Everything is the same… But Marc is as savage as Diane Johnson
Marc: Tonight. When you are in your most deepest sleep… I’m going to hurt you.
Lacey: … I just wanted a pencil.
Mme. Mendeleiv: *Shuts the door* Did you hear that?!
Mme. Bustier: I have goosebumps! Marc has always been tough, but usually, he has the precision of a sniper.
Mme. Mendeleiv: I know!
Mme. Bustier: Now he’s just a lunatic dropping cherry bombs at a gas station!
Mme. Mendeleiv: I am legitimately scared of my own student right now. What if Zoé looks at him the wrong way, and he just goes off on her?
Mme. Bustier: He’s turned on us.
Mme. Mendeleiv: We have a demon for a student.
Marc: *From behind the door* I hear you both talking!
Mme. Bustier: Aah! [Bleep] Run the [Bleep] Away!
Mme. Mendeleiv: [Bleep] He’s gonna kill us!
Marc: When you’re sleeping. I’m going to put spiders in your mouth.
Kiran: He has spiders, and he’s waiting to use them.
Adrien: Why are you wearing a suit vest?
Marc: Just thought I’d make an effort since there’s an important guest coming to the school. Looks like you went the other way and feel fine looking like… Whatever.
Marc: If this doesn’t happen, I’m going to remember this when you’re old and feeble.
Alyssa: What?
Penny: Excuse me?
Marc: Not threatening. I’m just saying. *Leaves*
Kiran: That was a threat.
Simon: What’s happening?
Marc: Nothing! We think you’re cool. People would kill to have the body of a pool noodle.
Simon: Was that a shot at you or me?
Nino: I don’t know. Where both noodle-like.
Simon: And they are like snipers shooting kill shots at our self esteem.
Chloé: The Sniper Twins. I like the sound of that.
Nino: *Freezes in place when he sees Marc across the room*
Marc: Nino.
Nino: … Marc.
Kim: I’m talking about Marc.
Nino: I believe it’s pronounced, ‘Demon.’

This episode of my web series is about Kubrick's interest – or rather obsession – with Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, the literary source of Eyes Wide Shut. I will take you back in time to bring to the surface what lies beneath Kubrick's laborious work on his final, and most personal, film.
It's a 30-minute video, so you might want to save this for later. Thanks for watching!

By the way, I believe some people are supporting Marsai Martin and condemning Yara Shahidi all because if the TV show Black-ish Marsai has the darkest skin color on that show compared to the other actors on the show. All I wish people would take their time to speak to Kenya Barris, and not Yara Shahidi, as if it is her fault people like Kenya Barris favored her and her character Zoey on the show. It isn't Yara's fault what was going on behind the scenes on blackish. She was a child as well. It is so immature when people don't have a good reason to keep insulting Yara. Marsai is a very gorgeous girl, but her team or someone close to her is pushing her to be a Lolita. It is very disturbing. She was underage not too long ago. Whoever is doing this, they need to stop making teenagers over sexualized. They are making her as a try hard here. And no, I'm not impressed by "grown" Marsai now.

The Shining (1980)
Tumblr media
We've seen many adaptations of Stephen King's works. When it comes to horror, none have ever matched the 1980 version of The Shining. It’s got a perfect cast. The mood by director Stanley Kubrick carefully juggles the plot's inherent weirdness and terror. It’s packed with so many iconic visuals and moments that one viewing is enough for this film to become permanently imprinted into your brain.
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), takes a caretaking job at the isolated Overlook Hotel. While the resort is closed for the winter season, he will maintain the building with his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) at his side. The quiet environment is a great opportunity for him to do some much-needed writing between his duties but something… off about the hotel begins to influence the family.
There are some weird, seemingly conflicting elements present here. Any normal horror film would be content placing the family in a haunted hotel while the weather prevents them from escaping. The Shining goes the extra mile and throws psychic powers into the mix. The titular “Shining” is an ability possessed by young Danny. It allows him to telepathically communicate with the hotel’s cook, Dick Halloran (Scatman Crothers), and see into the hotel’s bloody past. This ability means all three of the Torrance family members experience the Overlook in different ways, separating them from each other emotionally. United, they’d surely be capable of figuring out that something’s off about the place and find a way to leave. Because their experience with the Overlook is so different, the danger goes unnoticed until it's too late.
Admittedly, Jack Nicholson does play the role of crazy a bit too well. It’s not really a surprise when his mind starts to unravel but he’s too charismatic for you to give up on his character. When Jack Torrance finally goes bug nuts, Nicholson delivers one memorable moment after another. Danny Lloyd does well in a mostly reactionary role but it’s more than the way he looks wide-eyed and afraid whenever the Overlook unleashes its various terrors; he has a sweet and innocent demeanour that never becomes treacly. He feels like a real kid. Performance-wise, the one I always gravitate towards is Shelley Duvall. She’s got such an unusual face. She seems so frail and nervous from the beginning. You see in the three of them a story that stretches beyond the edges of the screen and when she is gripped with the full terror of the Overlook, you’re sweating. Her panic is so infectious you’ll be screaming at the screen, cheering her on to just forget about everything and GET OUT OF THERE! - even if escape seems impossible. It makes for great suspense.
That’s another key word in this film, the suspense. Early on, Dick Halloran warns Danny about room 237. You know what’s going to happen. Something’s in there. We’re going to see it. You can’t wait… but you’re scared. The long shots as the family make their way to the hotel show you just how isolated they are, how hopeless it would be to expect help to arrive in time. The hotel's memories of gore and blood come and go so quickly you wonder if you actually saw that… or if you’re losing your mind. The soundtrack is incredible. Overal, sound is used so effectively. A favorite moment comes from Danny, wheeling his tricycle through the seemingly endless corridors over carpet, then hardwood floor, around one corner, then carpet, hardwood floor... Past all these closed doors in which anything could be hiding. Rattle-Rattle-Rattle CLUNK! Rattle-Rattle-Rattle CLUNK!
The Shining is a superb horror film. Its imagery is startling and disturbing. It’s also a great deal of fun to simply look at. The use of color in the hotel, the tracking shots through those corridors, the music and then there's the final shot - it raises all sorts of hair-raising questions. You can watch it again and again and always find something new to see in The Shining. (On Blu-ray, November 9, 2019)

There's something Shakespearean in the way that Diane Johnson and Stanley Kubrick took Stephen King's The Shining, blended in bits of Last Year at Marienbad, "The Masque of the Red Death", and goodness knows what else, and left their own marks on the story, transmuting it into something altogether darker and more ambiguous. For most people the film is the definitive version of the story, just as Shakespeare treated tales that previously existed and eclipsed their earlier tellings, and that's not just because movie-watching is more common that book-reading; many other acclaimed novels have had cinematic adaptions that haven't supplanted them. And it's an especially impressive feat when one considers that King is plausibly the most successful novelist of the past half-century

MARSAI MARTIN at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards on March 9th 2023 wearing FOR LOVE & LEMONS
I feel like this picture doesn’t even do justice to this look. This felt like a great choice for Marsai, it felt youthful and fresh. I loved the white print with red roses. The tulle sleeves were amazing and just really elevated this look. It was a great look. Marsai looked beautiful.

In retrospect, Johnson says she was shocked by the ability of the film — and the medium — to transform her ideas into what have become indelible cinematic moments. “I was so unaware of the magnifying effect of film,” she says. “Where somebody says, ‘No,’ on the screen, it’s powerful. When you’re writing a novel it’s just a word. So I was a little bit overcome to see it on the screen.”
Diane Johnson on the making of 'The Shining'
