I don't know why they did that. In the book he did not die at all and was still around as a friend to Wendy and Danny after this was all over. He eventually just died naturally due to his age, if I remember rightly. He was in the beginning of the Doctor Sleep novel.
I also really enjoyed that the sequel. It explained Dannys ability more and made me appreciate this more. Great reaction Devin ❤ hope you watch the next one
RIP Shelley Duvall... she was supposedly getting back into acting after not acting for some years and now we've lost her all over again. Kubrick tortured her during the filming of this movie.
I don't think it's fair to say Kurbrick "tortured" her. He was a perfectionist and required an absurd amount of takes from his actors, resulting in a lot of frustration. It was actually Scatman Crothers who got the worst of it when he had to do 148 takes of explaining "shining" to Danny, but saying Kubrick "tortured" anyone seems a bit rage-baity and is quite a stretch IMO.
@@brockhampton3078 Excuse you, psycho? He made her repeat the baseball bat scene over 100 times. Her hair was literally falling out from the stress. She lost weight from not eating due to the stress. He bullied her daily, told all the others actors to ignore her. Told Jack to take his full psycho out on her. She literally required medical treatment from the ulcers he gave her do to the stress. SHAME ON YOU for sticking up for that scumbag! And SHAME ON YOU forv saying it wasn't torture when it literally was. You're VILE and DISGUSTING!
You have to look at the Overlook Hotel as an entity, one that feeds off psychic energy. Danny even as a child is a powerful psychic and the hotel wants to feed off his energy. The longer he stays, the ghosts become more alive and the hotel becomes stronger. In the book Jack has limited psychic abilities but doesn't know it. That's how the hotel worked its way into Jack's head. When Holleran was killed, the hotel fed off his psychic power, making the ghost become more alive to the point that Wendy could see them. I wouldn't call Wendy stupid, but a victim of abuse. She's obviously suffers verbal abuse from Jack for who knows how long and she was probably brought up in an abusive household to the point that she considers this life "normal".
I also read this book once about 30 years ago and I think your explanation of the hotel was good. But I think basically everything about the verbal abuse is just BS just like the whole term is a load of crap. If you think about verbal abuse it's always subjective except sometimes death threats and similar things when they are done extremely aggressive tone which pushes all the subjectivity away and it's clearly objective. When something is almost always subjective you can't put it under abuse column. Otherwise anything and everything can be abusive and that's why we don't need to only ignore this craziness but we need to fight against it. Abuse always needs a use of force or a very clear threat of using it. Every other kind of abuse is subjective which means it's not really an abuse at all. If you don't want to be with someone because of how they treat you you don't have to but it doesn't give you the right to invent new types of an abuse that are totally subjective and therefore nonexistent.
@Juide80 Directed at no one in particular: if you don’t like your behavior labeled as abusive, change your behavior not the definitions of abuse. Likewise if you have never been in an abusive relationship and are completely ignorant of what that entails, pipe down.

I just learned Shelly Duvall had past away this year. a year ago I remember she was being interviewed by a TH-camr talking about her new film back in 2023. she was very casual looking , sitting in her truck laughing, smiling reminiscing with this guy, and his girlfriend came up and told her that she grew up on her fairytale hour series and had the rare DVD collection on her which Shelly autographed. she was very pumped up and excited about the new film.
Well the explanation for the picture is the nature of MANY King monsters/settings-- a living timewarp that devours souls and can regurgitate them as it's puppets/parts of itself at will. The same is true for Christine in the novel-- the car exists in all decades it's existed within SIMULTANEOUSLY, with every life it's taken always riding along in the back seat for all eternity. The forms and the faces change and warp and melt together-- but every one is now simply another appendage of the car's evil force, there to feed it with their suffering and do it's bidding.
@@DevinGtv901 Here's some info on this movie. Stanley Kubrick was an SOB! He literally tortured Ms. Duvall for this movie. He told other actors to ignore her. He also isolated her. He constantly bullied her, told her she was a shiz actress. Attacked everything about her. He also told Jack to seriously lay it on her, with his psycho act. She was going bald from the stress, she also lost weight because Stanley would intentionally stress her out to the point she couldn't eat. On top of that, he forced her to repeat the baseball bat scene and had her redue it the same day. Over and over and over. (over 100 times) Until he got the scene he wanted. Her crying, the fear in her face, how she is wildly swinging the bat. NONE of it was acting. It was 100% legit fear and trauma. That's why this movie is so disturbing. He falt out used torture methods to get to her be literally afraid of her own shadow. That's why you can see how she slowly breaks down in this movie. The hysteria was very real.
@@misterbobby8913 you really read too much into stuff timing to react to the movie to honor her legacy next time use your brain that's what you have one
RIP Shelley 😢 Sad to hear of her passing. She also created and hosted the old 1980's show....Fairytale Theater, which had a lot of big name celebrities perform these character roles. She was great.
His life became merged with the cursed hotel's past. He became the caretaker. Or perhaps he was the caretaker, reincarnated. The movie is up for interpretation. It might differ from the book no doubt. The movie was based on the Ahwanee Hotel, at the Yosemite National Park in California. The photo at the end is from the 1920s from a picture library according to some articles with the guy at the front swapped out, possibly the manager. I'm not sure if it's from the same hotel. They did a mock up of the Ahwanee hotel and recorded the interior in England at a film studio
The ahwanee hotel is actually a great place to stay though. And they make great hot chocolate. Cause they open during the winter. It's actually magical, I highly recommend you save up for a visit
The book is based on the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado,not the Ahwanee Hotel. The exterior shots are of Timberline Lodge in Glacier National Park in Oregon. The interiors were based on the Ahwanee Hotel, and constructed in Elstree Studios in England. Jack was always the caretaker. Delbert Grady said so. (You’ve always been the caretaker.) He was the reincarnation of the caretaker from 1921.
@@Parallax-3D No doubt the hotel interior looks very different now. King interviewed said he was always the caretaker, but he was leaning on the idea that the character was trapped in hell.He liked the hotel set and Jack Nicholson, but he felt it to be different from the book. Nicholson's character is less sympathetic in the movie. King wasn't involved with the movie. Kubrick's vision of the movie was left deliberately up for interpretation with the photograph, as he leaves things open in other movies too. He didn't agree completely with King's version. When asked by King, Kubrick said he didn't believe in hell. That the character is in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Which gives the impression Kubrick might not be a big fan of elements of organised belief. Both believe the character was trapped in a different way, so the rest is up to the viewer, whether you prefer the movie to the book perhaps might help
It's not so much about jump scare horror, it's the creepy unsettling factor that puts this movie into one of the top of its genre. Also R.I.P. Shelly Duvall.
In the scene with Lloyd the bartender, some dialog conflicts with earlier dialog. This can probably be explained by script revisions and scenes that were deleted. Early in the film, Wendy mentions that Jack injured Danny AND stopped drinking five months ago. Later, Jack's dialog with Lloyd the bartender confirms that it has been five months since Jack had a drink. However, Jack goes on to say that the injury to Danny occurred 3 years earlier. I think this can be traced back to the book. In the original novel, Jack did not stop drinking after injuring Danny. Rather Jack stopped drinking much later after Jack apparently kills a pedestrian one night while driving home drunk. However, after the accident, there is no sign of the pedestrian's body. It's like they vanished into thin air. It's this apparent close call that compels Jack to swear off drinking.
One of my top 5 all time movies ever. Easily my favorite kubrick film but its the different theories and the ending leaving you with questions that you cant answer that make it so brilliant.
I absolutely love the shining (this one is so much better than Stephen King's TV version originally). But you also need to watch IT, old with Tim Curry and the newer Part 1 and Part 2!
Fun fact the door used with the axe scene was supposed to be a fake door but they had to use a real one because Jack Nicholson, who used to be a volunteer firefighter kept breaking the fake door too easily.
While this movie was a masterpiece of horror, it wasn't a faithful adaptation of King's book. Jack and Wendy were way more likeable in the book compared to here. Harrison Ford and Robin Williams were considered for the role of Jack. If you look at the original cover of the book, Jack looks just like Ford, lol.
@@DevinGtv901there was also a mini series starring Rebecca de morney as Wendy and Steven Weber as Jack and Melvin van peebles as Dick Holleren. The miniseries was closer to the novel and it gave you a bit of back story on Jacks childhood through flashbacks also I suggest you watch doctor sleep that follows Dannys life after the events of the shining.
In the book: the animal hedges come to life to protect the hotel - the cook gets his teeth knocked out with a croquet mallet - jack breaks Wendy's back with the croquet mallet & and when it comes time to kill Danny, Jack can't do it. So he bashes his own brains in with the mallet. The hotel oiler boiler gives & the hotel explodes .
A lot of Stephen King books are normally connected. Jack and what happened at the Overlook is mentioned in Misery and Dick Halloran is mentioned in It. Joe Hill, Kings son, actually connected his book, N0S4A2, with Derry from It as well. I believe if memory serves me correctly, Cujo is mentioned in Pet Semetery too. It's been a while since I have read those books. It's super cool. Also Dick survives in the book and becomes a Father figure to Danny. He has a big part in Doctor Sleep and helps Danny as an adult throughout it. Please watch Doctor Sleep! Kubrick confirmed the end was a cycle of reincarnation. Evil reincarnation.
24:08 I appreciate you not censoring the ‘n’ word. It is shocking. We all know it’s wrong, but to stick our heads in the sand and pretend they didn’t say it is also wrong. As bad as it sounds, that’s historically how that conversation would’ve gone down. Our job is to see how inappropriate it was, learn from our mistakes and grow together as a society.
Well said. I've always assumed Grady used that word because he represents the evil spirit of the hotel. In the book the hotel sends several crude, violent messages into Jack's and Danny's minds. At one point when Danny is trying to connect to Jack telepathically to find out what's up with him, the hotel screams back "GET OUT OF HIS HEAD YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Yanking a young kid's arm can result in a bone disconnection, its called "Nursemaid's elbow". They said "dislocation" in the movie but even in a real world scenario someone might call "subluxation" (Nursemaid's Elbow) a "type of dislocation" just so that people understand it more clearly and easily. If it was actually nursemaid's elbow its just that the bones aren't sufficiently connected yet via the ligaments and were briefly pulled part; its a weak point. I personally think that's how he hurt Danny's arm while he was drunk as was revealed early in the movie. Its not necessarily a sign of excessive force or roughness but could easily scare a drunk into going sober as most people are shocked by it when it happens. The amount of force to actually dislocate Danny's arm merely via yanking it would've been a LOT.
The bar scene is great because: No I think the drinking was in his head, but it seemed real. And his "drunk talk" is really his true feelings spilling out.
You’ve seen Larry before-the man who sets up Mr Halloran with the snow cap. Larry was Apollo Creed’s trainer in Rocky. And Rest in Peace Shelley Duvall. AKA Mrs Torrance. She just passed way 3 days ago as of this writing.
The overlook gathers people who shine. That is why the twins are there, that is why Danny is there and the cook is there. Danny is a special kind of psychic, he can talk to the dead. The overlook is brimming with psychic energy, like a giant transmitter... what is it building up to? Danny is scared out of his mind... Tony cannot use the shining. The whole family was failing sanity checks! x)
"Why didn't she leave him a long time ago?" This is the eternal question people ask victims of spousal abuse. And we never get answers that satisfy us, because the reality is unfortunately quite complicated. Especially to those of us who don't tolerate being treated badly for even one minute, it seems so obvious, but based on centuries of human history, apparently not.
Ok, The Abyss is a mildly spooky sci-fi film, and The Shining is one of the scariest films I've ever seen, and I've seen over 800 horror movies in my life according to my stats. Not even apples and oranges, that's like apples and bananas, man :D Love the movie ^_^
Notice the 4th of July ball photo at the end doesn't show any evidence of 4th of July celebrations. The audience are forced to focus on Jack, but Kubrick pans out to the undecorated room several times showing lack of bunting or signs marking the day. Something happened in 1921 that needs explanation. It might be the one clue nearly everyone completely misses.
Some children do have imaginary friends that aren't imaginary, what they are is spirits of dead relatives or a dead stranger that has latched onto that child.
I was at that hotel last year in August. Didn’t stay there though, expensive af, but I was close. Smoked a joint one night sitting outside and got up and turned a corner and collided with a black bear. Poor guy was scared more than me, jumped back, fell down and took off through the bushes. I was just standing there like “damn..”. Good times, I gotta go back to Estes Park, nice little town.
Even though it took him years to admit it, Stephen King finally said this movie is masterful horror and suspense. It simply isn't the original book--it was merely inspired by it. And I can understand why King was so disdainful for so long about it, as the novel was extremely personal for him. But there is no denying that, even though it is very much NOTHING like the novel, it is SO GOOD. I put it up there with Apocalypse Now for adaptations--very loose with it, and therefore crafting something very different and absolutely incredible.
Great movie!!!! RIP Shelley Duvall….she was great in this…Jack Nicholson is so malevolent & wild in this…HEERRRRRRES JOHNNY!!!!….try reacting to the sequel, “Dr. Sleep”…it is a majorly awesome movie that lives up to the original 😱
I wanted Wendy to tag me in badly and give me the bat. There's so way, if I had a weapon, you are backing me up the stairs. I'm standing firm and swinging to hit if you get too close. Oh, and that typewriter would have been on the floor when he talked to me crazy the first time. I'm offering to bring you sandwiches and a little small talk and you have the nerve to curse me out. Whew, this movie stresses me out, but I love it. RIP Shelley Duvall, she did great because Wendy looked petrified. Danny was lowkey smarter than both his parents. This movie never gets old.
You are legit the first reactor I’ve seen to realize at the very end (with the old 1921 photograph) that the old haunted hotel has now added Jack’s new soul.
RIP Shelly. That being said, Heeeere's Johnny! I know King hated it for how it changed his book, but this is easily one of the top 3 scariest King movies.
This movie is in the top classics of horror movies for sure..not many horror films with extra sensory perception as the main subject in the story.. and the fact that other types of horror subject matter is in the movie ( the crazy axe murderer/slasher theme)( the evil ghosts theme) . makes this movie even better ..in my opinion anyway ..You should check out " " Dreamscape " for a horror about people going into other people's dreams..and "Carrie " ( another classic ) for a horror about telekinesis. " An American Werewolf In London " is a good horror for a classic monster type of horror character..in my opinion. Check out " Fire In The Sky " for a good Alien UFO story.." The Thing " is a classic alien horror also..though very gory.
Shelly is smoking Benson & Hedges, I'd know that gold pack with the red stripe anywhere cause I used to smoke 'em... haven't seen those since the 90s lol ❤
The director, Stanley Kubrick, was NUTS about tiny details. In a black and white filmed movie, he insisted on things being certain colors. In this film, he insisted that every single one of the pages in the stack said, "All work and no play makes Jack a dul boy". All 500 pages. Not only that, it had to be written like a novel, with paragraph breaks and everything. But it doesn't stop there. Kubrick insisted that each language release had a different phrase typed out in that language. This was done by his secretary. Thousands of pages for a scene where only a few would be visible.
Many times seeing this movie and it's the first time I noticed Jack doesn't have a fork for his eggs. Eating fried eggs with fingers. Now _that_ is scary.
Devin, have you seen the Clint Eastwood film "In the Line of Duty"? In light of recent events (assassination attempt) it would be very timely. If you haven't seen it, it would be a great reaction piece. Clint Eastwood & John Malkovich crush their roles.
RIP, Shelley Duvall, 1949-2024.

Oh what!? What did she die of?
@@NickThorbjørnsen2207 She died in her sleep of complications from diabetes, she was 75. RIP

Dick Halloran saved Wendy and Danny's life by distracting Jack long enough for Wendy to get out of the bathroom.
Plus with Dick coming to save them they now had the SnowCat to escape in.

Never thought I'd laugh at the Shining, but am loving this. Jack needed some gottdamn fresh air for sure! LOL
While this movie was a masterpiece of horror, it wasn't a faithful adaptation of King's book. Jack and Wendy were way more likeable in the book compared to here. Harrison Ford and Robin Williams were considered for the role of Jack. If you look at the original cover of the book, Jack looks just like Ford, lol.
I believe Jack did a perfect job. I couldn’t anyone doing it better
@@DevinGtv901 No arguments there.
@@DevinGtv901there was also a mini series starring Rebecca de morney as Wendy and Steven Weber as Jack and Melvin van peebles as Dick Holleren. The miniseries was closer to the novel and it gave you a bit of back story on Jacks childhood through flashbacks also I suggest you watch doctor sleep that follows Dannys life after the events of the shining.
“Chef! Get it right m’fer! He runs everything!!!”
You’re the greatest!!!😂😂
Great reaction
Rip Shelly and Scatman Crothers
In the book: the animal hedges come to life to protect the hotel - the cook gets his teeth knocked out with a croquet mallet - jack breaks Wendy's back with the croquet mallet & and when it comes time to kill Danny, Jack can't do it. So he bashes his own brains in with the mallet. The hotel oiler boiler gives & the hotel explodes .
A lot of Stephen King books are normally connected. Jack and what happened at the Overlook is mentioned in Misery and Dick Halloran is mentioned in It. Joe Hill, Kings son, actually connected his book, N0S4A2, with Derry from It as well. I believe if memory serves me correctly, Cujo is mentioned in Pet Semetery too. It's been a while since I have read those books. It's super cool.
Also Dick survives in the book and becomes a Father figure to Danny. He has a big part in Doctor Sleep and helps Danny as an adult throughout it. Please watch Doctor Sleep!
Kubrick confirmed the end was a cycle of reincarnation. Evil reincarnation.
24:08 I appreciate you not censoring the ‘n’ word. It is shocking. We all know it’s wrong, but to stick our heads in the sand and pretend they didn’t say it is also wrong. As bad as it sounds, that’s historically how that conversation would’ve gone down. Our job is to see how inappropriate it was, learn from our mistakes and grow together as a society.
Well said. I've always assumed Grady used that word because he represents the evil spirit of the hotel. In the book the hotel sends several crude, violent messages into Jack's and Danny's minds. At one point when Danny is trying to connect to Jack telepathically to find out what's up with him, the hotel screams back "GET OUT OF HIS HEAD YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Yanking a young kid's arm can result in a bone disconnection, its called "Nursemaid's elbow". They said "dislocation" in the movie but even in a real world scenario someone might call "subluxation" (Nursemaid's Elbow) a "type of dislocation" just so that people understand it more clearly and easily. If it was actually nursemaid's elbow its just that the bones aren't sufficiently connected yet via the ligaments and were briefly pulled part; its a weak point. I personally think that's how he hurt Danny's arm while he was drunk as was revealed early in the movie. Its not necessarily a sign of excessive force or roughness but could easily scare a drunk into going sober as most people are shocked by it when it happens. The amount of force to actually dislocate Danny's arm merely via yanking it would've been a LOT.
Watch Doctor Sleep as soon as you can! There are so many subtle references to the original you will catch with it fresh in your mind.
The bar scene is great because: No I think the drinking was in his head, but it seemed real. And his "drunk talk" is really his true feelings spilling out.
Danny was saying Redrum, that's murder spelled backwards
You’ve seen Larry before-the man who sets up Mr Halloran with the snow cap. Larry was Apollo Creed’s trainer in Rocky.
And Rest in Peace Shelley Duvall. AKA Mrs Torrance. She just passed way 3 days ago as of this writing.
The overlook gathers people who shine. That is why the twins are there, that is why Danny is there and the cook is there. Danny is a special kind of psychic, he can talk to the dead. The overlook is brimming with psychic energy, like a giant transmitter... what is it building up to?
Danny is scared out of his mind... Tony cannot use the shining. The whole family was failing sanity checks! x)
This movie is my favorite to watch in the winter when it rains it's a slow burn to madness
"Why didn't she leave him a long time ago?" This is the eternal question people ask victims of spousal abuse. And we never get answers that satisfy us, because the reality is unfortunately quite complicated. Especially to those of us who don't tolerate being treated badly for even one minute, it seems so obvious, but based on centuries of human history, apparently not.
That issue between them was explored more deeply by the book, events before they arrived at the hotel.
The Conjuring 2
I’ll add that! The first one was scary asf 😂😂
I like the 2nd one a bit more actually! Excited for this!
Also now you have to watch Key and Peele's skit "continental" 😆
The sequel of this movie is amazing, and explains a lot better what happened in the first movie.
There’s an entire documentary about symbolism in this movie .
Ok, The Abyss is a mildly spooky sci-fi film, and The Shining is one of the scariest films I've ever seen, and I've seen over 800 horror movies in my life according to my stats. Not even apples and oranges, that's like apples and bananas, man :D
Love the movie ^_^
I honestly thought you picked it because Shelley Duvall just passed away. I'm glad you picked it regardless. It's a classic.
Notice the 4th of July ball photo at the end doesn't show any evidence of 4th of July celebrations. The audience are forced to focus on Jack, but Kubrick pans out to the undecorated room several times showing lack of bunting or signs marking the day. Something happened in 1921 that needs explanation. It might be the one clue nearly everyone completely misses.
Some children do have imaginary friends that aren't imaginary, what they are is spirits of dead relatives or a dead stranger that has latched onto that child.
One of my favorite books ever. ❤ Shelley Duvall 😢
The first time i saw this, when Grady says the N word, the entire audience gasped
i started laughing 😭 it was so unexpected
I'm so glad you picked this one!!!
23:37 i don't think she's stupid, just in shock and trying to figure all this shit out
A masterpiece in filmmaking. ❤
Great Philosophy, my friend, you are exactly right...my teenage son is 15.He's always done the opposite of what i've said
I was at that hotel last year in August. Didn’t stay there though, expensive af, but I was close. Smoked a joint one night sitting outside and got up and turned a corner and collided with a black bear. Poor guy was scared more than me, jumped back, fell down and took off through the bushes. I was just standing there like “damn..”. Good times, I gotta go back to Estes Park, nice little town.
Even though it took him years to admit it, Stephen King finally said this movie is masterful horror and suspense. It simply isn't the original book--it was merely inspired by it. And I can understand why King was so disdainful for so long about it, as the novel was extremely personal for him. But there is no denying that, even though it is very much NOTHING like the novel, it is SO GOOD. I put it up there with Apocalypse Now for adaptations--very loose with it, and therefore crafting something very different and absolutely incredible.
Wow, what perfect timing you have watching this the day Shelley Duval passed
Great movie!!!! RIP Shelley Duvall….she was great in this…Jack Nicholson is so malevolent & wild in this…HEERRRRRRES JOHNNY!!!!….try reacting to the sequel, “Dr. Sleep”…it is a majorly awesome movie that lives up to the original 😱
REDRUM!!! Oh my this movie gives me chills! How much did this effect you? Watching you watch this is amazing!
Now watch the sequel, Dr. Sleep. It’s about a grownup Danny and is really good.
So when Jack is talking to Grady in the men's room,and Grady tells Jack that he's always been the caretaker...who-or what-is Jack REALLY talking to? 😬
Broken Blossoms. The bathroom scene is based on a 100 year old film
Thanks for reacting to my favourite horror movie.
You were entertaining and lovely as always, my man.
RIP Dear Shelley ❤️🥂
Abyss v. Shining .... well, however it goes, you chose correctly!
I wanted Wendy to tag me in badly and give me the bat. There's so way, if I had a weapon, you are backing me up the stairs. I'm standing firm and swinging to hit if you get too close. Oh, and that typewriter would have been on the floor when he talked to me crazy the first time. I'm offering to bring you sandwiches and a little small talk and you have the nerve to curse me out. Whew, this movie stresses me out, but I love it. RIP Shelley Duvall, she did great because Wendy looked petrified. Danny was lowkey smarter than both his parents. This movie never gets old.
This is a real place in America.
You are legit the first reactor I’ve seen to realize at the very end (with the old 1921 photograph) that the old haunted hotel has now added Jack’s new soul.
I think the other interpretation is that Jack in the reincarnation of the previous caretaker, and he’s repeating the same murders again and again.
RIP Shelly.
That being said, Heeeere's Johnny!
I know King hated it for how it changed his book, but this is easily one of the top 3 scariest King movies.
King decided to make his own movie, but it sucked compared to the one he hated.
This movie is in the top classics of horror movies for sure..not many horror films with extra sensory perception as the main subject in the story.. and the fact that other types of horror subject matter is in the movie ( the crazy axe murderer/slasher theme)( the evil ghosts theme) . makes this movie even better ..in my opinion anyway ..You should check out " " Dreamscape " for a horror about people going into other people's dreams..and "Carrie " ( another classic ) for a horror about telekinesis. " An American Werewolf In London " is a good horror for a classic monster type of horror character..in my opinion. Check out " Fire In The Sky " for a good Alien UFO story.." The Thing " is a classic alien horror also..though very gory.
This is a great film. Thank you for the reaction, I'm a new sub. Rest in peace, Shelley Duvall.
This about to be good💜💜
You know it!! Appreciate you coming
Rest in peace Shelly❤
Shelly is smoking Benson & Hedges, I'd know that gold pack with the red stripe anywhere cause I used to smoke 'em... haven't seen those since the 90s lol ❤
You gotta check out Dr. Sleep now
If you think about it, a tragedy has happened everywhere at some point on this grand green Earth. Everything is haunted.
24:00 feel bad but had to laugh out loud. Great reaction!
In the book, Jack has worse problems, but is also far more redeemable. It is implied that "Tony" is Danny from the future...read/watch Dr. Sleep next
Next you gotta watch Doctor Sleep
The director, Stanley Kubrick, was NUTS about tiny details. In a black and white filmed movie, he insisted on things being certain colors. In this film, he insisted that every single one of the pages in the stack said, "All work and no play makes Jack a dul boy". All 500 pages. Not only that, it had to be written like a novel, with paragraph breaks and everything. But it doesn't stop there. Kubrick insisted that each language release had a different phrase typed out in that language. This was done by his secretary. Thousands of pages for a scene where only a few would be visible.
Great reaction! 😂
RIP Winnifred Torrance. 😢😢😢
Yeah the hotel took his soul along with all the other people who stayed there. Dope reaction bro.
This really makes me miss Shelley and Scatman
Many times seeing this movie and it's the first time I noticed Jack doesn't have a fork for his eggs. Eating fried eggs with fingers. Now _that_ is scary.
Now you get to see Dr.sleep!!! Yup,yup
Such a classic. This movie isn’t so much scary as it is creepy. Love the channel sir.
Devin, have you seen the Clint Eastwood film "In the Line of Duty"? In light of recent events (assassination attempt) it would be very timely. If you haven't seen it, it would be a great reaction piece. Clint Eastwood & John Malkovich crush their roles.
Now watch the sequel-Doctor Sleep. You will not be disappointed. Ewan McGregor does a brilliant job.
I highly recommend the sequel to this movie, Doctor Sleep 👊
Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in.
Devin saying EVERYTHING except redum, haha.
