Movie Haiku:Ascher playfully juxtaposes different interpretations of Stanley Kubrick''''s horror film THE SHINING (now over 30 years old). His 5 sources are totally earnest in their obsession & each make interesting points before flying off the deep end. Rich enjoyed the epistemological puzzles, but Jan thought it was more fun to discuss later than to watch in the here & now.
