All work and no play make Jack a dull boy - The Shining (1980) 1/2

This film never ceases to amaze me.

What makes this scene really scary is that Jack was saying that he was very focused on doing his work throughout the movie but he was just writing the same sentence over and over again! That’s also a perfect reveal to the viewer realizing everything Jack has been doing all along! The hotel really did drive him insane

Revelation "To Reveal Something"
Firstly, I am convinced that insanity, ghosts, possession, all begin when a person realizes they have been ignorant their whole lives and make their first breakthroughs. Hey. The truth destroys empires, mostly because they are filled with blind idiots. America is slowly discovering it was an ignorant hick. It was a deadly combination of the Occult, scientific discovery, invention, failed war, and constant political advice that led to the downfall of medieval Prussia. This is a combination much like what exists today. It was the ushering in of these truths that did it. This is not to mention the rise of paper money and the revealing of the math system's actual truths. If one wants to know how to crash an entire empire, this would be the formula. Next thing they know there's an inquisition, etc. Ha ha ha ha. I can only laugh. What goes around seems to come around, huh? We should have the political right to spank Americans for just existing. Move in the real books, not your old Waldenbooks (R) choice? Information (yes, books) are literally the way to both conquer and destroy the world. Some Americans were literally starved for real books and waiting for antiquity and dark ages history like a pinata that never showed up.
Note* I'm not going to show you what is what by getting a better job. I know that tactic they use.

my notes are quite similar on my inability to sleep or stop picking my head so i was very curious on what the rest of the pages say and i cant seem to relax until im able to look through the rest of that lovely neat stack of freshly written pages.

Splitting Phi into Circles and Squares "Skulls or Projects in a Meeting Without Free Cake"
Gratian, Napoleon, Socrates, Caesar? Let me show you the truth about legality. Villainy happens as a result of a failed domestication and a slew of struggles where one sucks down characters from the media in order bite into the daily accord. It is a slow process and may begin with a gateway apparatus like drugs or music where one is proffered criminality by friendship. After decades the differences in society begin to show and it may become a shocking affair. Sometimes there are failed friendships that turn into rivalries because of disputes. Next two sides begin to form and good and evil begin their processes. Some may call evil a failure to run or to grasp the realities of the world. Some may call good a betrayal or a coward. In higher society or religion these are only factors of splits in ideologies thus, both are really an aspect of good because they embrace society as a whole but one is always more apparently evil. Overtly social people tend more toward evil while those who develop skills across a lifetime tend more towards good. In social situations, thus, it may become an aspect of survival where one needs to attempt to make the best of a given situation. It is here one begins to develop their sense of social proof. Try and bring a project if anticipating a social situation that way you can get the best of both worlds and can run off with something of value. A useful simple test to ground a person's situation is to ask oneself, 1. Does the person seems overtly social or do they seem project oriented. Then from there, 2. Do they have a reason to lie to cover up friendships, or 3. May they have a situation in their past that provokes them to return to an overtly social time.

If only the whole world could understand the power of this.

"The utter meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning." In a nutshell.

A true masterpiece that has stood the test of time and always will, forever and ever and ever.

There's no greater motivation like that of a madman's.

All living and the same old work makes Based a dull boy.

No TV and no beer makes Homer go crazy

All work and no pizza makes Based a bad boy.

"Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy." In that sense.

All minor details and no main idea makes writing essentially useless.

God that paper style is so atrocious but the work is so good.

"Endless" would be the title in my opinion.

Sometimes there isn't anything else to do besides just lose your shit really.

This masterpiece never gets old, just like the brilliancy of Jack's wonderful novel.

The same old ideas of mankind that never change or ever will anytime soon.

It's an emporium of madness that place is.

Beautiful just beautiful.

Essentially the majority of us during quarantine of 2020 and counting for that matter.

There's an innocence to Shelley that makes it easy to feel sympathy for her. A lot of people hate her performance in this role. It is very different from the book version of Wendy. But Shelley was just playing the role as it was written. It wasn't her fault in the slightest. Not to mention how Kubrick was treating her off camera. Everyone knows THAT story.

Can we give some recognition to the soundtrack here? The oily violin chords. The insectile string plucking. Whoever composed the music for this movie is a genius.

I know this is based on The Simpsons episode, but I definitely prefer this version. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull bit” is more menacing than “No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy”.

I would have started a wide shot on the typewriter and sheet of paper then done a sudden zoom close up revealing the text on the paper to the audience. Stanley Kubrick uses 2 extremely fast zooms to make a point in this picture.

Stephen King hated this movie. Let's face it: He was upset that the film adaptation was far better than his novel. You want to whine about how it was adapted, don't exchange the film rights for cash. If you sell it, it's not yours anymore. If he could understand basic concepts like buying/selling maybe he would be almost half as good a writer as Kubrick was a filmmaker.

The fact that a person or persons actually took time to type out all these pages with the same phrase is really amazing.

was the book ever published?

Jack: "how do you like it?"
Wendy: "Little repetitive but still has more lyrics than an early Panic at the disco song."

This is the bit that’s the most chilling she realises he’s nuts !!!!!!

Shelley Duvall is great. Jack Nicholson, nahh, he's just doing his shtick. Joker/Witches from Eastwick - alas not the Jack Nicholson from Chinatown.
He's just smirky here, not scary. The pages are scary, but that's all due to Shelley Duvall, who could give Bambi a run for it's money.

"dull bog"

Jack started writing "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" more or less on his first day as the off-season caretaker. Maybe he even started when he was still living in their real home. So he was obviously crazy from the start, and only got worse over time.

The emptiness of the hotel filled him up with such dull and empty, mindless rage, unfortunately.

The man left too long in the confines of the delusions of the mind

The Pentacle of the Pentagon
The awful truth is that the media, television, fiction, religion, the radio, and most of computing are one gigantic pentacle meant to keep underachievers away and distracted from politically sensitive areas and people. Lengths 1.618. Hahahaha. This goes all the way back to Caesar cyphers and Solomon mines. Aw. You should’ve paid attention to the Holy Grail. It helps against bad dates. I don’t care. I’ve been through so much with people already I’m on a permanent vacation. There are massive amounts of competitive immaturity in the world. Aw. I’ll just own the proofs and become a god, instead of contributing. (The Journey of Pythagoras from Egypt). Bombing the world with information is fun! Darwin was correct. Pbbbbbt. F’ing apes, man. Oh. There’s more. WTF?

Tbh this is probably one of the most well done horror moments ever
