Room 237 Documentary

Have you guys heard about this documentary? It examines all the wack-a-doo theories about hidden meanings buried in "The Shining." But then again, who am I to say they're wack-a-doo? I don't know that I believe Kubrick put hidden messages about the faked moon landing or the Holocaust into the movie, but I do appreciate that he leaves his movies open ended enough for these kind of interpretations and analysis.

Anyway, it's playing at a festival in New York soon before getting a actual release - Morgan, if the planets align would you be interested in seeing this with me?

Here is the NY Times write-up.





And just for good measure, here is one of those wack-a-doo theories. Again, don't know that I buy it, but I like how much attention this guy is paying to the details. The thing about the blue scarf in "2001" blew my mind.
