Watching The Shining at midnight to relax from a shitty day.

This is the such a great movie for multiple reasons:

- First extensive use of a steadicam
- One of the last movies to roll the credits first.
- Soundtrack by Wendy Carlos, who became a transexual in 1972 and can be considered the father/mother pioneer of electronic music.
- Subversive subtext by Kubrick - story was less about madness of writing (King's theme) and more about conquest of North America's troubled past with natives.
- Pauline Kael's review was butta.
- Stephen King HATED THE MOVIE so much so he remade it for tv (a crappier version with the guy from WINGS)
