\"room_237_cover\"<\/a>I was just going to ignore this commentary of Stanley Kubrick\u2019s films called \u201cRoom 237\u201d but I just can\u2019t.\u00a0 For your sake!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ever watch this garbage unless you are the type into far-reaching conspiracy theories that have no, or very little, basis for facts.<\/p>\n

I am a huge fan of Stanley including The Shining, and much of his work, but this dude that made this commentary puts him on a pedestal like he could do no wrong.\u00a0 Truth-is that Stanley was a great movie writer and creative (no doubt), but this commentary-dude goes severely overboard.\u00a0 This whole movie is so dramatically overboard on the \u2018meanings\u2019 of the movie when in reality the narrator offers few facts (only opinion).<\/p>\n

What is pretty cool about this narration is that it has a lot of good movie footage from many of Kubrick\u2019s films overall, not just The Shining.\u00a0 And while many of the far-out suggestions were way too radical, I must admit a few were worthy of a consideration.<\/p>\n

Bottom-line, if you like Kubrick you will hate this narration, or if you don\u2019t like Kubrick you will be confused and most likely hate it worst so my advice is adhere to my low Steelers-Star ranking advice of two stars and avoid this Stanley \u201c2001 Space Odyssey\u201d Space Junk of a film.<\/p>\n
