Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies

I don't know what any of that meant, but here's my Room 237 review from JC: by pinback 03/30/2013, 9:35pm PDT Room 237 is a documentary of a bunch of fucking lunatics reading WAAAAAAAY too much into Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". I can't tell if the filmmaker wants us to get on board with these crazy motherfuckers or make fun of them. I spent most of the movie doing the latter. Themes range from: 1. The Shining is really about the slaughter of American Indians. 2. The Shining is really about the Holocaust. 3. The Shining is really about Stanley Kubrick admitting to faking the moon landing video. ("I believe we went to the moon, just that the video was faked" is the guy's way of getting out of Buzz Aldrin punching him in the fucking face.) 4. A bunch of other crazy horseshit. Of these, #3 was the most entertaining, mainly because it has the most realistic chance of being true. Anyway, this got way better reviews than it deserves. If you find any of the theories compelling or interesting, you need to be locked up with the rest of them, and if you agree we're all supposed to just laugh at these jackasses, well, it didn't take an hour and 49 minutes to convince us. TWO (**) STARS.
