The Office

Saw these today at work.  The most decorations that have ever been displayed there.  It's very promising.

Now Playing: Redrum Ending Mix

Here's the original Pogo version.

And here's an amazing remix of the incredible ending of that song.  Been pining on about wanting something like the below since hearing the original.

This is really amazing, hypnotic, brilliant, and genius...

Mr. Torrance

So on Halloween night, a cluster of kids comes up to the porch.  I'm handing out my top-shelf candy and I notice that a kid at the back of the small line is holding a white square with a jagged cut-out in the center of it.  When he gets to the door (and the top-shelf candy bowl I'm holding), he raises the square to his face and looks through the jagged hole.  He's holding an axe and a pillowcase with the other hand. 

Jack Torrance says "Trick-or-Treat!"

Behind me, on the TV, is THE SHINING.  I excitedly shout "DUDE!  This is an AMAZING costume!  LOOK!  The Shining is on the TV right now!"  The kid looks more excited than I do and says "No it isn't!  IS IT?!" and looks in and sees it playing behind me and adds "It's my favorite movie!"

He got more top-shelf candy than the others.

This is a really cool (groovy) video...
And strange...

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.

Click below to see the opening credits.  Which became something totally new on such a massive screen.

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.
