"BEET"

@facebook-1362402354:disqus ONE TEAM WILL BE ALL HANTZES!

I can't wait for them to discover the existence of Eddie's Disease.

I wish the person who inspired Brenda to be more "humble," and who arrived as her "loved one," was the Iron Sheik. 

Hi, there.

So that WAS Dwight! I rewound that part a bunch of times to figure out who it was. (And it WAS very funny.)

@avclub-21a24f1e826ca72cccf69f3ae3f44902:disqus That was one of those, "They say the Titantic is the safest ship ever built! NOTHING could sink it!" kind of lines.

"And as for your sister…[long pause]…we'll find out about, AFTER the commercial break."

The Iron Throne is actually Kane's sled!

"Why does it have to be 'zany'?"

@avclub-443461f22c379e8d6c249374e586581e:disqus It was Woodrow Wilson, based on the woman on Jack's left (our right) who is Wilson's daughter (or wife? I forget). The date Kubrick added to the photo (July 4, 1921) has some significance that was explained (or theorized, rather) in the Ager video.

WOODROW WILSON IS IN THE PHOTO THAT JACK APPEARS IN AT THE END OF THE SHINING

You should only take a Ricky Gervais into the bath for serious purposes.

There are also theories (okay, maybe ONE theory) that there is a cycle of violence in the family, and that in some "Danny" scenes we're actually seeing "Jack" as a child. Or something.

According to Ager, the Afro is in the same shape as the sideways "C" in the Colorado flag in the game room, that represents the bottom part of the dartboard which leads to 237, which is why Kubrick changed the room number from the number in the original novel.

As crazy as it seems at first, there is a lot of (some?) merit to that gold-standard stuff in his analysis. I mean, he's connecting some of the dots. As methodical and mercurial as Kubrick is, there is likely some reason he made those specific choices in those scenes.

And on every season of the The Bachelor it's always, "the greatest / most amazing / surprising / shocking [whatever it is they're talking about] in Bachelor history!"

Welles originally wanted to adapt Heart of Darkness (he decided to do this little film called Citizen Kane instead). Imagine how that would have turned out. (Or, in the case of post-Kane Welles, not turned out.)

I liked it, yes, but DAMN it was a very long movie — it felt like there were a few false endings. They should do a movie with Jeff Bridges playing the Fisher King Howard Stern-like character interviewing himself as Lebowski.
