The Shining

[Corpsey]

So you admit you like the shining

 

[Corpsey]

I suppose I should watch some of these Italian horror films to better understand the mind of Oliver Craner

 

[version]

Eyes Wide Shut is more interesting than The Shining. It looks better too.

Everything after Spartacus is shit

I haven't seen many, but they're great.

The key, imo, is making sure you watch them in good quality. They lose some of their appeal if you're watching some crap VHS rip on YouTube and the colours are all dull.

Never seen Spartacus

One assumes it features big breasted dignitaries

That is true, it's the only way to truly understand them.

Probably the best film ever actually

A double bill for Idle Rich : Eyes Wide Shut and Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

'the gods genouosity know no bounds'

Average evening in a bar in Naples

 

[version]

What interests you about it?

The mysteriousness of it, both in the context of the film and in the real world. The on and off screen disintegration of the Cruise - Kidman marriage. The conspiracy angle.

I also love the way it looks. The glow of the Christmas lights. The lavish interiors.
