"She is the size of Olive Oyl!" That's perfect, because she did play Olive Oyl in the movie Popeye opposite Robin Williams, and she was the spitting image of the cartoon.
I’m have to look her up bc I had no clue before today lol
Lol. I was about to comment on that as well.
She was in " Nashville " too.
I thought that same thing when he said that.
How random, I lost it when he said that. Lmao
I think everyone involved in the making of this film would consider your reaction to it the highest form of compliment. You were disturbed, disgusted, unsettled, and terrified. Your commentary is always hilarious man. Keep up the good work!
They did a wonderful job with this movie. It was definitely a fun watch and I greatly appreciate the compliment
Absolutely 💯 👍 🥰
I think Mr Kubrick would be please, his vision haunted millions. Anyone that wants to watch a series that leans heavily on Kubrick’s writing and directing should watch FXs “LEGION”
Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of all time!!
"Crazy don't get tired"
So much wisdom in that line
Lol thank you
"Crazy can do some incredible things" 😂
I really love the extra touch of how you always choose something from the movie to cover your mouth for the bleeps
🤣😂its funny
Lol me and Blank (editor) we always talk about different things to use from the movie. We like to keep people guessing. He’s does a great job at it
Lol I came here to say the same thing 🤣
Yes. The movie-appropriate bleep-mouthcovers on this channel are awesome.
My favourite so far is for Fargo. You have to pause to see what it is, but it's hilarious.
@@tubularap That was one of the ones I REALLY had to shrink down, but I felt it was worth it. It had to be the leg. LoL
I have never laughed so much watching The Shining ever 😂
Lmaoo. He’s so funny
I don't think I've EVER laughed watching this movie until NOW. lol
@BeboRulz The one scene I find hilarious is where Jack is in the cooler trying to get sympathy from Wendy by saying she hit him too hard and needs a doctor.
You're too harsh on Wendy bro. She's weak, fragile, and docile by nature. That's the character. It's crazy impressive how she was able to assert herself this strongly and save her kid despite all of this insane shit happening all around her
In the book she's STRONG, broken ribs and wrist and fights jack multiple times
Let's not forget that she dragged him all the way to the kitchen and locked him in the store . She's an amazing mother .
Shelley Duvall was abused horribly on set by Kubrick...it scarred her for life.
Dude, I got to tell you.. I watch several movie reactors, but usually only when they do a movie that I like. With you, I pretty much watch anything you watch because it's going to be funny as hell. I can't think of anyone I'd rather sit around in real life and watch a movie with.
Dude I greatly appreciate that. It means a lot to me. Thank you and I’m glad you been enjoying
“If I drive 3 1/2 hours for a job interview, you better change my tax bracket.” 😂
Lol I’m just saying. That’s a hell of a ride for minimum wage or anything close to it.
@@J_EOMReacts I might do it for a job like that, where I get housed & fed for 7 months & all I need to do is check on a few things, once or twice a week. As long as you’re ok with being ‘cooped up’ in tens of thousands of square feet, that seems like a pretty nice gig, plus you can’t spend any money when you’re there, so you’ll get a big lump sum of money at the end.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 once they say the last dude went crazy and Indian burial ground ✌🏾✌🏾
He wasn't even watching the hotel she was she was the one taking care of everything he was just slowly slipping into insanity😁
🤣🤣🤣 you absolutely right
watching the hotel, she was*
16:14 To answer your question, she's doin the job that Jack was hired to do, because Jack wasn't actually doing the job.
I read the book and it was terrorizing. The black dude wasn't supposed to die. He went there to rescue them and he got them out. Great reaction!
Yep, the psychic cook did live in the book until he was very old. He went to Danny’s college graduation I believe.
@@tamiwatchesstuffHe stayed a part of their lives until he died, yeah. It's in the sequel novel Doctor Sleep, which is about Danny as an adult
Partially due to Jack using a croquet mallet instead of an axe.
One of the changes I hated. His character was essential.
"Why have they left this little boy with this stranger?" "Why they keep letting this little boy run off by himself?" It was 1980. We left the house after breakfast and didn't come home until just before the street lights came on. Our parents didn't know where we were and we had no cell phones. It was a glorious time! I was 10 when I saw this and it gave me nightmares, but is still one of my favorites. Scatman Crothers' explanation of what "Shining" means was easy for me to understand, so when the hotel started to "shine," it was that much more scarier. Funny you should mention Wendy is the size of Olive Oil because Shelly Duvall went on to play Olive Oil in Popeye, co-starring Robin Williams. And don't be so hard on her. Shelly suffered a nervous breakdown after filming because director Stanley Kubrick broke her while trying to get the perfect take.
Yeah I heard they done some horrible things to her after I watched this. Like I honestly feel bad for her. And I had no idea she played her until we did the premiere and somebody said it in the live chat lol
It was that kind of attentive parenting that got a little girl killed and eaten by Albert Fish.
*1977
@@Sweet_Venom0027 Pretty sure kids whose parents are helicopter parents still suffer tragedy with their kids. Just saying.
J…Wendy is not the worst mother of all time!🙂 IN THE 70’s, women didn’t exactly have a whole lotta say what their husband’s did for employment & had to go along-whether they wanted to or not. She was trapped in that hotel, with no means of contacting another person. Nobody - I mean NOBODY thinks their husband’s soul is attached to the hotel & the other trapped souls are gonna warp his mind, turning him into an axe murderer, ok?!😃 He. Told. Her. He. Was. Going. To. Bash. Her. Brains. In. After she TRIED to get help for Danny. She was terrified. Yet she smacked him w/the bat AND dragged the MF’er into the locked pantry. It was the ghost of Grady that let him out. Not Wendy. Wendy’s a freaking G. As far as Dick Holleran goes: he’s one of my favorite characters of all time. In the book he travels for a day & a half, on a snowmobile(!), in the dead of night, in blizzard conditions just to save Danny. Bc Danny is special. Tony is just the name Danny gives to his ability (he’s a little boy & doesn’t understand) to communicate with spirits & telepathically to alive people who Shine. Stephen King likes to have secondary characters that u fall in love with - the sweet old neighbor or the kind chef who tries to save the day or in Misery w/the sheriff(!)…and then he kills them. So I love Mr. Holleran. But maybe go a little easier on Wendy? She was in an impossible sitch…AND SHE DOES GET HER & DANNY TF OUTTA THERE, so…😉
I’m heard a lot of different things about Wendy since the premiere, I might have been a little hard on her lol
Great insights here. Wendy was a bit more strong minded in the book, but Jack did wear her self esteem down quite a bit with his drinking and partying over the years.
The thing with Jack's writing, when you think about it, is not that it shows he's gone insane. It's how long he's *been* going insane. That much typing takes a *lot* of time.
I don't think you're giving Wendy nearly enough credit, considering that she's been trapped in this abusive relationship for years, probably out of a misguided attempt to "keep things together" for Danny's sake. During the events of the movie, she's got years and years of trauma, gaslighting, self doubt and fear of Jack that she's having to confront all at once, and it can be extremely difficult for anyone to process that kinda stuff. Especially during a life-and-death situation like her's.
Plus jack blamed her for holding him back. The line where he called her " the old sperm receptacle" was dispicable. Jack was always evil & the hotel brought it out or gave him the nudge he wanted. He was a drunk who already hurt his son & was a fired english teacher for besting on a student. Basically a frustrated writer who got married had a kid tgen resented them. Sadly many people ger married b/c society will think they are weird or off. Who cares. How many gay men marry have kids than decide yea im.gay bye. Lesbians too ive just hesrd of more gay men doing it. Also jack in the book had a drunken dad as a kid who beat him.& his siblings & it made him nuts his mom would act like nothing happened. Cycle repeated. Sadly. In dr sleep the sequel danny becomes a drunk too.
This was absolutely the best movie reaction ever! ... 'it was built on an old Indian burial ground...' 'Oh hell no! that's some day 1 interview shit!... '
You say some of the funniest shit during these reviews.. I was crying..
Lol thank you. I’m glad you been enjoying.
Lol I’m just saying you can’t tell me that after I quit my last job and move my family up here.
@@J_EOMReacts Man you make WAY too much sense.Sometimes the truth is funniest.
@@J_EOMReacts great reaction! You do a great job with your channel and I love your dogs involvement in it as well. :) You should check out next Jack in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest which is a really good movie also! (from 1975)
"OH, you just remembered you had a baby?!?"- That took me allll the way out🤣🤣🤣🤣
The evil that dwells in the Hotel had been working on Jack for a long time, and broke down his mind until they could influence him. The Hotel wants the family but especially wants Danny, since he has the Shine. Which would empower the evil in the Hotel far more than it already has. The loud chanting sounds and the sudden appearance of all the ghosts near the end of the film, are them trying their best to distract and mentally assault Danny and Wendy. Trying to aid Jack in killing them, so they'll become apart of the Hotel.
During the filming, Stanley Kubrick told the crew and rest of the cast to avoid Shelley Duvall that plays Wendy. To socially isolate her, and would repeatedly do tons and tons of takes for a scene to wear her out mentally and emotionally. Kubrick wanted her acting to come off as genuine, which it was since she had an emotional and mental breakdown during filming. The pace of filming was also different than other films, to make everyone tired and stressed. Kubrick has many little tricks to try and force the cast to give far better performances than usual.
Steven King didn't like the film version, and also had issue with Kubrick being a director, since King believed that an atheist director would not be able to make a film about something supernatural. I don't know, I don't understand that logic, but Steven King was heavily into drugs back then, so maybe that's why he had that view.
There is another film, which goes with this one, called Dr. Sleep. Which is based on the sequel book to the Shining. With the film Dr. Sleep, they decided to make a version that would respect both the book and the film versions of the Shining, since they're a bit different, but both iconic in their own right. Dr. Sleep is pretty popular, and they did an excellent job of picking a cast that looked similar to the characters from this film, and did a good job of recreating the Overlook Hotel.
I feel like they leaned alittle to much into making it like a superhero movie in Dr. Sleep but I still enjoyed the film none the less.
@@jerichozeplin Yeah, I can definitely see that in the film. It has the same "learning how to use your superpower" that comic films have, and even the mentor of the superhero parts as well.
As muchas i like Ewan... They should have got DiCaprio for the role.
@@themudbloodjedi8390 I’m going to have to agree. Although he is a bit outside of their budget
The abuse of Shelly Duvall in the making of this movie is a pretty dark mark on Hollywood. It was pretty gross, and she didn’t consent to any of it.
"I would be hitting him until May 1st". Thanks for the laugh man!
Shelley duvall was actually so beautiful when she was younger like this. A different kind of beauty, not boring model beauty that every girl looks the same.
Her and anya taylor joy are beautys with non boring face structures
11:48 Look behind Jack. Wooden table behind him.......(next scene) wooden table gone! That's why the movie is so creepy, your subconscious picks up on the details that are out of order. There are several instance of this happening throughout the entire movie.
I dont know why, but Grady's casual and calm reaction of "that's strange, Sir; I dont have any recollection of that at all" to Jack saying he killed his family with an axe always amuses me
Can I just say, I absolutely love your dogs! They add so much to your reactions. Whether they are rooting around in the covers, comforting you through Silence of the Lambs or giving their own critique as we've seen here, they are a fun addition to your reviews!! 💙
Thank you for showing my babies love
Agreed
Love your dogs and how they just do their own thing but clearly always want to be around you.
They're gorgeous and the brown one's coat is so glossy - obviously well looked after.
@@fionamclaren8506 who says they probably wasn't 🤣 they clearly look loved
Poor Dick Halloran. He's so smart and so sweet. He's the only sane person... this hotel is built on an ancient burial ground, and Jack is NUTS. PLUS Dick is a black man, so generations of trauma is built-in. He's a kind man, and the only innocent person who dies in this film
The woman in the bathtub is the reason I've fried my hotdogs for almost twenty years as opposed to boiling them...
11:14 you trying to look around the corner had me 😂😂
33:01 the look on your face when Wendy left the knife 😂 priceless
"Is Tony a good guesser?" Im dead. LOL. This was a fun one
Lol I’m glad you enjoyed
JL: talking bout being nervous to watch now
Me: cackling like that naked witch in anticipation for his reaction 😆
🤣🤣🤣
"she is the size of Olive Oyl from Popeye" LMFAO.... That is funny considering (Shelley Duvall) she played Olive Oyl in the live action movie Popeye with Robin Williams (1980) Same year as this one!! HAHA... Either you knew that.. or you just made one of the funniest and most accurate comments I have ever heard!!
Lol I had zero clue she played Olive Oil. I just knew she was as skinny as the cartoon character. I didn’t find out she played her until the premiere when people was laughing about it in the chat
I made the same point. Shelly Duvall was indeed Olive Oyl in that old movie.
@@J_EOMReacts LMAO.. Ok.. it seemed like you were just making a joke.. and that's why I found it so damn funny!! Great call J.L!! haha
Surprised he didn't make a comment that Jack just flew over the cuckoo's nest.
"What's up with the bear costume?!"
Deleted scene from the novel. There's an extensive series of backstories for a lot of the ghosts in the hotel, including the lady in 237. In that case, there was a big company retreat to the hotel. A closeted gay man had a crush on his boss, the president of the company. Sort of a Smithers and Mr. Burns type deal. Well there was supposed to be a big costume party on the last night of the retreat, so the guy brought this stupid dog costume for the party. Only when he dresses up and goes to the party, it turns out it's not a costume party, but a 'fancy dress' party, tuxedos and the like. So everybody laughs at him, and he hangs out for awhile pretending it was all a prank on his part, but he realizes what a laughing stock he is, and goes back to his room and OD's on drugs, realizing his crush on his boss will never happen.
That makes sense bc when it popped up I was like damn that’s random
At some point in the last year or two I ran across an audio version of those backstories. Lots of creepy backstory and tragedy embedded into the soul of that Hotel.
+Michael Eco That is really freaking sad.
I thought it was symbolic of Jack abusing and molesting Danny but what you said makes more sense.
Thanks for jogging my memory on the dog suit gay guy. I’m not sure why in the movie the suit looks like a bear, but I suppose in death he gets to act on his secret crush on his boss in some way. In the movie without any context the scene looks just like a gay couple who is really into animal fetish bdsm kink. I do know that the mechanic guy Watson tells Jack the story of the Room 217 naked bathtub lady in the beginning of the book.
Never thought I'd watch someone react to this film and the whole time I'd be laughing! That was brilliant 😂
He was always the caretaker of the hotel, the hotel Shines and relives this event over and over.
They need to burn that hotel down
Those pups really love their Dad.
They my babies
you just can't be kissing no strange bitch. i fell off the bed with laughter on that one. your reactions are too funny
When the Word Tuesday pops up 🤣🤣🤣
"shut up, shut up, shut up" (with that grin) 🤣🤣
Absolutely LOVED it!!
🤣🤣🤣 that was embarrassing
@@J_EOMReacts lol, we all do it 😁
I made a reaction mashup of just that jump scare a couple months ago. That scene gets so many people.
Tbf tuesdays scares me too
The funny thing about that is that I've seen "Tuesday" jump scaring other reactors. Another one of Kubricks genius additions to the film.
I cant believe how hard I laughed. Especially with the "how'd you like some ice cream doc" Best movie reactions ever. 🤣
They hiding cause they know it's redrum time lol love when the doggy standing
I've seen this movie 20+ times over the years. It is still one of the most disturbing I've seen, but even more disturbing are some of the theories surrounding the hidden meanings therein.
Yeah I got told about a few today and it’s wild
I about lost it when you called a character played by Shelly Duvall Olive Oyl.
🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t know she played her
Bro you know what they was doing in that room. lol 😊
🤣🤣🤣 I know now but nah at the time had no clue what the hell what was going on with that bear
Hahahahahaha! Every reaction I've seen of this movie, they all jump at 'Tuesday'! Someone should make a compilation!
🤣🤣🤣 that makes me happy I wasn’t the only one
This was the best reaction to this movie I’ve ever seen!
Much appreciated!
I greatly appreciate that. Thank you
@@EOMReacts I’m just viewing this a year later and you’re hilarious. 😂
My man, only you could make this movie funny AF!!! Best damn reactor on CZcams.
It's never just said outright in the book, but Danny's full name is Daniel Anthony Torrance. And later, he recognizes his features in the face of the older Tony.
6:00 "This was the moment when he knew... He f*ed up!" ;)
🤣🤣🤣
“Never seen a young Jack Nickolas”, you still haven’t. He was 42 filming this movie. 😂
Lol the youngest I ever seen him. And 42 is still young considering how old he is
I laughed so much I had tears running down my face. ✌
Lol glad you enjoyed
facts. i just found his channel and man my chest hurts now from laughter. when he said was that a bear sucking off Grady. his reaction had me crying tears
KUBRICK-
And everyone else
Maybe Kurosawa
“DAMN... they got Oreos on there!?”
I’m dying
I love the classic Simpsons 'Treehouse of Horror' parody of this, where Homer is in the pantry eating and the ghosts have to drag him out and he doesn't want to leave xD
That jumpscare when it said Tuesday I fell outta my chair at work laughing, good stuff, earned my subscription
Much appreciated and welcome to the family!
And get used to JL jumping at everything. LoL
You said “you better get a German shepherd or something” lol 😂
Lol you not catch me on a bum leg
Since you havn't seen anty young Nicholson, "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" is a fine movie from his early work.
It’s on our list
Easy Rider is another good one with a young Jack Nicholson
Try his first film,Little Shop of Horrors. SO AWFUL IT'S GOOD!
@@kevinsmith4429 I was about to tell you WTF are you talking about? JN wasn't in Little Shop of Horrors, and 1986 was long after JN 1st appeared in a film, but you were so confident sounding I had to look it up. I see there was a 1960 film with the same name as the film about the talking plant. Another film so bad it was good, another thing that threw me off.
@@stanmann356 Hate to argue,but I have personally seen that movie more than I can stand it! It's the first one,he plays a guy who comes to the shop to have his tooth pulled.He's completely deranged to the point of insanity. He demands they pull his tooth without novocaine because he LOVES the pain,& I MEAN LOVES IT! It is his very first film appearance but you can see his future in his work. I think you referred to his version in the 1060. I promise I 'm not crazy,if you haven't seen this you MUST if you're a fan. He couldn't be more than 18.
Your horror movie reactions are so much fun. This one was the best. Hilarious commentary! Please watch John Carpenter’s The Thing (‘82). I’d freakin’ love to hear your thoughts during that film!
Oh, he’s def watching that. He’s got plenty of horror classics to go thru. Def one of his least watched genres.
@@EOMReacts And the Friday the 13th films! Those would be HILARIOUS!!!!!!
YOU GOTTA BE FXCKING KIDDING ME! One of the best horror film lines ever!
The Thing is amazing!
"Hit him 'til May 1st" LOVE IT!!!
Lol they would have open the doors and looked at me like I was crazy
@@J_EOMReacts but you'd be alive, so fair enough :)
- DONNIE BRASCO (1997)
- PRISONERS (2013)
- CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (2002)
💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
We got those on the list
Thanks my man! 👊🏽
Prisoners is great.
@@DH-xh3pgSo underrated
39:25 God, I love this part.
Lol Romulus had a lot to say
I chuckled when you jumped at the Tuesday jump scare.... But you telling me to shut up just made me laugh even more.
🤣🤣🤣 its embarrassing. A word scared me
I don't think Wendy was a bad mom at all. She saved Danny in that bathroom and spent the rest of her time in the hotel risking her own safety trying to find Danny.
Ty for the companionship, you and the co-piolets share with us. Always brings a smile.🙂
You’re very welcome. Glad we can make you smile
I needed this sooooo much today. I haven't laughed as hard as I did during the Rm 237 scene in a long time! You crack me up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Book Wendy was a lot tougher. On its own this is a good movie, but the book is incredible. A lot more explanation
I had to laugh at loud -- 'She's the size of Olive Oyl!' Yep, and she was the best thing, outside of the Nilsson soundtrack, about 'Popeye'.
I do love your reactions -- watching a large and decent man get all fired up and disturbed by... lighting, soundtrack, and Jack's eyebrows.
I just wish I could subscribe ten more times! I felt your heartburn, man.
Lol thank you I’m glad you been enjoying
Love seeing people loving his reactions.
I remember one movie critic who didn't like it much called Jack Nicholson's performance "acting by eyebrows".
this is the movie that has more "pack it up!" in your whole channel lol! love you!!!
You should check out Dr. sleep. It’s the sequel to this movie. They did a fabulous job of balancing the shining movie and the shining book together in the sequel. I wasn’t expecting too much from Dr. Sleep, but it was really well done. It’s worth a watch!
Mike Flanagan 🔥🔥🔥
Normally I'd only watch reactions to movies I like, but you know a reactor is good when you'll watch them watching movies you don't especially like. Keep it up!
That’s awesome. I’m glad you enjoying our vids like that
29:00 That’s hilarious. She actually played Olive Oil in the live action Popeye movie with Robin Williams.
Lol had no clue until today
Popeye movie has a good sound track and worth a reaction video
😂🍿😂🍿 Your facial expressions were hilarious. You gotta do another Stephen King movie 😂😂😂 Try Carrie 👍🏾
Lol I’m pretty he’s added all of his movies to the list. I’m glad you been enjoying
The fact that you said Wendy looks like Olive Oil from Popeye is amazing.
🤣🤣🤣 it’s amazing to me too since I’ve found she’s olive Oil today
dream casting
"I'd of hit him 'til May 1st." My new favorite reaction quote.
Lol glad you enjoyed
The whole movie is made to make you uneasy. Not just the obvious stuff; there's tons of little things that keep you on edge. Like that cut in the beginning, when the family is shown the outside of the hotel. They are crossing a little road, and there's a car coming straight at them. Then there's a cut, and the car just doesn't come. Or the impossible layout of the hotel: In the beginning, Jack enters the hotel and goes to an office in the middle of the hotel. And that office has a window to the outside. Or simply a typewriter in the back of the room changing colour. Countless small things that keep you from settling down
They did a great job at it
Kubrick's style is somewhat that of Hitchcock's way of filmmaking. He hits you with so many subtleties.
This might be the best reaction so far. "She the size of Olive Oyl!" was perfect, because Shelley Duvall WAS Olive Oyl in the Robert Altman-directed 'Popeye' film next to Robin Williams, and that was in 1980 - THE SAME YEAR when 'The Shining' came out. Wait - did Tony put that thought in your head..?
🤣🤣🤣 it has to be Tony bc I had no clue until the premiere today when ppl said it in the chat
EOM, Love your reaction, first time I laughed during The Shining :)
Lol glad I could make it funny for you.
Stumbled some days ago over your channel.
I really enjoy your funny and hilarious reactions and your sweet doggies in the background.
Greetings from Austria.🇦🇹👋
RIP Shelley. She passed away yesterday.
Welcome to the family!
I swear your facial expressions in all your thumbnails perfectly sum up the movies your watchingXD
I can't believe I laughed ALL THROUGH THE SHINING! You kill me 😆
The hotel feeds off the shine. Dick and Jack had it but Danny's was SUPERNOVA-powerful. The hotel wanted to consume all of them but it wanted Danny most. Dead, and in its power. It mostly killed people it could feed on and take their power. In the book, the hotel, or whatever possessed it, was pitting Jack against Danny, saying "he's a young pup ... thinks he's more of a man than his father." Stuff like that. Sad thing is, it was true. Danny had the shining way stronger than Jack, way stronger than Dick. They were light bulbs and Danny was the sun. The hotel wanted to eat him, basically.
In Doctor Sleep (SO GOOD, from the casting to the story), they go into how the shine works more, in cool ways. And the remake of The Shining ... was a tv miniseries that was kind of slow. But truer to the book. And Steven Weber, who played Jack in it, didn't look INSANE from go. Like, I don't understand how Jack Nicholson, playing Jack Torrance, ever got a wife. Dude looks bat-ish insane all the time--when he goes nuts and starts trying to kill people, who even is surprised? Literally only Wendy! He looks like he's already killed at least six hundred people! But Steven Weber, in the miniseries, just looked like a regular guy. The kind you root for. And over the movie, he started changing because the hotel was driving him nuts. STARTED looking nuts, instead of looking exactly the same (CRAZY) for the whole movie. That alone made the miniseries worth it for me. Plus, it did a better job stringing together what was going on and what the shine was. ALSO ... the topiary. Like ... I'm not a huge fan of this version of The Shining, nor much of a Stanley Kubrick fan in general, so I'm biased. But in the tv miniseries, they did the stuff with the damn topiary SO MUCH BETTER. CGI helps, I guess, when it comes to animating a giant, lion-shaped shrub and having it chase a kid. Also, the kid who played Danny in that movie could actually act. He had facial expressions.
Rebecca DeMornay does a much better job as Wendy, too. Not nearly as helpless and exasperating.
Sidenote: Shelley Duvall (Wendy) DID play Olive Oyl in Popeye (1980), with Robin Williams as Popeye! That has been one of my favorite films since I was three! So much fun AND singing. It's crazy and fun. And one of the songs from it was used in a commercial featuring Serena Williams (another GOAT) 😃
I've NEVER laughed while watching either version of The Shining or the sequel, Doctor Sleep. But I damn sure laughed my ass off through this reaction. You're golden!
39:29 I didn't understand but my dog told me that was some deep knowledge right there.
Lol Romulus drops knowledge every now and then
“I’d keep hitting him until May 1st.” Lol
Lol wouldn’t have moved from that spot
I can't help but laugh and feel terrified when Jack is chopping down the bathroom door.. waiting for "Here's Johnny!!"
Lol it is funny how he does that
What gets me about that scene is how precisely the camera follows the arc of the axe. Fucking Kubrick.
Oh, and the first time they did it, they had built a prop door that would splinter, not knowing that Jack Nicholson was a volunteer fire fighter. He went through the door like it was cardboard. They had to replace it with a real one.
Ok, I'm only 1/3 through this and I've never had so much fun watching this movie. You're the best.
Much appreciated and stoked you’re enjoying!
One of the most entertaining reactions to The Shining that I've seen so far here on CZcams. ^^ I enjoyed it!
I also highly recommend looking up the theories about the movie and its story. It might leave you even more creeped out than you already were while watching (fair warning 😁) but at the same time it's super interesting!
Thank I truly appreciate that and I’m at a crossroads. Lol I want to look it up but at the same time I’m not trying to get creeped out
Best reaction to “The Shining” that I’ve seen 😂😂😂 well done
Thank you 🙏🏾
You might like "Signs." Not as creepy as this one, but still a bit suspenseful.
It's good to see some of these classic films, like "The Shining." It gets referenced a fair bit, and now you'll get those references.
Yeah it’s been a couple of things since I watched I’m like oh that’s where it comes from
Yes, Signs is good!
Loved your reaction. I've never laughed during The Shining before, but you made me do it 🤣
Your dogs are gorgeous 🙂
Here’s Johnny!! 🤣 What’s up my man? 💯💪🏽🙏🏽
Lol Johnny was in the moving tripping
The best scenes in this movie are the ones with Scatman Crothers, that rundown of the pantry inventory is an all timer for me , thanks again!
Scatman was awesome..RIP
My favorite reaction on this channel thus far!
Glad you enjoyed
The line" HEEEERE'S JOHNNY!" is much funnier if you know in those days every night at 10:31 p.m. EXACTLY those words were said every weeknight by Ed McMahon on the Tonight Show introducing. JOHNNY CARSON for almost 25 yearrs.
I never even put that together lol
Hey there, so I went to music school (a million years ago) and we studied this soundtrack. The opening is an electronic rendition of "Dies Irae," an ancient hymn sung in Latin, also used by Mozart in his Requiem, I believe about Judgment Day (hence the general theme of doom). Later they use Bela Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta," which is super creepy with the music-box (celesta) effects and the low timpani glissandos going up and down ... essentially a super complicated soundtrack with a lot of hidden meaning. :D
That’s awesome that it even goes that deep
I was in a dance performance that utilized the Bartok . It was about a descent into hell.
@@TheDivayenta I would love to see that
@@TheDivayenta 😬😨

It's funny that you said that Wendy looks like Olive Oyl. Shelly Duvall played Olive in the Popeye movie with Robin Williams as Popeye. lol
Lol never knew until the premiere today
"This site is supposed to be located on an indian burial ground and"....AWW HELL NAH!!! I lost my drink LOL

Watched every minute of this reaction! I’ve been having a rough week and this just made me smile and laugh the whole time!! Can’t wait for more horror!!

"was that bear sucking his dick?!" thats an all time quote right there 😂great reaction dude
Hi, it's hella funny that you called Wendy "Olive Oil" cause she plays Olive Oyl in the Popeye movie. I'm surprised how many people know that movie looking at the comments.
Lol I legit didn’t know she was olive oil until today
I knowwww!! 😆😆👍
You should react to Popeye

Romulus giving his review made my night 😂😂😂
Caught a few of your reactions over the last week or so. Leaving likes, but been meaning to subscribe for a bit now, cause I HAVE been laughing. You earned it a while back, but I stopped right now and did it, because man, you went through it on this one, Sir...
Carry on. You're genuine and real, that was the hook.
Much appreciated and welcome to the family!
His genuineness is def his biggest draw. He's always been the exact same off camera as he is on. I'm just glad it shows on here and people see it.
Greatly appreciate it. And welcome to the family. Glad you been enjoying
