Stephen King Hates "The Shining". Why?
We all know it. We all love it. The Halloween season is upon us and, appropriately, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is playing on many of our televisions. Some consider it to be the epitome of horror films. Seriously. Look up any list of the greatest horror films of all time, and this one is likely to be on the list, if not at the very top. It's an adaptation of a book written by the master of horror himself, Stephen King. So why is it that King has never been fond of the film?

At the Movies During the Pandemic
Just the other day, I finally did something that I haven't been able to do in months. I went to the movies. Ever since I was a kid, going to the movies has been my favorite past time, as it has been for so many people. I was the type of person who would go watch films sometimes as often as three times a week, so my previous subscription to AMC Stubs A-List really helped me get out and explore not only films I wanted to see, but also films that I may not have gone out and paid money for normally. My local AMC is my theater of choice. The first film I ever saw there was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. At that time, the theater was newly built, and so going to see a movie there truly was a special event. The giant screens, the delicious popcorn, the IMAX, and the reclinable chairs have been enticing me for years. However, it pains me to say that my viewing of Tenet last week could possibly be the last film I ever see there.
