Did anyone see the penis tray or the Kubrick cloud?


I whipped out the Blu Ray of the Shining right after I saw that part and looked at it step by step and couldn't see a think. I think that guy just has willies on the brain.

Willies willies, I love willies.

I could sort of see the penis tray but I couldn't see Kubrick in the clouds. The guy did said he would have to photoshop the image in order to be able to see it :/

I'm going to be honest. I tried really hard, but no matter what I did I just couldn't spot the Kubrick cloud.

That'd be because it's not there.

I saw what the guy was interpreting as the penis-tray... it was just the dude's coat blending in with the color of the tray, so it looked like it was sticking out from his groin. Only a desperate lunatic would think Kubrick intended it to look like a penis, though.

The Kubrick-face-in-the-clouds thing I couldn't spot at all. Maybe you're supposed to stare through the image and it pops out like one of those Magic Eye deals? Or, the guy could just be a total loon. :)

I suspect that the speaker simply forgot where the head was supposed to show up, didn't see it as he was talking, and then backpedaled. I thought it was around the upper right but it was there all the time, not anything sudden. But that could just be me imagining something.

I think the penis tray thing was pretty ridiculous.

They say several times that his head in the clouds lasts only for 1 frame. That would mean, what, 1/24th of a second is all it would last? So maybe it is there, but you'd have to freeze it on exactly the right frame. I doubt it's there at all, but it wouldn't surprise me much if it is - big deal.

reply

No, no, no. You weren't supposed to see Kubrick in a cloud and a penis in a tray, you were supposed to see Kubrick's penis in Shelley Duvall.

reply

If you look hard and long enough, I`m sure you could see just about anything in the clouds.

Besides - why on earth would Kubrick put his own image up there? What sense would `that` make?

The weiner tray was clear as day in the doc itself, though I don't believe for a millisecond it was intended. You can go through any movie you want and start imagining erect dongs all over the place if you're looking for them.

I wondered why the guy didn't go further in his *COUGH* "analysis." It was a huge black/brown dong, so maybe it had something to do with racial stereotypes and/or civil rights. Hey, that's no more silly than his initial premise.

And, the Kubrick cloud? Come on, man. It wasn't there. When he said "I'll have to photoshop it," I expected to see his doctored shot. Wouldn't that have been a natural segue? I suspect the filmmakers did see the shot but decided it was so unconvincing that showing it would undermine the semi-serious nature of the doc. I think we're supposed to thing these people are odd; not that they're completely loony.

Well, except the minotaur lady. She was batsh*t crazy. Some people see dongs, some see minotaurs, others see minotaur dongs.

I rewinded the scene a couple of times but alas, no Kubrick cloud. What a disappointment.

The penis tray could clearly be seen however. In all its erect manhood glory.
