Rebecca Ferguson is a BABE, btw. Is it just me or did her boobs look much bigger than usual?

That's exactly what I thought about every scene she was in.

It was kinda jarring because she never looked THAT big before. I even googled her pics... Small cup size in every pic!

Apparently there is a 3 hour directors cut on the way from Mike Flanagan.

Buying this one for sure. I wasn't expecting to love Doctor Sleep as much as I did.

 

[Blade2.0]

Just saw this at the dollar theater in my city. Loved it. Will watch the directors cut when it's out

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

3 hour director cut drops next week!

So excited

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Anyone seen the directors cut edition and can compare it to theatrical release? I’m curious what was added

I need to know, too

 

[Urprobablyright]

not sure dude, only ever saw the movie like a million times, tried to read the book in 5th grade but stopped somewhere around the 3rd chapter

Yeah.. somehow when i hear that Stephen King hates Kubrick's film, and know the kind of sort out of B-Level films he tends to sanction (i love Salem's Lot but it's hardly The Shining is it) i feel little drive to digest his version of the story. Which is pretty much the opposite of how i would feel about any other of his books.

I didnt mind this.....but yes Ferguson is literally mesmerising every time she is on screen.

 

[TrainedRage]

I was pleasantly surprised. I had no interest after seeing a trailer for it during Joker. Rented it the other day and liked it quite a bit more than I would have expected.

it was really violent and didn’t pull any punches. I thought it flowed well from beginning to end. Loved revisiting the overlook and the ought the acting was well done.

I can't believe people like this garbage.

It was never going to live up to The Shining, but it was terrible even as a standalone work. It didn't even try to replicate the tension that made the first movie so fantastic. Instead, it relied on cheap, cheesy "scares".

The villain was so goddamned bad. Not scary at all. And wore a ridiculous fucking hat the entire time. And a fucking gun fight? Definitely what a Shining movie needed.

People in the theater I went to were laughing during the showdown scenes. It was terrible. And the ending! God, the ending was the worst part. Classic "hey let's reference the first movie as much as possible with no thought given. Just cram everything in there!"

Fucking travesty of a movie that should have never been made. Felt bad for Ewan Mcgregor.

 

[TheWanderingOgre]

I saw it like a week, week and a half ago.

Great movie. It shines (no pun intended) brighter though before the big tie with the original film.

I know who can track me down and devour my shining whenever she is hungry...

When that girl told the guy to kill himself while she was being dusted....


I was like damn. That dude was cool.

I hated that chick. I get that she probably had trauma but her hatred of men was way out there! Especially since she was actively trying to kill the little girl.

Yeah. She was an oddball. And her motives were pretty weird. Also 15? Bullshit.

Saw it yesterday it was good but I could have done without the baseball boy scene Shit hit too close to home because that literally happened to some kids on my school bus in first grade in Reno NV. Never heard from again and discovered months later mutilated in a shallow grave...I was literally on the same bus the day it happened.

Dang. I'm sorry.

Thanks lol and people wonder why I don’t let my 7 year old just walk to school or ride the bus. Nooope!

We didn't let our son ride a bus (technically a van) until we vetted the adults on it. Those were the happiest days. He's 19 now so... *Sigh*

Finally just watched the directors cut

it’s great, fleshes out aspect that needed being fleshed out (more conversation with Dick, more time in hospital, longer bar scene, more Rose the Hat many more)

love this movie

Give Flanagan more Stephen King projects

 

[Smiles and Cries]

that is one movie I could never get into

just remember a skinny lady yelling and a little boy on a 3 wheeler

did not know it had a Lore that deep

 

[ManaByte]

Just watched this. Awesome sequel to The Shining that walks the tightrope between the book and Kubrick well.

Watched the theatrical cut, but I'll sit down and watch the three-hour director's cut soon. Really liked it.
