@Dutcher2023 @DannyDrinksWine Richard Dutcher just randomly showed up in my twitter feed in the comments section!?! I hope you're doing alright.

@DannyDrinksWine I love Stephen King’s book and THE SHINING is one of his best. However…Kubrick’s film version is perhaps flawless. It’s one of the most effective horror films of all times. King is simply too close to the material to see this. Two geniuses. Two masterpieces.

"What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much & feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should." --- Stephen King Full Excerpt: "Stanley Kubrick‘s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is a lot tougher for me to evaluate [than 'Carrie' (1976)], because I’m still profoundly ambivalent about the whole thing. I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat. I think there are two basic problems with the movie. First, Kubrick is a very cold man—pragmatic and rational—and he had great difficulty conceiving, even academically, of a supernatural world. He used to make transatlantic calls to me from England at odd hours of the day and night, and I remember once he rang up at seven in the morning and asked, “Do you believe in God?” I wiped the shaving cream away from my mouth, thought a minute and said, “Yeah, I think so.” Kubrick replied, “No, I don’t think there is a God,” and hung up. Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn’t grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: Because he couldn’t believe, he couldn’t make the film believable to others. The second problem was in characterization and casting. Jack Nicholson, though a fine actor, was all wrong for the part. His last big role had been in 'One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest' (1975), and between that and his manic grin, the audience automatically identified him as a loony from the first scene. But the book is about Jack Torrance’s gradual descent into madness through the malign influence of the Overlook, which is like a huge storage battery charged with an evil powerful enough o corrupt all those who come into contact with it. If the guy is nuts to begin with, then the entire tragedy of his downfall is wasted. For that reason, the film has no center and no heart, despite its brilliantly unnerving camera angles and dazzling use of the Steadicam. What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should. I’d like to remake 'The Shining' someday, maybe even direct it myself if anybody will give me enough rope to hang myself with." (From Stephen King's interview to Playboy, 1983) P.S: On this day, 46 years ago, "The Shining" (1980) had its limited release in the USA & Turkey.

@MyLordBebo "we fired HR. Now we only have a 'people ops' team." "Is 'people ops' just HR with a different name?" "Yeah."

Bolt now has a small “people ops” team that helps with basics like contracts, vacation requests, and expenses. That’s basically it, and that’s how it should be IMO. There is no need for a small Gestapo at a company.

🚨💪 “NO HR TEAM, NO PROBLEMS” - BOLT CEO FIRES ENTIRE HR TEAM! “We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn’t exist. Those problems disappeared when I let them go.” — Ryan Breslow hails that firing the entire HR team eliminated unnecessary problems created by HR itself! It also helped get rid of “complain culture” at work and go back into execution mode. So apparently removing the people that play thought police at work helps workers work.

@angeIsvice is that sloppy steaks at truffoni's? big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it. water splashing around the table. makes the night so much more fun.

I didn't know Helen of Troy could generate so much conflict.

@Fat_Electrician I dont agree with Marx. But I think he may be top 3 greatest writers of all time. That dude could write.

“Have you even read Marx?” A. Yes. B. Even if I hadn’t, the idea that someone has to read thousands of pages of bullshit before they’re allowed to determine it’s bullshit is retarded. If I write a 3,000-page book explaining why slamming your dick in a car door cures cancer, nobody is obligated to read the whole thing to conclude I’m a fucking moron.

@simonsbookclub @_theorycel #5 is my favorite.

@_theorycel I loved the first book. Liked the second. Was ok with the third. Don’t remember the fourth and fifth. Liked the last.

Is In Search of Lost Time actually worth reading, or is it lengthslop?

@bernardtjoy @Athens_Stranger Troilus and Cressida also has Thersites in it--which I think is one of Shakespeare's best characters.

@Athens_Stranger Troilus and Cressida.

I’ve wondered if Nolan even knows that the greatest rendition ever done of Homer was done by Shakespeare It’s easily among Shakespeare’s most important plays I genuinely doubt anyone in Hollywood could name it — in the rare case they even know it exists

@JWhitebread1 one of my favorite films is Cool Hand Luke--an anti-Western

There are two types of Westerns. John Wayne Westerns, and Clint Eastwood Westerns. But not all Westerns that star Clint are "Clint Eastwood" Westerns. Two Mules for Sister Sara, is one of the few Westerns that stars Clint Eastwood but is actually a "John Wayne Western." John Wayne starred in a few "Clint Eastwood Westerns" too near the end, like The Cowboys and The Shootist.

@zancan i was thinking of you within the last month. i was trying to remember your name. remembering the monoliths you did. glad to see you're still at it.

System for Healing 50 editions sold out in 30 seconds. That's the time is took for my first Lushtemples on Tezos back in October '21 (1 block) I've been scared of selling for 3 years. Still am, means I'm not healed yet. 3 Garden, Monoliths sold while I was asleep (from emotional exhaustion, I guess). NFT ARE DEAD ♻️ WE ARE SO BACK. I don't know how to react to that (sales-wise) That love/hate relationship with sales is surely personal. Blame the tax inspector. But I've opened my chest and put some art back into the world, after what felt like a long hiatus. That's healing. You art collectors responded. That's confidence. That's also part of the system for healing. I'm grateful for you all 💚

@RonDeSantis They definitely are

@stephendethloff I forgot Paracelsus! This looks incredible.

Braindump of interesting videos I can do. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.
