Love it. Love it. LOVE it.
Really great pics, too.
May I ask...what is the display case? A Wine display case? It doesn't appear to be a normal shadow box. Can you also tell me where you got it? I'd love to pick one up (the display case, that it...)
And as for the Kubrick/King argument, I'll throw in my two cents and comment that the book (sorry for the cliche) really was waaay much better than either film....however, the second film - much more to King's approval was really crappy. My only defense of King is that Jack Torrence in the Kubrick edition was not King's Torrence. Kubrick didn't really create Torrence in the film either. This was a classic case of a director letting Jack Nicholson be Jack Nicholson.

Thanks guys!
Stainboy, I got the display case at Joann (craft store) :thumbsup:
As for the book being better, it really depends what your looking for. I dont like books, I find them extremely boring, film on the other hand is the art im interested in. I like visuals and audio, both of which a book can not deliver for me. The story is very important too, but, thats all the book has, The movie has all three. Put it this way, would you rather read poetry or hear those same "lyrics" in a song with vocals and instruments that expresses the emotion and feeling?
The Shining was brilliantly shot, take the opening scene of Kubrick's The Shining for example, a wide angle lens soaring over a vast wilderness with "insignificant" Jack driving through the mountains while the intense and creepy score is playing, that is what its about. But anyway, regardless of who likes what I still dont think King's name needs to be anywhere on my case :down: The movie that my figure is from is Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, not Stephen King's. Plus it wouldnt make sense for it to say "Stephen King's Stanley Kubrick's The Shining".
