Damn, finished The Bear S2 and Carmy f*cked himself in the end. Damn. Maybe he's relieved?
Kuibrick never liked King's version of Jack and King HATED Kubrick's version of Jack."This scene has been interpreted many ways, and one of the most popular explanations is that it represents the hotel “absorbing” Jack's soul. Although this makes sense, Kubrick himself has said the photo actually suggests Jack being a reincarnation of an earlier official at the hotel."
"The reincarnated Jack explanation makes sense when going back to his conversation with Grady in the bathroom, where the butler tells Jack that he has “always been the caretaker.” This explanation for The Shining ending also fits with the role of both Grady characters mentioned in the film: the past caretaker and the ghost. The ghost is Delbert Grady, and the past caretaker was Charles Grady. Jack says he saw Delbert in the newspaper, and thus he is the reincarnation of Charles Grady.
While the explanation that Jack is in the photo at the end of The Shining because he's a reincarnated former employee makes sense, this isn't explained in the movie itself. It's also not immediately obvious when rewatching with that knowledge (unlike, say, The Sixth Sense, where rewatching with the knowledge that Bruce Willis's character is also dead completely changes the viewing experience). Kubrick's explanation for the Jack Torrance's appearance in the 1921 ballroom photo may be plausible, but it's also one of the few weaker elements of The Shining, as such a significant plot element could have been both further elaborated on and made more apparent."

I like the DC Animation series better than the DC movies and lately better than the Marvel movies and streaming series.
As great as she is, I don’t think people appreciate how good Emma Stone is at acting. There are some sequences in episode 1 of The Curse where the camera focuses on her face, and she conveys an entire spectrum of emotions without saying a word.Wow. We started it a couple weeks ago. Not finished yet but really dig it.
I also started The Curse - really interesting and cringy at times (definitely the vibe they’re going for). Emma Stone wears the hell out of some jeans too. It’s early but I like it. Emma will host SNL in two weeks and she is reliably awesome on there.
if you havent seen the other seasons in the series, will it be hard to watch season 5? I guess are all seasons independent or are they build upon each other? tia
@BobPSU92 will be right back. He’s getting his tongs.Jon Hamm with nipple rings!
