Yes, that REALLY is interesting but that answers no questions. If anything it poses an absolutely new batch of them.

Yeah, that blogger's whole theory is that the picture is quite obviously a "fake" in the movie. It's meant to deceive and be flagged as a falsehood ... all linking back to Hallorann's dialogue about "shining" just being fake and all "pictures in a book."
I'm not buying that. At this point, Jack is dead, so who is "faking" this photo, and in who's mind? It's not Jack's.
Danny's? He's left the hotel with his mother. The theory just doesn't hold up.

I'd say it is possible that the Overlook "faked" the photo, adding Jack to its collection of lost souls. Just like the Overlook puts a piece of paper in Jack's typewriter at one point.

Did the Overlook also make Paul Ryan forget he asked for stimulus money?

Reg -- yes it does. There's that scene that begins with Jack typing, and the Bartok is on the soundtrack, and Wendy approaches him to tell him about the weather, and the music reaches a climax with a clash of cymbals as Jack rips the paper out of the typewriter. There's that ugly little scene where he really brutally tells her not to bother him when he's working ("Why don't you start now and get the f*ck out of here?"). As she leaves, Jack starts typing on a piece of paper that seems to have materialized out of nowhere.

I went to watch a clip on Youtube, and it was preceded by a commercial featuring the Jenner girls. The twins are back!

So do we think that thing with the paper is hotel spookiness or a continuity glitch?

Coincidentally, I started rereading "The Shining" just yesterday. I read it as a teenager--honestly can't remember if it was before or after the film--but I'm finding I don't remember anything of the novel. The film has so firmly lodged itself in my brain.

Someone brings up an interesting point on Youtube about this scene. You never see Grady let Jack out of the pantry. You never even see the door open. You just hear the locks.
And someone commented that Jack could have let himself out.

I have scratched my head over this eversince I first saw this AWFUL version,} I could give you numerous reasons why I dislike this film} IMO of King's Classic novel. It makes no sense.
But more importantly JORDAN, who the Hell is "THAT" in your Avatar?

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

No way! I know my limits when it comes to horror.
I'll stick to "The Shining." Far less disturbing and frightening.
