N.E. Brigand Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 In light of Oregon's 2018 program, it may be of interest here that The Shining has just been added to the National Film Registry, as announced today in the 30th iteration of the Library of Congress's annual selection of films chosen for "their cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to the nation’s film heritage" and thus meant to be given special attention by their archivists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Here's what the LOC says about The Shining: "Director Stanley Kubrick’s take on Stephen King’s terrifying novel has only grown in esteem through the years. The film is inventive in visual style, symbolism and narrative as only a Kubrick film can be. Long but multi-layered, 'The Shining' contains stunning visuals — rivers of blood cascading down deserted hotel hallways, disturbing snowy mazes and a mysterious set of appearing and disappearing twins — with iconic performances by Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall."

N.E. Brigand Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I look forward to O.C.'s 2043 show, "I Wish I Knew How to Quit You". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well, if they want to stick with Kubrick, Eyes Wide Shut could make for some, um, interesting GE. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a 2001: A Space Odyssey show. Of course, the opener would have to be Also Sprach Zarathustra, and maybe Blue Danube as a production number. The Ligeti pieces could serve as transition points between movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musically first rate concept but how do you portray the rape & rape/murder essential to the plot? However, it would seem that OC has other issues right now Edited December 13, 2018 by IllianaLancerContra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
