I loved the book, but equally love the movie. (This is one of the few examples of a movie made from a book that I enjoy both formats of.) Normally it would bug the crap out of me that the movie doesn\u2019t match the book (pretty extensively) but maybe it\u2019s because I saw the movie before I read the book? (Usually it\u2019s the other way around.) &nbsp;<\/span><b>(Doesn\u2019t that go back to the whole psychological thing where whatever \u201cversion\u201d of something that you see or hear is usually your preferred option. &nbsp;If you hear a remade song first, there\u2019s a good chance that since you are acquainted with it, that you prefer that to the original, or vice versa. &nbsp;I think that happens more with music than with films, but it still happens. &nbsp;I also get very irritated when people just bitch and moan as soon as the word remake is tossed out because a remake isn\u2019t inherently evil. &nbsp;For example, John Carpenter\u2019s The Thing and the Clooney and Pitt version of Ocean\u2019s Eleven. &nbsp;I have seen the originals and just can\u2019t get into them as much. &nbsp;The flip side of the coin has way more to nitpick though, obviously. Ghostbusters.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teddy: &nbsp;I have read the book (all stephen king\u2019s books really). The reason I don\u2019t like this movie is because of how it strays from the source material just to stroke whatever kinks Stanley Kubrick had during that time. <\/span><b>(Since I like to give people a hard time, I wanna tackle this. &nbsp;I don\u2019t get it. &nbsp;Am I the only person that wants some artistic change from book to film? &nbsp;If I wanted the exact same thing as the book, I would have just read the damn book. &nbsp;I cannot vouch for which is better, although having seen the remake which was supposedly closer to the novel, I think both are excellent. &nbsp;Why Kubrick\u2019s is better though is due to his artistic touches and excellent film making. &nbsp;In the same breath, to contradict my point slightly, because, why not, having read The Stand, it always bothered me how they left out some key things. &nbsp;Of course that was directed by Mick Garris who never seems to get things 92% right. &nbsp;Stanley Kubrick, on the other hand, is the greatest director of all time.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris T: &nbsp;I read the book a long time ago, but probably more recently than I had seen the movie version.

Steven Weber was a better Jack in the pre-madness part, he actually gave you the feeling that he was a flawed man, who cared about his family. But when it came time to bring it, he made you laugh instead of being scared. &nbsp;<\/span><b>(Well, you saved me a lot of typing. &nbsp;Weber doesn\u2019t get enough credit for his performance in it, and it bothers me. &nbsp;No, it wasn\u2019t as good as the OG, BUT there were aspects that were better in my mind.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: &nbsp;Yes, I really liked it. &nbsp;It\u2019s different enough from this one that it felt like a very different film, and quite frankly, that\u2019s preferable to watching a shot for shot remake. &nbsp;I can\u2019t convince you that it\u2019s good, if not great, but if you go in knowing that it isn\u2019t the same film, that can help provide a more even perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;Do you believe in any of the conspiracy theories surrounding this film? &nbsp;The most notorious one being that this is Stanley Kubrick\u2019s admission to being involved in the faking of the moon landing.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lloyd.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7522\" class=\"wp-image-7522\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grady.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7521\" class=\"wp-image-7521\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grady-Close-Up.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7520\" class=\"wp-image-7520\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristi: &nbsp;I honestly didn\u2019t know there were conspiracy theories, so no. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dana: &nbsp;No, but my sister was telling me that apparently Jack was already dead too?

I mean, I feel like if the government was going to fake the moon-landing, Kubrick would absolutely be the guy to do it. He is pretty brilliant, after all. I also (in general) am kinda a tin-foil-hat-wearer, (lol) so I\u2019m going to say that it\u2019s a possibility. After seeing\/thinking about this question some, I decided to try out the netflix documentary called Room 237 about this very subject. I guess I\u2019m not entirely convinced that he DIDN\u2019T fake the moon landing. Nor am I convinced that he wasn\u2019t discussing a few other topics, both subliminally and through a variety of mediums in the film.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teddy: &nbsp;I tend to take conspiracy theories with a grain of salt so I\u2019m gonna say someone believe in the\u201cfaking\u201d the moon landing theory is kinda stupid<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris T: &nbsp;Most of the elaborate urban legends and conspiracy theories surrounding this film (ranging from it serving as a Holocaust metaphor to a confession that Kubrick helped fake the moon landings) were refuted by<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000040\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stanley Kubrick<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during his lifetime or later by the surviving cast and crew. For example, the famous &#8220;impossible corridors&#8221; are a result of set logistics, Kubrick wanted to shoot Danny on his big wheel in unbroken takes, so the hallways had to connect and the only way the crew could construct them to fit Kubrick&#8217;s vision meant mirroring the set to fit available sound stage space. The shadow of the helicopter in the opening shot was the result of a framing error. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: &nbsp;As Sara points out, there is an interesting documentary called Room 237, which is absolutely worth a watch for those who do and do not believe in these things. &nbsp;If the government wanted to fake it, then you would recruit Kubrick. &nbsp;I tend to not believe in many conspiracy theories, but if you put a gun to my head, I\u2019m going to say that it happened. &nbsp;I get that a lot of these things have logical explanations. &nbsp;Still, for those of you who really follow Kubrick, you know damn well that everything he does is methodical and with purpose. &nbsp;If people are allowed to believe in God, I can believe that Kubrick faked the moon landing. &nbsp;Even if I\u2019m wrong, I find more joy in believing that it happened, much in the same way religious people feel. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;Would you consider this one of the top 100 films that you have ever seen?<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Bloody-Elevator.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7523\" class=\"wp-image-7523\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/All-Work-And-No-Play.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7519\" class=\"wp-image-7519\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Redrum.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7516\" class=\"wp-image-7516\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristi: &nbsp;YES!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dana: &nbsp;Fuck no.

The idea still holds up, and when it was made Kubrick was cutting edge, but I also think I could likely show my 10 year old this and it wouldn\u2019t frighten him at all. (Most of my favorite old horror doesn\u2019t, in fact.) I will also say, though, that he\u2019s not really old enough to get the psychological aspect of it. &nbsp;<\/span><b>(What does scare a kid nowadays? &nbsp;I personally know what holds up for me, and what can still be somewhat scary. &nbsp;Jaws and Exorcist are great films, but have no real scare factor today. &nbsp;Shining and Candyman can still provide chills from my perspective, and even something like The Ring. &nbsp;When I watch modern horror, I struggle figuring out what would be considered scary to today\u2019s youth.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teddy: &nbsp;I personally do not think so. We\u2019re in an era in which people like things to remain close to source material and I believe this movie wasn\u2019t close at all. &nbsp;<\/span><b>(Although I don\u2019t agree with disliking the film due to source material, let\u2019s face it, those people bitch about every comic book film ever made it seems, rather than simply enjoying it. &nbsp;I do concur with your point, in that there are a lot of people with a similar mindset. &nbsp;I do believe that by holding on to this idea that a film is going to be able to represent a book or comic, no, it shouldn\u2019t. &nbsp;It can provide elements, but the written word can be so descriptive. &nbsp;I really have issues with the expectations sometime. &nbsp;Yet, I am also guilty of it some time. &nbsp;Depends on what hat I am wearing that particular day.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris T: &nbsp;Yes and no. For a film buff or student some of the shots, effects and performances were groundbreaking at the time, as was the way Kubrick filmed the movie. For a person never having seen it or just coming into now, they would probably be like \u201cWTF people thought this was scary?\u201d <\/span><b>(Do you think that people thought that Shelley\u2019s performance was good at the time? &nbsp;I have wondered this for years.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: &nbsp;I think that it still holds up, but in all fairness, I could be romanticizing it with nostalgia and stuff. &nbsp;Quite frankly, I am too deep in the forest to see the trees. &nbsp;With that being said, I would certainly debate against anybody and probably win. &nbsp;This film has too many merits and there\u2019s not enough examples to discredit it aside from being old, which should never be an excuse. &nbsp;Citizen Kane is still a great f\u2019n film. &nbsp;It just may not appeal to today\u2019s audience\u2019s taste. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;What is the scariest part of the film for you?<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.9deuce.tv\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Furry-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7513\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristi: &nbsp;Have to go with creepy ass redrum kid part.

He LOVES Chucky.) &nbsp;<\/span><b>(I liked Quarantine a lot. &nbsp;Then I saw the original, Rec which is Spanish, and those movies are close to shot for shot. &nbsp;The cool part is that Rev went on to have a stellar part 2 and 4. &nbsp;3 was garbage, but 2 was directly after 1 in the same building and worked really well. &nbsp;The American sequels&#8230;ugh. &nbsp;Killer Klowns could be fun and attract a whole different audience, as would Childs Play. &nbsp;I like them all.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teddy: &nbsp;Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Sinister, I guess would say IT since it&#8217;s coming out soon and Tales from the Hood &nbsp;<\/span><b>(Wait a second. &nbsp;Did Tales From The Hood just get brought up a second time? &nbsp;What the hell? &nbsp;That\u2019s great! &nbsp;Sinister was really fun. &nbsp;IT would be another fun one to go back to. &nbsp;Younger people won\u2019t appreciate it, and jaded adults are going to see all of the flaws.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris T: &nbsp;Dude, just 3. Should do many fucking more of these. Stage them thematically: horror series (Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the Thirteenth, Saw, etc); creator( Stephen King, Clive Barker, James Wan, etc); country of origin, theme, etc. That being said there are some gems that no one ever talks about: Nightbreed, The Children of Twilight, and Phantasm are the three I would go with &nbsp;<\/span><b>(As I just tackled Phantasm this past October, I wholeheartedly agree. &nbsp;It is one of those fantastic gems. &nbsp;Have you seen the last one, part V Ravager I think it was called. &nbsp;It was weird&#8230;duh, but an interesting way to end the franchise, Booooooy! &nbsp;I can say that I haven\u2019t seen the other 2. &nbsp;So those are getting on my list this year.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: &nbsp;Well, obviously I have final say, but I want to do a lot of these. &nbsp;Quite frankly, I would love to do 2 of these a month. &nbsp;So I may be able to do this if there is enough interest. &nbsp;In October, I think it would be fun to tackle both John Carpenter\u2019s Halloween as well as Rob Zombie\u2019s because there are a lot of differing opinions regarding those 2 films, and that will be fun. &nbsp;Chris actually nailed 2 of my upcoming choices. &nbsp;In the meantime, I will ponder this question. &nbsp;Do you fans want to see blogs on more well known films, or lesser known gems? &nbsp;Do you want both recent and classic and really classic films? &nbsp;From the responses, it seems like the vast majority were of 80\u2019s or later. &nbsp;Still, Dana brought up 3 really good films to discuss. &nbsp;A lot of people love Psycho and The Omen. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that being said, while it is still available on NetFlix, I can say that the next film will feature, in my opinion, the greatest of all time. &nbsp;1\u2026.2\u2026&#8230;Freddy\u2019s coming for you next.<\/span><br>All the pictures used in this blog are for review purposes.
