All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy February 20, 2007
Posted by admin in : Irrelevant , trackbackWhen I was 15, I pretty much memorized the dialogue from the movie The Shining, and my friend Ectostan and I could improvise little scenes for the amusement of my stoned friends. I could do a creepy “Do you like it? Do you like what I’ve written?”
So I was amused to discover this page which discusses the location shooting in the film. I’ve been to many of those places, but never knew they were used for the film.

We were never 15.
Here’s something else: we memorized it by watching it on Drew’s television. Not by watching a tape over and over again, but by watching it *when it came on HBO* because that was the only time we could see it. And HBO wasn’t 24/7 then, oh no. I remember watching the text crawl on the channel, the channel that was only HBO after 4pm or 5pm or something, watching and waiting for programming to happen.
Kids today, man, with their *videos* and their *continuous programming*, well, it just makes me sick.
