Luckily I was like 17 when I started reading King and I never really expected to be scared to to death. I had already seen movies like Poltergeist at 8 years old. I just wanted good stories and that is what I got.

Stanely Kubrick:"In the book Wendy Torrance is depicted as an intelligent, gorgeous, blonde, model type. But with these features the reader wonders why she's been married to a creep like Jack for so long. The ending of the book seemed very hackneyed to me.

I liked the book The Shining and the tv made remake best of all. The Kubrick film is good but Kubrick instead chooses to focus only on the horror effects and not as much on the characters as the book does. So I thought the remake got that part better.

I'm looking for the entire The Shining mini series because I've never watched it before. Does anyone know where I can find it?

The WMO of Typhoon Committee retires "Fitow" when due to high death toll in Zhejiang(Including: Ningbo Floods, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and more), the WMO of Typhoon Committee chooses "Mun" replaced "Fitow"

King is spot on about the movie, its a nihilistic take on his book.

This was great. I am a humanities major, homeschooler, and classical educator. There is a lot of philosophy and human inspection in King's work. He IS literary and not just scary. If you can truly scare a reader it is from a place of human observation. In The Shining, he makes the reader care about all three characters. One sees one's self as a spouse, as a sinner, as a parent, as a child. One feels the negative self talk, and the helpful "voices". It IS a warm book, and the film IS a cold film. The film is not made for the story but for the art. OK. I just think that if you want to do so, then get your own story and don't redrum someone else's. I hate that one form of art wants respect but is crafted at the disrespect and consumption of another. Kubrick didn't make his film for money the same way King didn't write his book for cash. They are both artists. I just wonder what The Shining could have looked like if they had collaborated and respected the artifact of the story with the art of film.

The first book i read from cover to cover was the shining at age forty.

What hit home with doctor sleep was how Danny was a binge drinker and his father was an alcoholic

very stupid book, lets face it, you were briliant you are now just old man that make nonsense stories

When King said ''Love creates horror'' - sorry but that isn't always true. At least in movies.

I thing, King Sir is being too harsh with the film...God knows what was his problem with Stanley Kubrick, personally👆

it ended just as it got good. cool.

I first started at age 9

I get why Stephen King is mad about Stanley's version of the shining, I mean, he completely changes wendy and cuts out a lot of the story, but when Stephen King made the mini-series I thought it was boring, when it comes to books you need to explain it but when it comes to video you need to explain it visually not through speech. In Stanley's version, there was a lot more action but in Stephen's version 50% of the mini-series was just talking. Either way, I respect both creators I just think the mini-series was boring. Hate me all you want but at the end of the day it's just my opinion.

YALL GOTTA REALIZE THAT THESE WRITERS AND DIRECTORS ARE HERE TO TELL US WHATS REALLY HAPPENING IN OUR REALITY AND IT IS UNIVERSAL LAW THAT WE ARE GIVEN TRUTH AND THIS IS HOW THEY DO THAT , THEY PUT THE TRUTH IN OUR FACE IN OUR ENTERTAINMENT AND A PEEFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THIS MOVIE DR. SLEEP, AND WHAT THEY ARE TELLING US IS VERY REAL JUST LOOK AT ALL THE MISSING CHILDREN IN US ALONE !VERY SICKENING TRUTH BECAUSE THERE ARE BEINGS THAT ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO IN THIS MOVIE AND IT IS DEEP HOW THEY KNOW HOW TO FIND THESE CHILDREN IN THE ASTRAL PLAIN OR OUR DREAMS ! AND THEY MURDER THEM AND PUT AS MUCH FEAR IN THE CHILD WHILE THEY ARE DOIN IT SO THE HIGH THEY GET IS MIRE INTENSE AND THEY LIVE FOR ALONG TIME ! THIS IS VERY REAL PEOPLE AND THE ONES WHO ARE DOIN THIS ALOT OF YOU IDOLIZE LIKE ACTORS , ACTRESS'S , POLITICIANS, QUEENS , KINGS , AND PEOPLE OF THAT NATURE !!! THATS REAL TALK N I ALL WE CAN DO IS WAKE UP AND SEE TRUTH BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY ! BUT KARMA ALWAYS COME BACK AROUND IN THIS REALM SO THEY ALL WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY IF THEY HAVENT BEEN DEALT WIT ALREADY , I CAN PROMISE THAT MUCH !

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjXnIGPbdV7bK8 - fastforward to October 29 2019 Stephen King amused to promote this movie and the sequel Doctor Sleep

Stephen King loves the film, but he doesn’t like the adaptation of his novel.

I don’t know why people hyped him. He’s mediocre at best and if it wasn’t for Kubrick he’s just another run in the mill horror writer

The shining is one of my favorite films. Just came back from watching Doctor sleep. Slow brew but very good 👌

2:07 I love how Stephen King doesn’t hide his true feelings about what he thought about The Shining

I'm so glad he feels the same way as I do with The Shining movie.

I wish they would have done a Stephen King approved version of the shining movie and then done a sequell to that

We don't care Stephan King. Kubrick's The Shining is better then anything you have ever written. Its like 50 years later and your still bitching about it lol. You write books for the house wives to buy at the super market. You wrote a pre teen gang bang in "IT" Who's the cold one? Get the fuck over it. Hes dead and you still don't miss the chance to dis it. He made you waaay more famous. Your just a grown up cry baby hippie coke head. GET FUCKED! The TV shining was TERRIBLE. and honestly all of your books are boring and you pushed them out so fast that they have no soul. Did i say GET FUCKED already?

Awesome scuffle!

I’m not a cold guy either. Blood is warm, and therefore it should be experienced.

I'm still waiting for the third installment of The Talisman.

The movie is better don't @me

Kubrick's film is awesome but it does cut some interesting stuff

I LOVE you Stephan King but you are SOOOOOO wrong!!! Kubricks film was a masterpiece

I think Kubricks the shining was 1k fold scaier than anything king wrote. The fact that king cant appreciate it shows what a total dbag he is. While kubrick appreciated kings books and made a movie which made king more famous, King can`t appreciate arguably one of the scariest and best horror movies ever made= total Dbag and all from ego..

KING has no idea what horror is. Maximum Overdrive is evidence.

I respect the hell out of king but i disagree with him entirely. The shining is a deep and amazing movie

Pinay workers are often better educated and certainly more cultured than their Singapore employers.

I never liked Stanley Kubrick's version of the Shinning either. It didn't make any sense to me. Plus it didn't have the character Horace Derwent which was a main attribute to the book.

I just started Doctor Sleep so I'm not too sure. But I have read the shining, and I have read IT. I think it would be awesome to see Danny Torrence meet IT. It seems that the losers club, specifically Bill had a bit of the shine. But someone like Danny that can create lock boxes would prove to be very dangerous to something like IT. It'll never happen, but fuck. What a cool idea to think about. Anyone else wonder if Maturin the turtle is responsible for giving people 'the shine?'

"love creates horror"

"love creates horror" best and truest thing ive ever hears

I love King but he looks like a character from a Dr. Seuss book.

im glad hes a Red Sox fan hes scary .

Always remember that, at his core, King is a STORYTELLER. People emphasize his horror writing, but his characters are so complex, you can't say they are all good or all bad. They are all human. King has a real gift for really bringing his characters to life in a believable way. He also has the rare gift, as a male writer, of getting into the female mind in a believable way. He can write about any age group and sound true. He is truly a genius.

I didn't like it I dreamed for years of the sequel, I felt Wendy and jack was bad casting

king should not meddle with cinema ... it bs an art form he does not understand ... just watch the shinning tv serials ...

I would love to see king write a sequel to It where penny wise returns. ALways felt there was the potential to do that.

I respect both creators. Kubrick and King I mean. Both created truly groundbreaking material, even if there are strong differences between them. King had a set story in place, and Kubrick read that story but saw it in a completely different light, he had his own interpretation of the novel; actually, he had his own version of the book which was created only for film. Both are creative geniuses and their work shows it greatly.

I'm 10 and I really didn't think The Shining or 'Salem's lot were really that scary. I'm not saying that they were bad, but they didn't scare me at all.

I feel sad. I'm completely immune to horror films and books. I enjoy them, but I don't get scared
