Spoilers ...
If its accepted in some theories that jack ends up as one of the spirits trapped in the overlook in the 1920's ... Then it doesn't seem quite a bad place to end up considering he committed murder and attempted murder !
Until it's his turn to don the ass-less bear suit...
shareHahaha yeah good point lol
shareNoooooo. Is that why The Shining is playing during the Halloween season?
Usually we think of this bear suit -- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5qaxh8kvr1qkbh78o2_400.gif
wasn't that a metaphor for hell itself?
idk
IDK. He looked pretty happy in the photo at the end.
sharebut the photo was in reality a snapshot of a different variable in the space/time continuum. that wasn't Jack.
it was a manifestation of another character, and another soul.
get it?
Too deep for me. I just interpreted it as Jack having been absorbed into the hotel and being edited into its history, or as an earlier reincarnation of his soul. I vacillate between those two ideas.
shareEither one seems fine to me. The hotel is an entity in itself, possibly cursed by the Native Americans whose graves it violates. The structure seems able to alter and manipulate itself, opening and locking doors, turning lights on an so on.
The incarnation theory is interesting as well, that Jack would be destined to return to the Overlook as one of the first people in the cursed hotel, perhaps even the original care taker/custodian?
Too bad only the first theme was explored at any significant length in the sequel, I find reincarnation fascinating.
Hey, at least he ended up in a place where he could get a drink!
shareand before you know it........ prohibition will be lifted!

Okay, you started it... This guy goes to Hell, and is show down a long corridor, and the Devil opens every door they come to, and inside the rooms the guy sees all sort of appropriate punishments being administered, while the Devil intones "Harvey Weinstein, your punishment is to be the sex slave of a male prison gang" and "Sean Penn, your punishment is to listen to Fox News for all eternity...", etc. So they come to a door with the guy's name on it, and he's terrified and wonders what horrors are in store for him, and the Devil opens the door...
And there's a beautiful blonde woman standing there! The most beautiful woman he's ever seen in his life! And the devil intones "Margot Robbie, your punishment is...".
I heard a similar one except it was with George Bush and ended with him seeing Monica Lawinskey giving Bill Clinton a blowjob and George getting excited til the Devil told Monica to go home cause George Bush was taking over.
shareHell is actually awesome if you don't feel guilty.
