It is not.
2001: A Space Oddity
Paths of Glory
Dr. Strangelove*
Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket

FTFY

I would put Barry Lyndon above Full Metal Jacket.
Full Metal Jacket is grossly over-rated.

[Carson]

Jayne not very bright lesbian. Lesbians not very bright anyway. Jayne argue with shit trolls. Not bright. Jayne WEAK.

Not STRONG like TONTO.

Jayne talk to herself lot. People never listen to Jayne. So Jayne talk to shit trolls and make her feel better. Jayne WEAK.

Jayne need be STRONG like TONTO and ignore shit trolls.

poptart is TONTO????

Now I'm depressed...

Hold up...I thought we CC'ed you on this, Carson?
Damn it. I told the IT guys this software upgrade would have "hiccups"...
Fucking nerds. Everything is an algorithm to those dorks. :x

FMJ is better (than Paths or BL) because the first half is so good. I don’t care that the ending sucks when I watch it, I’m just enjoying the high.
The rest of my list is a cold calculated look at his movies, I’m in capable of doing that with FMJ, so it stays where it is.

So, King has an opinion just as you have yours. So what? Who cares?

Once again, his political views have nothing to do with his writing. Politics rarely makes a dent in his stories.

What has this little misdirection on your part have to do with the Shining?

Lighten up Francis.

Correct. His political views are separate from his writing.
But, I point out his extreme left wing ideology to show why he hates Kubrick's film.

ONLY a whack job leftist could possibly trash a classic film such as the shining.
It goes to his mental instability.
And his gross inability to recognize an iconic film.

Sorry, but if some whack job says the Godfather I and II are shitty movies, you're got damn right I'm gonna question their overall sanity and IQ level.

[Kierland]

[EAP]

Speaking of overall sanity and IQ level. Sheeeesh.

[Softball Bat]

poptart is TONTO????

No.

But rack TONTO for his "Jayne" "lesbian" balsts!

[Innocent Bystander]

Every so often, the film is indeed better than the book.
Not often, but every so often.

That's a list by itself.


As for King's assessment of Jack and Shelly's performances, he is bitter about Jack being the villain and doesn't recognize Shelly's realistic arc from abused wife to heroine. Three men had the Shine in the movie, Shelly had no supernatural gifts but fought and won without losing her sanity. Guess the dump stat.

IB.
Thank you for your insights here.
Jay seems to be a left wing scumbag like stephen king.

Thru the years, Stephen king has made as many stupid remarks as joe Biden has.

BTW,
get a load of Biden coming unhinged in an Iowa presser today.
Biden has been an angry low IQ pencil neck his entire life.
Now Alzheimer's is added to this sorry son of a bitch's baffoon clown life.

I forgive Biden because of Obama. and the fact he lives humbly in comparison with every other legislator. He's deteriorating before our eyes, and it's painful.

Stephen King is a great writer in need of an editor. He's created way too many iconic horror stories to be dismissed as merely a pulp writer. Having said that, Kubrick took the Shining to another level. His Shelly was a realistic portrayal of a woman who is about to break, but doesn't. She felt real. Maybe I should watch it again, though.

I wish he had survived to finish AI. Why would they give it to Spielberg instead of a director approaching Kubrick's level?

You are 100% correct about Spielberg ruining A I.
He fukkin had no clue whatsoever.
E T ET. E. T.

Kubrick would've taken it light years beyond anything steven Spielberg could muster or comprehend.
I love Spielberg, but he should've left that one on the shelf.

Look.
I love pet cemetery and carrie.
The stand and firestarter.
Christine and thinner.
I'm a big fan of his.

But one thing I've learned about left wing socialist types, is they don't always have a good grasp of reality.

You'd be surprised to learn how many left wing socialists think Nixon got us into Vietnam instead of Kennedy.

Or how many sick delusional leftists say that jimmy Carter was good for the economy.

I talk to a lot of left wingers,
And believe me, the majority of them are fruitcakes when it comes to historical facts.

My take on this is due to the fact that many leftists watch msnbc and Rachel maddow daily.
And as a result of being fed a steady stream of lies and bullshit propaganda, they have become increasingly like brainwashed sheep.
I believe that about Stephen king as well.
Years of following Rachel maddow and msnbc, has made him increasingly numb to reality.

You have such a child-like view of the world. There is not some clear dividing line of good vs evil in Washington. That you think so, makes you the brainwashed one.

Well, you didn't let me expand on my takes.
For instance, how could you possibly not see several top officials within the previous administration, plus several key 7th floor FBI brass who acted unethically and with extreme arrogance plus a huge lack of candor?
Are these normal everyday middle of the road types to you?

[Kierland]

How much longer is 88braincells going to allow one poster to use two other nicks to talk to himself? Absolutely pathetic.

He's right, I didn't let him. I held the pillow down as long as I could before he depressed the Life Alert button. Then it was a mad scramble to get out of the nursing home.
