Halloween Season Statements. I Make Them.

I've always loved The Shining so much that I sat through that ridiculous documentary of people taking every frame of Kubrick's work trying to find all the hidden Easter eggs of clues he left us - this glass of water being held this way means the movie's about the American Indian, or Scatman addressing the camera directly is about the Moon Landing being staged blah blah blah blah - to which I would say that while I can believe Kubrick threw in a little treat for himself here or there, in 1980 nobody really knew that one day we'd all be Abraham Zapruder and we'd all get to parse any film frame-by-frame over & over as many times as we want, so there wasn't a lot of incentive to put in the huge amount of work it would've done for Kubrick to do anything, much less all the gazillion things people in the doc raise "questions" about.
