Wait… the files are IN the computer?

That tweet is literally unbelievable!

Yeah, but the lyrics.  "I'm gonna snatch that child."  He's talking about the same feeling that CaseyO has.

Especially this one

Well, I've always thought that the main thing missing from the book was lots of flashbacks to wartime.  Oh, and side trips to old-timey Manhattan.

Ants?  Don't be ridiculous.  What do you think the safety suit is for?

Exactly.  The Shining is not really the subject of the film, the subject of the film is the human desire to see patterns in everything.  Whether the theories themselves hold water is beside the point.

"Grups" had been coined by Star Trek long before NY Mag came on the scene.

Ok, but then is it perfect?

That one [edit: Ender's Game, since you're being tricky with the edits] I'd personally categorize with Catcher in the Rye and maybe some Bradbury novels where I thought it was perfect at the time I read it, but then looking back I'm not so sure it stands the test of time.  (It doesn't help that Scott Card's public…

Wow, that's not going to get old quickly.

I'm a fan of James but he can really chew the scenery at times, and I wasn't really buying his "I'm so caraaaa-zeee" monologue the whole way through.  I thought the whole setup of the town itself was a lot better at conveying his mental deterioration.

To be fair, it's all extremely vague in the comic, too, and the characters themselves don't have much idea about what's going on the larger world anyways.

Yeah, I agree, and also the editing while they were in the bar was really weird, like they kept cutting back to that one shot of the little corridor by the door or whatever and it was hard to tell where the characters were.  They did have a nice bit of instant foreshadowing with the shot of the rat coming around the…

Now that you mention it, I wonder whether the whole show will turn out to be some elaborate Scientology metaphor.

I was hoping he would turn up later at Woodbury, but nobody would let him in and he'd just stand outside the gates constantly screaming.  "HEY, LET ME IN, PLEASE!"

That shot was a lot like the last shot from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but in reverse.
