Now Watching: Eyes Wide Shut

Now streaming on Netflix.

The Shining

We were insanely fortunate to see a digitally-restored version of The Shining yesterday...in a theater.  A real theater with an amazing sound system.  I think there were ten people in attendance, including us.

An amazing memory for sure.

She Called It Shining

Room 237

A really interesting documentary on the theories behind the imagery of Kubrick's The Shining.  It's more of a study in human perception than a behind-the-scenes making-of.

Click below for the groovy track from the end credits:

Nothin'! There ain't nothin' in Room 237. But you ain't got no business goin' in there anyway. So stay out! You understand? Stay out!
