I think that was a great scene, and far more entertaining in some respects than the actual film. You can read just one of many King articles on this HERE. Cynema is not about film reviews.

After some online conversations, I thought I would get this out and off my plate. Was Kubrick a tad cynical in his vision for The Shining? Nostalgia has given Kubrick’s “horror masterpiece” a free pass, in my opinion. Many forget that the film’s 1980 release saw tepid reviews and an indifferent reception. The film made money and did well on cable and home video where it went into

But with the number of special effects the film requires, it’s not a huge surprise that we will have to wait. Plus, I’m sure that star Chris Pratt has his hands full with his commitment to MCU. As for plot details, we know very little about the sequel. So what do we know? We know that Colin Trevorrow will be back in the director’s chair.
