well, it was certainly pithy.

I was struck by the colour of the opening credits in the shining.
They're a light blue, it looks very weird and gauche and not at all what you'd expect for a notionally horrifying and tasteful movie.
It's so strange that you figure there MUST be a good reason why he's done that.
I found it impressive, because he's not done the "tasteful" thing. He's done something bizarre. Perhaps it even contributes to that sense of unease and unreality?

Incidentally, in finding that picture I found an insanely in-depth shot by shot analysis of the shining
PS. didn't dissensus sort of start with some people who posted on a Kubrick forum?

Well put. Oh man I feel really guilty about the bullying some teachers faced from us - flicking ink on their shirts every time they turned round, constantly throwing stuff, putting them in a wicker man and burning them alive, one time someone threw someone else's pen out the window on to the roof and she made such a fuss about how it was a present and she had to go out and get it so in the end the teacher went and then someone shut the window and left him helplessly trapped on the roof.

In the 1980 horror classic, Kurkrick had used a similar mountain terrain in its scenery. Scott recalled the brilliant opening of the Jack Nicholson film and how it had employed the expert use of an overhead shot—Scott would use the same technique to end his sci-fi masterpiece.
According to Scott, he called Kubrick to discuss the issue he was facing with the ending to his film then, without thinking twice, Kubrick delivered the goods: “The next day I had seventeen hours of helicopter footage; it was stunning,” Scott once said. “So the end of the film in Blade Runner, that’s Stanley Kubrick’s footage…”
The day after, as Scott was trying to get his head around the mountain of new footage, he got a phone call: “It’s Stanley. One other thing. I know you’re going through my footage right now. If there’s anything I used, you can’t have it. Got it?”

it's sad but he won't elaborate on this. i've asked him before and he point blank refuses. it would be interesting to hear the extended directors cut of this opinion.
