just got back from The Shining. God Damn what an experience. Another friend met up with us there and it turned out to be the first time she'd gotten to see the movie as a whole. Despite having to pee for the entire movie and the person behind me kicking my in the butt, it was a pretty amazing experience, and even though I didn't feel exactly "ready" to watch it again I still got a lot out of it and noticed some things I hadn't before. Similarly to when I saw Space Odyssey yesterday, there was a lot of confused and horrified laughter at inappropriate moments, but to the audience's credit they did it a lot less as the movie went on and no one laughed when the n-word was said, which I was worried they were going to do.
As for one of the things I noticed, when Wendy and Halloran go through the snowed-in door of the hotel, they're only able to force the one door open a small amount, but when Jack sees the door after Danny's run outside, both of the doors are wide open. There's no way Danny could or would have forced both doors open, especially since he was running for his life and two different adults had to struggle to get one door half-open... Which means one of the ghosts had to have done it. Whether it was to help Danny escape or to help Jack find him is the real question.
(the other question is how on earth did they fit so much luggage into their tiny volkswagon because there's no way you can fit that much luggage into a car that size and also have two adults and a child fit in it.)
