Room 237 - New documentary about the shining/ how Kubrick is a goddamn wizard

[Danny]

Okay, after those spacial awareness videos coined me on to how goddamn crazy the design is im super excited for this.

[LouCipherr]

Great. Something else to make my head explode. I thought the 'spatial awareness' videos were mind-blowing. Not sure how much more I can take.

[AcesandEights]

Thank you for the heads up on this, Danny! Big time interested in it.

My brain could barely handle the youtube shorts on this. I don't know if I would survive an entire documentary.

I finally got around to watching the spatial awareness stuff last night (great stuff btw), & next thing I know I'm up 'till 5 watching stuff about gold & faked moon landings. Not sure how much of it's legit & how much is navel gazing, but it's interesting nonetheless. I've know Kubrick had this legendary rep for years (& obviously that he had made a number of great films), but I had no idea he was up to all of this. do5043b0d3.jpg The gift that keeps on giving known as the Shining! ^^^ Mind. Blown.

yes, i must also admit that i was unaware of the myth about kubrick and the moon landings...pretty peculiar stuff. not sure if i buy into all of it, but it's definitely something to think about (which is what a lot of my boring day at work consisted of today). i've been slowly replacing my dvd collection of "must-own" films with blu-rays, and i think that i may just end up buying the kubrick collection on blu-ray. and has anybody watched the one about full metal jacket and the kennedy assassination? the jfk shooting is something that's always fascinated me, so this i found particularly interesting... and by the way, tonight's south park was a nice homage to "the shining"....about randy buying a blockbuster and going a little crazy due to how lonely and deserted video rental places are these days.

Trailer 2 Looking forward to this.

I watched Room 237. Well most of it. Sorry but its absolutely absurd.

[shootemindehead]

Yeh, it's a load of old bollocks. Not the documentary I was hoping for.

[LouCipherr]

Meh, I saw it a few weeks ago - I think some of the people were really 'reaching' for things that may not have been there, but there was some interesting info contained in it. I do have to agree with Shootem though - it's not the documentary I thought it was going to be, but it did shed some interesting light on the flick. To be honest, I think my mind was more blown by the 'spatial awareness' video that was posted by Danny a while back.

[Danny]

Yeah i havent gotten around to watching it but the three people i know who did said "its alright if you want something to laugh at like ancient aliens" which kind of said enough for me. shame.
