I can’t wait for the ending wherein it’s revealed that the Overlook Hotel is actually a lovely, peaceful place and all the spirits want is someone to be friends with them.

If you go to the youtube page for the Nine Inch Nails video “Head Like a Hole”, you might be surprised to find a bunch of very gracious NIN fans earnestly welcoming Miley Cyrus (who sang a cover of the song in that Black Mirror episode) fans to the video and offering suggestions about what to listen to if they want to…

In related news, Courtney Love and Dave Grohl have countersued one another for possession of the check.

Isn’t one of the primary conceits of the franchise that basically everyone is involved with the system in some way?  Having an Art Bell type conspiracy theorist seems superfluous
