typewriter gets a horror sting Edit.

Re-watching The Shining.

I got my autism diagnosis a few days ago.

Kubrick makes films about people losing control. Ingmar Bergman about people having already lost it.

Something Mamdani is brilliant at is forcing people (and especially the media) to focus on him.

Sigmund Freud was a priset magician.

Maybe i'm cranky but I do believe it was enough with two Toy Storys.

You and me, Harrier.

I despise the 'you can believe in magic but not x in your fantasy story of choice' take. It's intellectual babytalk.

If we look beyond specific takes and analysis of daily affairs, the Chapo boys are deeply moralistic.

As a critic you get attacked with a particular hostility that people reserve for critics, because they think of them as parasites. (1994)

My favourite Scorsese films are Silence and The Age of Innocence.

Up until the 2000s, italians were the stand-in for the american experience in US cinema.

DOLORES DEI - We don't have anything to talk about anymore. Every combination of words has been played out. The atoms don't form us anymore: us, our love, our unborn daughters...

While I'm sure Kubrick knew about the secret pedo parties in New York, I think it's somewhat lessening what Eyes Wide Shut is to say it's just about that. I'd argue the sex party in it is almost a red herring.

Keir Duella, who plays David Bowman in 2001: A Space Odyssey, is still alive. 89 years!

I think thinking Moses was real or the story of his life as portrayed in the Old Testament being real is very very silly. It's so obviously mythology just from reading it.

While I'm not against space exploration, per se, how it's defined today it's a tool for the capitalist class to consume more, and leave a dying earth behind.

INLAND EMPIRE - It's all gone now. You never became a poet or an entroponaut.

Gustav Vasas absolut mest viktiga dåd var att se till att Sverige aldrig haft en Kung Sören.
