it's not that complicated….it just means people get so caught up with their theories they are not even looking at the film in question any more.
simple.
edit: perhaps i should have used a comma to avoid confusion about what "ironically" refers to….i find it distinctly ironic that people who are supposedly doing a deep…

i personally think stuff like the wine level in the glass was a continuity error.
imo kubrick was looking at the actors faces and listening to their vocal inflection/timing so intently that stuff like the level of wine in the glass were not relevant.  even if he noticed them later (or his editor or continuity person,…

that might be the best thing i have ever read.  i am now off to buy that book.
edit: i have now bought that book.

i hear almost everything in herzog's voice…and it does indeed make everything more fun.  he could read the phone book and i would buy that book on tape.

you guys are knocking it out of the park with this feature….great movie this!  i wish i had not already seen it twice so i could go watch it again for the first time.

don't get me wrong…i think the fun of watching people geeking out is more about seeing how people obsess on stuff rather than having much to do with the artistry of the film.  in a way the "analysis" and the film of the shining are almost unrelated.
One thing people seem to always get hooked into is the idea that…

he does come off a bit high handedly…that said i agree with him that most of the "analysis" presented is absurd and more importantly is almost a way of UNseeing the film ironically.  the way many of these folks think about the film is the way that conspiracy theorists think about politics, the illuminati, obama as…

i read a funny piece in the times today about kubrick's assistent on the shining laughing his ass off at all the outlandish ideas in this movie:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013… will definitely see it anyway….no harm in speculative geeking out.

oh i've seen argento and fulci..the line between dream logic and film making incompetence is not just blurred but stomped into dust.  nothing wrong with that tho…especially at low budget levels where it is endearing rather than annoying.

what i like about all the phantasm movies (w the possible exception of pt 4) is that it is obvious the creator was just randomly making stuff up as he went along.  i can practically see him at the typewriter just chuckling to himself "wouldn't it be freaky if…."
most movies (even b horror) make at least a superficial…

he talks.  a lot.

exactly.  
it also does not help that every time they show his wife the first thing that comes to mind is "the killing".

also the social network was so well crafted (imo) that it's quality as a film does not depend on it's journalistic accuracy.

limp bizkit is still in existence?
hm.

i think a lot of it is that we (as a species) get a sick thrill out of seeing brutal violence and with zombies you get all of the graphic face splitting killing but none of the guilt associated with killing an actual human being with feelings, etc.

definitely no sold on this show…but seeing SPOOOOOILER
zombie merle last night was pretty satisfying.

the cliche dialog does not give me much hope.
rentariffic.

added to 50 more tracks of surround sound + doppler effect that is the sonorous whine of the pod racer…..
and lens flare.

meh-vermind.

holy moly. 
i think they used that to soften up detainees right before waterboarding.
