Was there ever any confirmation by Kubrick that he made the calls?

I think it would be amazing and hilarious to get random fact or philosophical musings phone calls from Kubrick out of the blue.

This has always been my view. I grew up reading Sagan and was interested in dispelling hoaxes, how cults work, etc. But I’ve never had the zealotry a lot of myth busters display. Ghosts are the best example, I will argue against their existence even while I hope someone could prove them real because then there is an afterlife and the primary existential dread we deal with is settled. That would be so freeing.

It never occurred to me to check if the Shining was filmed in the UK (most of it was), so Kubrick would've probably made his calls in daytime without bothering to care what time it was in the US.

The exterior of the Overlook is a hotel in Oregon that's apparently pretty cool, has a way more interesting interior and history.

galagazombie posted:Going to the Ghost Bureau after I die hoping to get assigned something cool like “Slain soldier eternally fighting the battle of Gettysburg” and instead getting “Poltergeist that occasionally jingles the silverware in a house built in 1984”. Do you think you have to do exactly the same moves every battle or is it different each time.

The real hotel that inspired Overlook is haunted by YouTubers making travel/horror content.

Hi it’s me, Zachary Levi, star of Harold and the Purple Crayon. In this movie I play a kid who has a crayon that makes everything he draws real. But you know what isn’t real? *sits on chair backwards* The COVID-19 vaccines

I feel like the giant purple dildo look is intentional, but I know nothing about the franchise, so I don't know if I should be laughing, cringing, or mortified

It's a kid's book about a kid who finds a crayon and draws like a little path to walk down or a boat and pretends to sail on it. It is basically nothing aside from "kid draws pictures and pretends to be in them."

It's a kids book for literal babies and the most grow'd up thing I can associate it with is once in D&D we ended up with the purple crayon and it was among our most powerful magic items.

I think Sandler did make this movie, it was called Bedtime Stories and it's basically a fine and totally forgettable movie that's very much for kids.

The introductory scene in the African mine kind of got my hopes up, but the rest of the movie just sucked. hosed up
