| Topic | Board 8 Watches and Ranks 80s Horror - Pt. 2: 80s Revenge |
| LightningStrikes 04/22/24 3:46:25 PM #195: | Jack Nicholsons performance is what stopped The Shining from ranking higher for me, and turned a potential 5/5 into a 4/5. Its cartoonish when it shouldnt be, and he just feels fundamentally miscast. I warned there was a hot take coming back near the start! But yeah hes pretty bad in this. Its not that its a maximalist performance, its that hes acting like a deranged madman when hes not supposed to be to the point that it strains believability that anybody would not instantly run from this man. And hey, supposedly Kubrick didnt like it either!
Shelley Duvalls great though. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard! |
