Never saw Surfer, as far as I can remember.



Kid didn’t bother me in either version. Kids are so difficult to get a decent performance out of, especially young kids. I disliked that Kubrick killed Scatman Crothers. His death was meaningless. I also liked the dialog between Weber and the various ghosts better in the tv show. That Wendy killed Weber and he started to turn gray during his hunt for them was an interesting addition. The atmosphere, the intimidation from the hotel, and Duvall’s fear were great in the Kubrick, though...

For me, it’d take a lot of work to get my perfect version. Who knows, maybe now that It and Pet Cemetery came out, the shining will get a reboot...
