exactly
Shelley Duvall wasn’t a demure 70s coquette for your moodboard or a nutcase driven mad by Kubrick’s harsh directorial hand. She was a woman with no prior acting experience or training who jumped into the industry and made her mark. She was an unforgettable personality on the screen; so down to earth and approachable yet aloof in her own way. She had a gift that can’t be taught in a drama college; her onscreen manner felt natural. Contrary to urban legend, she didn’t go completely insane after the Shining. She produced 3 successful children’s television series throughout the 80s and 90s and earned a Peabody award and two Daytime Emmy nominations. She was passionate about creating quality entertainment for children.
Many who worship celebrities only worship an image or a constructed narrative, and, admittedly, there’s no way for any of us to have known Shelley as a person beyond her work in film and television. Still, when I look at her I see someone who worked hard to create so many wonderful things, and I think her talent was so much greater than what people gave her credit for.
A list of horror movies people have to watch, mostly cause I love them.
• The Shining
• IT (original or 2017 both are amazing)
• Saw 1 & 2 at least. The others are okay
• Nightmare on Elm Street
• Halloween
• Candyman
• The Visit
• Jeepers Creepers (I cried from fear for like no reason. I never cry from fear so this has to be on here)
• The Conjuring
• Annabelle
There’s a ton more but these stuck with me the most, I love them.

Há dois dias finalizei minha releitura de "Doutor Sono", depois de ter fechado 2022 relendo "O Iluminado".
É um pouco estranho e me sinto solitária na opinião de que essa continuação é muito melhor do que a obra que a originou. AMO "O Iluminado", mas em minha mais recente experiência com o livro reforçou-se o sentimento de que há uma carência ali que não está em "Doutor Sono" - um livro que, para mim - é fechado e completo beirando a perfeição.
Gostar dos personagens na obra original é um esforço contínuo que, em alguns momentos no decorrer da história, não parece oferecer qualquer recompensa. Em "Doutor Sono" a ligação entre o leitor e, principalmente, Dan Torrance é íntima, dolorosa, familiar. Sou grata ao King por me proporcionar experiências como as de Doutor Sono, Billy Summers, A Zona Morta, Joyland e muitos outros. Sempre serei. Sempre estarei pronta e exultante para mais uma dessas experiências.

To all the movies I've lost
There are classic movies, movies we're ashamed we love, movies we love to hate, the movies of our childhood, and movies that stick with us forever regardless of type of emotional connection we have with them. Sometimes regardless of their impact, we still lose them. For an English project I once had to watch a few horror/suspense movies and see how the story connected to events going on at the time, I ended up picking the movie The Night of the Comet, a 1980s film about how radioactive material mysteriously left my a passing comet evaporated people or left them sick and zombie-esque. I connected this to the mystery and panic occurring of the beginning of the HIV and AIDS epidemics and how people are panicked and you didn't know who you could trust. Other films I saw was The Shining, but as it took me three days to watch it once that didn't seem like a good choice to study and another film...where a woman gets remarried and starts getting harassed.
This film in random occasion will pop into my head late at night and frighten me to my core, while many claim they saw the ending coming (I agree you had ideas but the FULL twist that gets you at the end in the creepy phrase while she's fighting for her life in her own home)--I'm sorry, you didn't see those specifics coming. I'd like to see it again, either to be freaked or to help and try to get over it, but alas I can't, as I've forgotten what movie it is. I've e searched and searched with clues and facts and cannot figure out the film, so it will continue to haunt me, from a more petrifying distance of mystery, only to become clear as a nightmare
Happy January 13th
