The Shining

The Shining
Remember when Stephen King remade The Shining as a TV movie because he didn’t think Kubrick’s version was close enough to the book? Man, that was dumb. The original version not only boasts one of Jack Nicholson’s career-defining performances, it’s also as creepy as all hell.

"I think we cover the faces of corpses for the same reason. We see the faces of the dead as a kind of gate. It’s shut against us, but we know it won’t always be shut. Someday it will swing open for each of us, and each of us will go through."

Truly one of his best short stories that I have ever read.

I’m quite pleased with how this turned out – I don’t normally shoot things that are moving, so I don’t have much practice. These two cooperated nicely, though. :)

Stephen King Trivia!
I was given the first 4 books from Stephen King’s Dark Tower for my birthday. It seems however that I have the re worked version from stephen king (he says this in his foreword). I need to know if he re did the entire series or just the first 4 books. I am at the end of the 4th book and I can’t find anymore with the author’s foreword in it saying that he redid the other books. Help.

Pretty sure that he only re-wrote portions of the first four books. I’d have to go back and look, but he was on hiatus from writing The Dark Tower series when he was hit by a minivan and almost lost his life. That was the impetus that got him back into working on Roland’s tale. If I remember correctly, he went back and re-wrote portions of the first four books after he wrote the fifth book and had a working outline for the sixth and seventh (he wanted everything to match up and he knew there were some glaring discrepancies). Bear in mind that he only changed stuff around — he didn’t completely re-write the first four books.
