It was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and has been the setting of witch burnings, Satantic rituals, and five John Denver Christmas Specials.
"In the book is a loving family man." I mean, I guess as much of a loving family man that an abusive drunk can be? Also, the dark history of the hotel is given to him during the job interview in the book as well. Just saying.
I'm not defending his actions, but in the book i feel like its better getting across that Jack was trying really hard to be better and had a ton of self loathing. That doesn't excuse anything, but I think book Jack struggled way more to control his anger and film Jack barely tried at all.
In the book he was absolutely not abusive- he loved both Wendy and especially Danny too. He was a recovering alcoholic that (until his last breath) tried to fight his demons...

@@metro121482 so it goes in art, though the opinion that a cheapass miniseries produced by a good novelist with a poor track record in film and starring the dude from Wings comes anywhere close to the work one of cinema's great masters is fanciful, to put it mildly.
I liked the pop music lyrics for Starring, fun idea Screen Junkies. Also liked them mixing up the formula by imagining what a real trailer would be like.
Yeah, Kubric was fucking dick. He did shit to people on pretty much every film he worked on. On _A Clockwork Orange_ he gave Alex DeLarge a pet snake even though he didn't have one in the book just because Malcolm McDowell was afraid of them and also scratched up McDowell's eyes pretty bad during the Ludovico technique scenes even when he was saying that it was hurting. Brilliant fucking filmmaker. Total fucking asshole.
@@Nikenik2001 my dude that's a fucked up thing to say about a woman who was physically and emotionally abused on set until she had to take time off to recuperate just so a dude could make a movie.
@@DreamyWoIf The miniseries had an engine but it was housed inside the body of a Yugo and driven by someone who could never get the car out of first gear. In my humble opinion, the miniseries could have been great if not for some casting choices (the ghosts came off super-cartoonish, Danny was basically cheeks, teeth and a stuffy nose, and Jack and Wendy had little chemistry), the locations dwarfed by Kubrick's movie giving the miniseries a "budget" feel (even though it was the actual hotel King used in his novel) and a director who is not an effective horror movie director (despite his past King filmography). The miniseries could have been cut down to Kubrick's running time and the story would have made an excellent movie. I still hope someone takes on this novel again for the big screen, notes what worked for the film and miniseries, and fashions the best version of the novel yet.
PS And a 20 year old Tony dangling from wires needs to go. If i remember correctly, Tony was always far enough away from Danny that he could never make out Tony's features. That beats a finger and a guy on wires in my book.
