The book to the sequel kinda sucked though lol. Doesn't mean the movie has to, I guess. Though movies based on Kings shit don't have the best track record.

Then He’s wrong. Kubrick made that film great.

To be fair, Kubrick apparently harassed King while making it so I'm not surprised King hates the film.

I also don't think he has any room to judge after "Maximum Overdrive". That wasn't the usual excuse of "somebody f*cked up adapting Kings work". No, that movie was directed by King.

Jack was the only thing that saved the Shining Movie.

Nah, everything about the film was perfect.

Yes. I agree. The Shining is a better movie then Infinity War.

If everything about it was perfect...how is Avengers superior?

Higher levels of perfection. Perfect horror film can’t compete with a perfect MCU film.

Technically a perfect film would have no mistakes.

Inf War was fun but had lots of stupid parts. So Shining Wins I guess.

A horror film and an MCU film aren’t the same levels of perfection. Stop with the crybaby nonsense over my preferences. Get a life.

I don't care about your preferences little one. I'm just letting you know you have a strange definition of perfect. I guarantee you there were mistakes made in Infinity Wars.

Iyo not mine but you aren’t a diehard marvel guy I am. You lack passion for anything really other than complaining about all these evil corporations trying to keep you down, loserboy.

Yes. I still have the ability to make honest opinions on the reality of what I see.

You have LOST THAT!...If you ever had it to begin with.

Wait what? I love Kubrick and The Shining and have heard a lot about the behind the scenes drama, but never heard of Kubrick harassing King? Can you expand on that?

King generally doesn't understand what makes a good movie, he seems to resent filmmakers when they cut something out of the film that was in the book. Remember he approved of the pile of shit Shining miniseries because it was 'faithful'. He doesn't seem to understand that some things that work in a book won't work in a movie, Kubrick did understand that hence why he removed a lot of the more over the top stuff like plant monsters and shit.

Also full disclosure I'm not a fan of King as a writer, I don't like his writing style, comes off as a smart aleck during a lot of his narration and can be long winded.

He stressed Shelley Duvall so much that she had clumps of hair fall out, a clock work orange he knows Malcolm McDowell hates snakes so even though the character didn’t have a snake in the book he added one to the film for that reason
