RE your point 1: for the BBC they specifically can’t, several years back the BBC introduced a policy that banned any programme from having an all male cast/production team.

Great post. Was about to write something similar myself until I read your post. My take is The Shining is truly terrifying to people who’ve witnessed psychotic illness up close and personal. Also, and to a lesser extent people who have claustrophobia. Both boxes ticked for me so this film is possibly the most…

My dad’s breakdown was precipitated with a dinner table monologue that in any other context was probably hilarious. The screaming and violence followed. Saw SHINING two years later and it’s always stuck deep for me.

That’s an interesting take on in. The Shining is the scariest movie ever to me, but my own father struggled with mental illness until he was eventually involuntarily committed.

For all his tantrums, for all the violence, for all the torture he put my family through, his insanity eventually only destroyed him.

Taken out…

About that study...

They’re processing the onboard footage now, so I’ll post HTF soon!!!

Life must be great when your parents can buy you a career.

I’m not excusing anything, but I really believe Depp has never overcome a very bad alcohol problem, and has just been a functioning alcoholic for years. My grandmother was exactly like this....if she didn’t drink, or drank too much, two things would happen. She’d either lock herself in the room in a depression she…

Ok, you guys convinced me. I still miss the Hamon, but I'll admit Stands allow for more absurdity and experimentation. And sorry for forgetting Polnareff. 

It was censored on CR when the simulcast was on, maybe they updated with the uncensored version when the Blu-rays were released.

I think only poo and privates are censored on the English dub on Toonami/Adultswim. The smoking and bloody scenes weren’t.

Pretty hype. The censoring has been grody in the previous parts, but I’ll just have to wait for the (more or less) uncensored blu-ray releases.

Yes exactly. It seems obvious the “stain” was the fact that in reality William is a fucking psycho. They collected data on all the guests and as he said looked deep into their cores to see who they really were, and his reading came up dangerous paranoid delusional psycho. And now his paranoia and delusions caused him…

As good as that episode was...it kind of missed the entire boat as Paper Boi is a hip hop artist and hip hop is a genre built on appropriating other music to create new music. A hip hop artist that samples getting mad at someone for covering their music is peak hypocrisy.

yea it’s also in that voice: that homogenized white girl “soulful” voice while playing the same two chords on acoustic

I doubt she’s seen very much, at *all.* She makes my stomach turn slightly, because I just know she’s going to be genuinely surprised that there are people out there who won’t like what she’s done AND agree that women have been historically marginalized in our society. Nobody’s shooting up women’s bible study groups…
