Roger and I discuss Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ in our latest #RibbonofMemes podcast. Is it a masterpiece? Why did Stephen King hate it so much? And what -is- a snow cat anyway?

Ribbon of Memes: The Shining (1980)

Lydia ConwellMar 28

#RibbonOfMemes have gone and done #TheShining, which I will listen to.

It's a curious film. I'm not much of a fan of Kubrick, even though his films are clearly meticulously made. I rewatched the Shining about a year or so ago and ended up watching it again.

The presence of absent indigenous people is striking and also implied child abuse.

Probably Jack Nicholson's best performance who's an actor I don't rate much.

Storywise it just starts then comes to an end. It's more of insanity slowly possessing a man.

Anyway, I'll listen to what Memes has to say.

Just what happened to 1987's Ishtar? Was it just that the Road To films were inimitable? Find out what @lordof1 and I thought in #RibbonOfMemes https://ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2026/The_Road_to_Spies_Like_Ishtar.html #Podcast #Film #Movies

Is 1995's Waterworld as bad as they said? Well no, but my word it isn't good. Find out what @lordof1 and I thought in #RibbonOfMemes https://ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2026/Waterworld.html #Podcast #Film #Movies

#RibbonOfMemes has done a Waterworld podcast and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

@lordof1 and I continue our #RibbonOfMemes trip through the 1950s apocalypse with World Without End, Panic in Year Zero and On the Beach. (One of these films is not from the 1950s, one is barely about the apocalypse, and one would be much better if it weren't pretending to be a film of the book.) https://ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2026/Fifties_Apocalypse_II.html #Podcast #Film #Movies

How did the world end on the cinema screens of the 1950s? Often with just a few people left alive, as @lordof1 and I see in #RibbonOfMemes https://ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2026/Fifties_Apocalypse_I.html #Podcast #Film #Movies

Surprisingly, 1984's The Ice Pirates isn't a Star Wars ripoff. It's much more a Sabatini ripoff. Find out what @lordof1 and I thought in #RibbonOfMemes https://ribbonofmemes.org.uk/archive/2026/The_Ice_Pirates__1984_.html #Podcast #Film #Movie

Nothing to do with Roger’s and my podcast, but I watched ‘The Life of Chuck’ because I read it was a very emotionally moving film. The reports were accurate because it made me angry.
