I've got some news for you people

[GHP]

This is all I have to say about that:

I think this IS in the book. I saw a thing on Kubrick once that went into great detail about this and what it meant. Evidently the dog guy was a gay masochist or some shit blah blah got caught sucking Mr Big Time's cock yada yada waaah

pretty sure it isn't. That's a Kubrick thing.

What is that strange Bear scene in The Shining about (and is it a bear)?
The "bear scene" is a brief moment in The Shining when Wendy, beginning to see the same "1920's Party" events that Jack's been seeing, is wandering through the halls of the hotel. As she looks around a corner, she sees two shapes huddled over the edge of a bed. As she looks, they are revealed to be two men, possibly engaged in oral sex. One is wearing what looks to be a bear (1) costume. The scene is taken directly from Stephen King's novel. In one of the novel's scenes set in the 1920's party, Jack is dancing with a beautiful woman. He notices that at one table, there is a young man behaving like a pet dog for the amusement of others, including a tall, bald man.
The bald man is Horace Derwent, a Howard Hughes-like figure who poured millions into restoring the Overlook Hotel in the 1920's. (Jack has learned this by reading a mysterious scrapbook earlier in the novel.) The younger man has a romantic crush on the bisexual Derwent, and Derwent has said that 'maybe', if the man dresses like a nice doggy, and acts like a nice doggy, he 'may' be willing to sleep with him.
Later on, in the novel, as Wendy is warily navigating the corridors of the Overlook, she begins to see the visions of the 1920's party. And at one point, peering around a corner, she sees the two men on a bed, one in a doggy costume. The two men are Derwent and his extremely dependent lover.
It's difficult to say why this second scene remains in the film; as it's somewhat confounding without all of the set-up that King provides in his book, while this scene isn't in the book. Perhaps its jarring incongruity is reason enough for its inclusion, illustrating as it does Wendy's extreme disorientation at that point in the film. Another explanation is that the background on Derwent may have been scripted and filmed, (2) but excised in the final cut.

Me either but it's been 20+ years since I read it

[Oderus]

I guess it is. I haven't read the book for a while. I'll have to read it again

[Chriza]

Fuckin Oderus

Fuckin Oderus

What about you, you motherfucker?

[Cheri]

They didn't really talk much about how Jack flipped out on a student, and broke his creepy fucking kid's arm.

Yeah! That's what it said in the thing about Kubrick. A huge bunch of shit that doesn't matter I think Chriza may be right

[Chriza]

That's one SK book I've never actually read

[eliasbboy]

[Popeye Saavedra]

Make a pen of this. I will buy.

[Cheri]

It's pretty good. Ending is much better in the book, not that shitty cop-out in the movie.

[Oderus]

In the movie, the look on the doctor's face when Wendy explains how Jack broke Danny's arm is the funniest goddamn thing.

[PI Nate]

I think I'll get some rib tips today...

[Schmoopy]

Full Metal Jacket was gay as fuck

Kubrick was an overrated faggot hack

Stop sucking his dick you goddamn prick bastards

That is all

[Schmoopy]

Chriza wouldn't have to get his head shaved if he joined the military.

[Chriza]

I also want to go on record as saying Platoon blows FMJ out the water and Oliver Stone could beat the shit out of Kubrick
