Snow Black's Sleepy Cinema Trip


The Shining is one of my favorite movies ever...maybe it is because its a horror film that doesn't leave me with nightmares afterwards, or because of how good the casting is, of how Jack Nicholson is so right in the role, but i know it has something to do with the 70's styling of the hotel and the clothes the characters wear..
The uncut version was played at the Edinburgh Filmhouse just after Halloween and I couldn't wait to go and see it and see what bloody bits they had cut out, I like old cinemas because they normally have funny patterned carpets and let you drink tea or booze whilst watching the film, but the downside is you have to sit really close next to the people around you and sometimes what is really bad about art house cinemas is that some people laugh a lot at things that aren't really funny, just a bit ironic or subtle, i think it makes people feel better about themselves, to prove to the rest of the audience that they are squashed up next to that they are clever enough to get the joke, it just makes me think that they should stay home and watch it on dvd, the worst is when they clap at the end of a film, it always has been, and always will be, a bit alien to me.
Anyway, I wore my new white dress with white tights, i like to think, that combined with my new brighter red hair it makes me look a bit like a ghost, the dress is a bit victorian in style, with a high neckline, and reminds me of the ghost twins outfit in the film....
Of course I doubt anyone got the connection as they were too busy calculating where to laugh to sound clever (annoying) i am starting to think i should be the one at home watching it on DVD now...
Later on in the film i started to get a bit sleepy (anaemia sucks) and so i had a nice little cinema nap, I didn't feel so bad because of all the uncut scenes that i saw, they were all un-exciting and contained no gore, and the uncut scenes at the end of skeleton ghosts just ruined it...
My favorite outfits in the film, besides the twins dresses, is Wendy's red jumpsuit with a pinafore over the top, and Danny's Apollo jumper, infact all of his wardrobe..
