rejected Bass designs with Kubrick notes
- Imagine having the balls to talk to bass like thatGnash
- Kubrick gonna Kubrick. And his critics are not wrong.tank02
- Kubrick was right. These suck********
- The problem with the Maze is that he could not do what KIng wrote...so a problem to highlight that....like the hand and the bike...but yeah...not really relevandkoblesky
- The book is about the hotel. The movie is about the _________.stoplying
- @Gnash this is not a matter of prestige.
We see work between two professionals.
And it’s really refreshing when you can work with someone on this level.******** - I think these are good ideas, but like @tank said, Kubricks criticism is painfully true.********
- I love seeing really famous people get rejected. It shows you that they dealt with failure just like us...all the time...they just kept going...dkoblesky
- And this is where they landed:
https://m.media-amaz…monospaced - I guess all the emphasis on "THE" is really where it's at for Kubrick. Either that or Jack Nicholson, which isn't much better.monospaced
- I like the hand and the bike betterdkoblesky
- my favorite thing in the world is reading about creative people hashing work out....I wish I had a library of that..its kind of hard to finddkoblesky

https://revolverwarh…Gnash - The final one's "Shining" looks like a scooby doo font. The maze is incredibly metaphorical. But, for Kubrick's pragmatism, this is less art than marketing.toemaas
- Viewers need to to know that it was a horror film. He even literally spells it out on the poser, haha "It's a horror masterpiece!"toemaas
- Unpopular opinion: I never found a single moment of The Shining to be scary. It's not that I don't "get it," I just never found it anything beyond kinda twistedmonospaced
- Calling it a horror film was always a huge stretch for me. I get that there was some blood, and dad freaks out, but that's it?monospaced

- But it scares the shit out of wives and mothers!toemaas
- mono- the bloody hallway, the naked old lady, the redrum, the general feeling of dread, the bartender, the photo, the twins, the supernatural, the wanting to_niko
- murder his wife with an axe and then his child in the maze? how is this not horror? It scared the shit out of me when i was a kid._niko
- Everything you listed is creepy. The blood and a man freaking out with an axe is almost horror. But nobody even really gets hurt.monospaced
- I get some people found it scary. But to me a photo, or some twins standing there, or a boy saying red rum. Just kinda odd. Not scary.monospaced
- it was a cool suspense movie with elements of horror. i liked the movie more with repeated viewings, I was underwhelmed at first viewing but it hiolds up well********
- sure, suremonospaced
- I guess "horror" is open to interpretation, I find psychological horrors scarier than physical, like American psycho axe scene is actually funny. same with_niko
- anything in Friday the 13th, it just becomes silly slapstick after a while. so curious as to what films you consider scary or "horror"_niko
