The Shining

[Corpsey]

 

[Corpsey]

Is this a Welsh thing?

 

[Corpsey]

The sensuous song filled Welshman, Italian of the British Isles

 

[luka]

The sort of girl I like to see
Smiles down from her great height at me.
She stands in strong, athletic pose
And wrinkles her retroussé nose.
Is it distaste that makes her frown,
So furious and freckled, down
On an unhealthy worm like me?
Or am I what she likes to see?
I do not know, though much I care,
xxxxxxxx…..would I were
(Forgive me, shade of Rupert Brooke)
An object fit to claim her look.
Oh! would I were her racket press'd
With hard excitement to her breast
And swished into the sunlit air
Arm-high above her tousled hair,
And banged against the bounding ball
"Oh! Plung!" my tauten'd strings would call,
"Oh! Plung! my darling, break my strings
For you I will do brilliant things."
And when the match is over, I
Would flop beside you, hear you sigh;
And then with what supreme caress,
You'd tuck me up into my press.
Fair tigress of the tennis courts,
So short in sleeve and strong in shorts,
Little, alas, to you I mean,
For I am bald and old and green.

It's easy to enjoy the shining purely on the level of how much it must have annoyed Stephen King the cornball

 

[Corpsey]

Can we imagine the Shining playing out as it does with a bodacious Italian babe as Wendy, and Jack Torrance now Jacomo Torrenti, the passionate thick browed amateur tenor

craner says films are primarily about tits and that French women don't have big enough tits.

 

[craner]

He has yet another theory that the only people who can make films are sleazy Italians working on a shoestring budget.

This is almost exactly what I believe.

 

[Corpsey]

Instead of the axe he weilds a violin and serenades his wife as she sits on the toilet

And Daniel, cherub faced child, sees bolognase sauce cascade from the elevator and swims in it rapturously

 

[luka]

he also said Shirley Duvall doesn't have big enough tits. that's his critical position, in a nutshell.

 

[Corpsey]

He writes the Opera successfully and the ghosts perform it to the crowd that appears in summer underneath the lemon trees

 

[Corpsey]

Jack Torrance goes mad and starts capering and gesticulating like a bug eyed clown

In the Italian Shining this is Jacomo Torrenti's default mode

 

[Corpsey]

Tormented by the pizza shaped hedge maze, he obsessively sits at his typewriter, labouring over a design for the perfect Margherita while his wife in vain labours to drag him back to the Saturnalian mattress of room 237

 

[version]

If it were Italian the hotel would be rendered in lurid colours and the old guests haunting the place would be fascists.

 

[Corpsey]

Suspiria!

 

[craner]

The Italian horror directors loved The Shining but then they consigned it to irrelevance by making works of art like Tenebrae, Shock and Murder Obsession

And it would be a fucking AMAZING film!
