The Best WTF Scene from “The Shining”

“The Shining” was one of the creepiest movies ever made.  It aired cable one night in the early 80s and I watched it alone in the dark in an empty house. Spooked me, especially the ending — the soundtrack changed to 1930s ballroom music. The camera slowly panned to the photo on a wall in The Overlook Hotel and focused on the guy at lower left – JACK!

It was Jack Nicholson’s greatest performance, IMO, and there’s no point to this commentary at all except as an introduction for a possessed Overnight Open Thread.

A clever concept is nothing more than an idea, and if it’s practical, it may have many applications. Of course, Mr. Concept doesn’t care about any of that, but go talk to Miss Application and you’ll get an entirely different story, especially on an Overnight Open Thread.

That’s my fantasy, to run a small place out in the sticks with a jukebox, a foosball table, and a loyal clientele of regulars. Live open mike Friday and Saturday nights  in the corner beneath the shelf that holds a black and white Motorola; with a couple of tables for checkers or poker, and a small grille for eggs and sausage, biscuits and gravy. And a dog or two. Open 3PM to 10PM, so I have just enough time to clean up the place and still be here for an Overnight Open Thread.

Q:  Where would we be without human ingenuity that produces crap like that?
A:  The same place we’d be with it, of course, on an Overnight Open Thread.
