The Shining

I have to say, I actually learned a thing or two from this movie. Like what a switchboard is (or, was?) and how to use it. And, if my child ever has an imaginary friend named Jack, get him to a psychiatrist stat. Oh and never to go in a hedge maze during winter. Also, my appreciation for the internet and cell phones grew tremendously. They must have been SO bored at that place!

I only have a few more thoughts to add:

• The chef’s role in the movie was completely anti-climactic. I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t seen this movie yet, but I expected way more.
• I totally get the Redrum reference now.
• Get a load of that woman’s clothes. I don’t know what was more scary to watch, the wife or the husband.
• HHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEESSSSS JONNY!
• I have to be honest, I was surprised by the ending. Totally didn’t expect it to end the way it did (again, not wanting to post any spoilers).
• I was so jealous of Danny for being able to ride his tricycle around the hotel like that. It seemed like so much fun. Just sayin'
  
• I'm not a fan of Jack Nicholson. There, I said it.
  

Anybody have anything to add that I may have missed?
