I'm so glad that I spent my childhood in the '80s. The movies, the music, the TV shows, the toys- all great stuff.
Same. We are luckier than we could ever have known, at the time. Born late enough to not be technologically lost today. Early enough to KNOW how good (in some ways) the younger generations have it now. We had to use our imaginations and have patience, but society was far enough along to give us tools to do so, and be rewarded for the wait(s).
It took weeks (or longer) to do a good research paper, had to draw our own maps in video games, was stressed to have good penmanship, had to write letters to our grandparents, were allowed to explore the woods, go out by ourselves (some of us, depending on where you lived) and have adventures in our bikes.
We were taught lessons and saw cool battles in Transformers (awesome profile pic, by the way!), GI Joe, Thundercats, and Masters of the Universe. Wondered at the practical effects and puppets of The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Big Trouble In Little China. Thought BA Barracas had the coooolest van, MacGyver had the best plans, and Air Wolf (also Iron Eagle, anyone?) was the most awesome thing in the sky!
Danny and Mr. Miyagi got us into karate, Chuck got us into taekwondo, and Rocky taught us to never give up.... and also how to win at arm-wrestling. Mikey and the Goonies took us on an adventure. The Monster Squad showed us how to fight off the forces of evil... and that the Wolfman, indeed, has nards. And we cried with Elliot when E.T. nearly died. Not me though! I didn't cry... something was in my eye...
Thank God I was an 80's kid!
@@rolmodel12. WOLFMAN HAS NARDS??😱
@@CommodoreFloopjack78 😁😆 sure does! Annnd, turns out, getting blown apart 'tis merely a flesh wound. 😉

@@CommodoreFloopjack78 yes! That damn shwubberwey 🤣
I loved the 80's decade I was born in 1967 spent the kids years during the 70's and teenage years in the 80's.
Trivia: The opening scene was filmed in Glacier National Park in the summer of '79 by the second unit crew. Some of the unused footage was given to Ridley Scott to use for the studio mandated happy ending in the theatrical cut of Blade Runner.
Coincidentally, the John Belushi film, Continental Divide was being filmed there at the same time. John was at the lakeside campground when the helicopter was flying overhead. We helped the two different crews move equipment. It was a very memorable experience. The brief shot of a passing car included in the Blade Runner theatrical cut was actually test footage taken of crew being driven to lunch.( with Ford and Young added in later)
Classic movie! Those twin girls always creeped me out!
They're not twins if they're 8 and 10.
@@blackamerican40 that’s what James Bond said in the interview, but clearly they are twins. One of the many mistakes in the film. Just like Grady’s first name was different.
They weren't twins because they were aged 8 and 10.
@@TheVidkid67 that was one of the mistakes in this movie. Just as Charles Grady name changed to Delbert Grady was another.
You know, the case could be made that the power of Shelley Duvall's performance stems from the fact that we are seeing her actually suffer a nervous breakdown that she has still not recovered from even now, more than 40 years later. Kubrick put her through hell.
There is so many great horror movie's from the 80's. I really like this video series and I hope there's alot more episode's. The shining is one of my favorite stanley kubrick movie's along with full metal jacket and 2001. A clockwork orange is probably my favorite though. I haven't seen barry lyndon or dr. strangelove but I would like to see them both.
The movie's whole atmosphere was creepy. Even when nothing bad was happening, you could feel nothing was ok about anything to the point that it feels like an actual nightmare.
One of the best things I ever did with this movie was watching it in VR, I love love love the background music you chose with this and this movie is one of my favorites!! Remember... All work and no play makes Jack a Dull boy!
This movie always scared the bejesus out of me, definitely one of the best horrors ever, though it wasn't as fun to film for poor Shelley Duvall.
she had it coming to her
"All work and no JoBlo Horror make Jack a dull boy."
Jack Nicholson was awesome in this.The cinematography was also amazing.
I'm really enjoying this series. Well done, guys.
I love that 80s horror theme synthwave playing in the background
oh, and for the record this is kubricks best movie. fight me.
classic of classics. my dad used to mess with me and do redrum redrum
This movie and Jaws are the 2 movies in my lifetime that have always made me uneasy. It really comes down to 2 scene's between the 2.
THE SHINING HAS IT ALL THE ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS GUSHING OUT BLOOD, THE NAKED WOMAN TURNS INTO A CORPSE, REDRUM, THE GHOST BARTENDER, JACK GOING STARK RAVING MAD AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE FREAKING HEDGEMAZE WHAT MORE CAN I SAY MORE ABOUT THIS FILM. I HAVE THIS MOVIE ON DVD AND HOME VIDEO AND IT KEEPS PULLING ME BACK FOR MORE.
I will love this movie forever. I watch it every first snowfall
"Give me the bat, Marge. Give me the bat.
Give me the bat. Come on. Give me the bat.
Give me the bat, bat, ooh.
Scaredy-cat"
What a movie this was, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRREEEEEEEEEEEES Johnny, is there a more iconic line in horror? Not many! Great movie!
It is about the societal collapse of the nuclear family after no fault divorce in the mid-70s. It is about the inevitable split of this vulnerable family and how that affected Danny witnessing it.
Age of Video 2 was my rental spot
My favorite movie!
Thanks for the Video 😀
Kubrick's vs King's- Jack with an axe is way scarier. Jack with a croquet mallet isn't, the "Heathers" were more threatening.
I never found The Shinning to be very scary, but the feeling of something being wrong that permeates it is something I wish more horror movies would do. It messes with the audiences head just as the hotel messes with the characters' heads.
The "Room No. 237" rearranges to spell "Moon or 7/23" according to the moon landing theory. July 23, 1969 was the date of the moon landing. The theory is that they hired Kubrick, fresh from his experience on "2001," to set up the moon landscape and footage.
The shining never scared me it fascinated me.I sore it when I was mabe 13 and it is my favourite horror film of all time.Lost count of how many times I have seen it.
CLASSIC.
Loving this series so far dudes, looking forward to more👍
Hotels commonly have atriums. The window could be leading to one of them. Most of the time, hotels have windows leading everywhere even "inside" the main structure.
That's no trike... That's a Big Wheel!😉
I like this series.
Thanks JoBlo team.
You're welcome!
What's funny is I tend to think of The Shining more in the context of the drive in scene in Twister lol I still get freaked out by night time storms because of it😂
The Shining actually bombed at the theater when it came out in the theaters. It was later on that ppl turned it into a timeless classic.
I think this film is definitely Kubricks masterpiece. It is highly nuanced and layered and I feel that a lot of the ideas put form in "Room 237"are valid. I do think it is possible the Kubrick may have filmed the moon landing, but not because it was faked, but more of a dramatic re-enaction. We definitely went to the Moon because there is simply too much hard science to back it up. We have never been told the true extent of what we found there and there may be coded or symbolic allusions to that fact and what we actually found there in "The Shining."
%100 Agree with everything you just said. Factor in how the US was trying to beat Russia in the moon race, it makes a lot of sense why they would film a reenactment. At the very least it was a strategical ploy to show the whole world that the US had in fact won the moon race broadcasting visual proof
I thought to mention my own experience between reading the book and watching the movie. "The Shining" was the second novel by Stephen King I ever read (after Salem's Lot) and also the second screen adaptation I saw of his work (the first also being Salem's Lot). In the video, it was noted that we (the audience) held on to our sympathy for Jack Torrance much longer in the book than in the movie. I've always thought much of that lingering sympathy is a result of being shown a great deal more of Jack's interior life, so to speak, in the book than we see in the movie. Jack becomes a figure of unease and even dread for the audience pretty quickly in the movie as opposed to the book, and it's for this very reason. Jack is very opaque to the audience in the movie. Simply put, I love both versions (and the storytelling choices that were made) but for different reasons.
Yes, I agree the book gave us so much more to pity in Torrance. Also, the movie had Nicholson, bringing his own larger-than-life aspect to the character, who was so over the top that the audience's feelings were sent down a completely different path. Like you, I find both book and film mesmerizing all around.
(The later TV miniseries was closer to the book in a lot of ways; I like it also, but the casting had some issues IMO.)
"Salem's Lot" is STILL one of my favorites of his. Of his short works (not counting his collections, or the Green Mile which was released in segments initially), I think it IS my favorite.
Also, "The Shining" was the second King novel for me as well. My first being "Christine" which was, admittedly, more disturbing to me than a story about a possessed car had any right to be.
The funniest thing about Kubrick is I thought he was British for the longest time and just recently found out he was American
Needless to say I was a bit disappointed 😮
The Iron Maiden mention makes me wonder if Fallon wrote this script 😂
He had some input as producer 😊
"The 1980's in middle class America is by far and away the best decade of mankind and or any kind when you think about it 🤔" - GOD
The freezer that Dick and Wendy enter has windows beside the door on the outside, but no windows inside.
I loved the 80's but the 90's had better music. I love 80's music as well though. Last millennia rocked. 👍
I will always love this movie Top 5 easy. But the mini series is better when compared to the book
I'm reading The Making of The Shining from Lee Unkrich's $1500 box set of The Shining.
Apparently, Kubrick throwing books isn't real. He read the story while it was still in galley form and called The Shine.
Also, it was Jack Nicholson who thought it would be funny for him to be reading a Playgirl in that scene.
In another 800-page book, Studies in the Horror Film: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, many of the crew would ask Kubrick about inconsistencies in the film during production and he'd just shrug, laugh and say, "It's just a ghost story."
But what a film he made!
I can't think of " The Shining" without thinking of The Shinning...lmbo
The book is more focused on supernatural elements, but the film is all psychological hallucinations suffered by all three because of the isolation. Also the two girls aren't twins because they're aged 8 and 10.
Love the background music in your videos!
Thank you!
I remember, as a kid, that the music in the opening credits, which are unnerving enough, frightened me. Kubrick was such a stickler for detail, obsessive actually, that things like the impossibility of the office etc cannot be an oversight. The movie is filled with these things, some which are mentioned in this vid. One that I personally like, and maybe cos I'm a smoker, is the improbable position of the cigarette in the ashtray as Jack is typing. No smoker I know does that - a small detail perhaps - but does it hint at another presence? 1980: wow! We got The Shinning as well as Friday the 13th, Alligator and my own personal favourite, Dressed to Kill
Thia extremely creepy. As a kid I was terrified whenever it aired on Tv. When I found out Kings dislike of the movie and the directors methods I was surprised and felt so bad for Shelley
Not a theory, but here's another interesting rumor; allegedly, some of the mountain-shots in the opening were originally filmed for 'Bladerunner', and Kubrick apparently bought some of the unused B-roll for use in his movie. Also, no mention of 'Dr. Sleep' at all...? =)
You are completely wrong. It happened the other way around.
@@tawnieriekena7 I mentioned it was a rumor. There's no actual proof one way or the other. But it was still worth mentioning.
@@BuckarooBanzai84 there is proof. Watch the extra features on the bluray.
@@tawnieriekena7 I didn't deny your assertion. But technically, I was still correct that an exchange occurred. However, that's still a useful bit of information. Thank you for sharing it.
Epic video, JoBlo Horror!!!
Can you guys tell me who performs the song used as the background in this video?
Please and thank you!!
💀💀💀💀💀
Forgot another one.... cocaine.
Kubrick's film is objectively superior to King's novel. I recently read it for the first time in years, & it is worse than I remember. There is so much cheese from beginning to end, as are the cliches. The so called "complex" characters are standard formulaic cliches. King likes to say its an emotional story, but it is absolutely manipulative. Jack is frankly, truly despicable & not sympathetic at all. One bit I forgot was when he beats that Hatfield kid to a pulp for slashing his tires, King also talks about how they had a dispute before the tire incident, Jack cut him from the debate team for stuttering, & even mocks his stutter.
The stupid end where Jack "comes good" just as he is about to kill Danny & tells him he loves him & to run away is really phony & stupid. Add on top of that the explosion, it is very cliche & cheese. King likes to bash Shelley Duvall's Wendy as being stupid, yet there is nothing intelligent about his written character either. She is also not very interesting either (she has mummy issues, which is also cliche). She goes down to the kitchen to get some food for her & Danny, but afterwards, goes to find Jack, which leads to her being nearly choked to death. At least Duvall's Wendy managed to survive without being touched by Jack & without help from Hallorann.
King still cries about Kubrick 40 years later. His ignorant comments in The Outsider really was infuriating, where he writes for his stupid detective character, that Kubrick wasn't taking risks on Barry Lyndon or The Shining. It'd have been far easier & less risky to make a straight adaptation of King's cheesy book, & anyone who knows anything about filmmaking would know the immense challenges of making Barry Lyndon.
King can't get over how so much of the imagery in Kubrick's film were his own ideas, or improved from his overrated book. The Redrum scene is far creepier in Kubrick's film, & less in your face. In the book, King hammers it in your face to the point where its overdone, so the reveal of what redrum actually is isn't a big deal.
King has written some good (or even great) books, such as Salem's Lot, It, & The Stand, but The Shining is not one of them. Kubrick took a work of hack fiction & did something interesting with it.
Still scares me. Can’t watch it on my own.
I pretty much ended up running the video store I worked at. Ippy’s Video
Rob Ager does a handful of fantastic videos analyzing of The Shining. Check them out asap!
The trivia at 18:27 is not true. According to Steadicam operator Garrett Brown on the blu ray commentary, the 'frozen Jack' shot was done with a highly realistic prop. Behind the scenes photographs seem to support this.
Prom night 1980 never gets credit for helping launch the 80s slasher boom if was a very profitable hit Friday the 13th was huge in May of 1980 and prom night was a success in July of 1980
Fall of the Soviet Union. I think that might be important.
Forgive me, but the linguist in me is compelled to point out that "Mise en scene"is pronounced "Meez on senn" not "Meezay" it is similar to the culinary term "Mise en place" or setting in place-- describing the prep work done before the cooking actually begins.
Just curious... you mention, that you work in the movie business. Would love to know more about that 😊
The Shinning
2:20 In fairness, his ex wife did that too.
I think Stephen King's out to lunch on hating this movie, it's far better than the book. In the book there's no hedgemaze but hedges that are shaped as animals that come to life? Wtf. And as likeable character as Dick Halloran is, it's way too predictable that he comes to save them at the end. I much prefer when he gets that completely unexpected axe to the chest :)
I appreciate this film in terms of directing, cinematography, score, etc, but I maintain that The Shining isn't scary in the least. It wasn't scary as teen, it isn't scary now.
Barry Lyndon and the Shining were both bombs at the theater come to think about it. However Full Metal Jacket was a fair hit. I think Kubrick is extremely overrated. I'm a horror fan. The Shining was and is very frightening. It's disturbing in many ways. The imagery, the jump cuts to strange and creepy shit, them twins! Dam scary little shits. The way he filmed the movie was genius. Especially when it came to making ppl uneasy. And yes! He's right, it's very creepily hypnotic! However being a horror fan, I gotta say that Full Metal Jacket was equally as good. And I seen the behind the scenes and boy he really treated Shelly like complete shit throughout the whole shoot. I mean for her not to just get up and quit is a testament to how professional she is. She's also such a a super nice person in real life. I mean Kubrick was known for doing way more takes than needed. Some days were just take after take of the same scenes. He did this to Shelly. And he basically targeted all his frustrations on her. She really wasn't the same after working with Kubrick. I'm sure she thought the guy hated him. And I'm sure you can probably get the genuine acting needed to make the actors believable once they get beyond a certain point. And they are really basically going mad in real life and Kubrick captures that on the screen. But honestly how he talked to and handled Shelly throughout the whole shoot was very unprofessional and very nasty and mean and cold. She almost basically had a nervous breakdown filming this. And of course it was because she and everyone else wanted to work with this highly overrated director Stanley Kubrick. I recently watched A Clockwork Orange. It was okay. And I'm sure Kubrick did a lot of homework and knew about what was going on behind the scenes in Hollywood and MK Ultra. As a matter of fact Clockwork came out in the theaters around the time that ppl were really being test subjects more so than now with MK Ultra and LSD. Like Charles Manson and so on. Then Eyes Wide Shut. Another very overrated film that Tom Cruise and his at the time wife Nicole Kidman had to work with this overrated movie maker. And yes, it definitely had a few interesting aspects in the film. However the biggest aspect was what we know now about ppl in very high places. And some of the rituals and very questionable actions that are going on there. And Stanley was obviously well aware of this as well. A d what's even more interesting is that he suddenly passed away before the movie was released. It still came out obviously. But in conspiracy. It seemed that maybe he knew way to much and maybe some of these ppl in high places didn't want to be exposed. Or maybe they didn't want things they may do at their parties to be known. I just think it's bizarre now that we look back on it and what we know now about the super elite rich and especially these elites in Hollywood and what we've found out about them a bit. As the real curtain has given us a slight peep. It's just as messed up, or possibly more messed up than the movie itself.
See this how you know the film really isn't about anything. People are so desperate to see something in this film that they start making up all these theories to fill in the gaps...
Why is the audio from the clips and commentary generally much lower in volume than the narration? I keep having to adjust the volume to hear certain parts. Try balancing the volume when editing these videos; this is a problem with a lot of your videos, not just this one.
So why is Freddy in prison?
im still lost was the moon landing fake?
is that guy wearing a shirt of himself?
The Shining is highly overrated. It's not a bad film, but it's not a masterpiece, and it's certainly not scary.
5:52 You're a grown man 😐
the throwing the books against the wall story is false.
Sorry A. but this movie is BORINNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!
Craig Perry is extremely over acting in like every interview that he's talking about movies in. It's an interview Craig. Not an audition. Be yourself and talk like your self. Not a character of your self LMAO!! It's just a bit distracting. And he's taking about horror movies in each one. It's like he had lined to read, and he's saying them. Except he's really turning himself up to eleven. Like DUDE! You shouldn't even be reading lines it's your opinion. And if he's not reading lines, than sure, be descriptive but you don't have to over act when you're saying what you think. I just find it funny. Especially when that other guy in the video is just so nonchalant and believable. Ntm he doesn't have to talk as if he's an actor.
How many times are you going to mention your local mom and pop video rental store and how they let you rent whatever you wanted?
I've watched the first 5 minutes and isn't about the Shining. It's about Blockbuster and you skateboarding. Get on with it.
One of the greatest movies of all time. When I was a kid I had a domineering stepfather. When this came out it was chilling because I never knew id he was going to snap 🫰😛
"Look at me, I studied film. I'm awesome."
no it started in the late 70s
We never went to the moon
most of what you are talking about started with giallo... bay of blood the first slasher ever, way before halloween.... know kubrix shining was an alagory of westward exapansion, not anything to do with the book.... hey milenial, dig deeper
