Vanessa Angel in this movie was my first big movie crush. I couldn't keep my eyes off her.
I like this... but I just thought one of two things -
1. That he was the reincarnation of Grady. There's a scene in the bathroom where Grady says "You've always been here. I know this because I've always been here." There is also a scene where Jack is in bed eating eggs and he tells Wendy the first time he came to the hotel he felt a crazy sense of Deja Vu. This doesn't explain the picture showing the exact image of Jack, unless the hotel made Grady look different when he confronts Jack.
2. When Jack dies his soul is sucked into the hotel. All the dead people who are at the hotel were people murdered or killed there in the past and their souls are there too. That's why the hotel wanted Danny so bad - he's got the Shining and that allows the hotel to communicate with him well. They wanted to suck that powerful soul in. That's why you see Jack at the end in the picture.
Personally I like 1 better than 2, but
Gee, it doesn't change the fact she's a hypocrite for not insisting on working with female directors? Maybe she can do something about it instead of just being an attention monger.
Forget that. That's like saying everyone gets a participation trophy.
Hollywood's a shill.
I thought this was such an insulting and egomaniacal comment that disrespected the directors nominated that I went back and started counting the gender of the directors she worked with... it was something like 1 female director for every 10 male directors. She's a hypocrite and pathetic.
As someone who was a teenager when this came out, trust me that you're right. I laugh at teenage haircuts and clothing now.
His name is: My Hero.

I agree. I think David in particular has around since at least the early 1900s. The Jim Morrison picture makes me think some of them were around in the 60s too. Laddie was new, probably to appease Sky's maternal instinct. The others could have turned at anytime.
It would be interesting to see a story of them over the decades actually.
They show it every year, actually. Maybe they did something special though. Man, I remember that comic shop vividly when I was a kid. The '89 quake destroyed it and they moved up the street.
You can tell by his face and posture he's so worn out and tired of it all. I mean, he literally says just when he thought he was out and they pulled him back in. I get the feeling he had been constantly trying to go legit and the past or responsibilities kept getting in his way. Even when he's getting an award from the Vatican he has to deal with BS from Joey Zazza and his nephew.
Michael is trying to find redemption and fails time and time again. He tries to bring his family back together and people die. He literally goes to the Catholic Church for salvation and it backfires. He constantly says how family is the most important thing in life, but the last shot is of him dying old, broken and very much alone. I love this movie - it shows how much of a Shakespeare tragedy his entire life is.
Concur. They are so equal there are versions where both films are spliced into one and as a viewer it's indistinguishable which is which movie.
I can only assume with Michael out of the way the only real heir to the family would be Fredo, who was weak and also in Roth's pocket. He would have gotten his money, Fredo would be a puppet or 'give' the family business to Roth one way or another, and Roth would grow his empire.
Pretty much - Michael always talks about family, but that last scene of his family that is all gone (Sonny murdered, Fredo killed by Mikey, Carlo killed by Mikey, his sister hating him, Tom outed from the family). What family is he talking about anymore? In the last shot he's old, alone, and miserable.
Billionaire Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, lives in a suburb of Omaha, Nebraska. He bought the house for $31,500 in 1958 or about $250,000 in today's dollars. It's now worth an estimated $652,619.
Some people just live modestly.
Personally though, I think Roth was doing this to pretend to live on his pension so the government wouldn't come after him. At the end of the movie he actually says he's a poor man living on a pension to some reporter...
I can't recall when I first saw it, but there are a couple lines that indicate it (it's only an island when you look at it from the water). And it's called Amity Island.
Why? It's not like the guy is making Citizen Kane movies out there.
Never seen one role where Moore was good. Maybe St. Elmo's Fire.
I thought the kid from Robocop 2 was bad ass.
Don't forget about Rose, who 'saved' Finn and told him the meaning of life. This new trilogy is all about girl power.
