The Master
And this is where we are at. At the lowest level. To have to explain ourselves. For what? For what we do we have to grovel. The only way to defend ourselves is to attack. If we don’t do that we will lose every battle we’re engaged in. We will never dominate our environment as we should unless we attack.

Chairs Missing, Revisited
∆ Much focus has been placed on the missing chair in The Shining in the various critiques of documentary Room 237. While in the doc, professor Geoffrey Cocks merely offers up the possibility that the disappearing furniture could be Kubrick’s dry parody of b-movie haunted house conventions, his observation is invariably touted as evidence that Kubrick researchers place ‘deep...

Table-Gates Continued
For the past two KDK12 installments, The Table and More Table-Gates, we’ve been exploring instances of “stargates” in other Kubrick films and how they are often preceded by scenes involving tables, horizontal rectangles (or monoliths) and stories of a “woman in trouble.” Here’s a few more examples, from pre-2001 works Paths Of Glory and Lolita and the oddly...

More Table-Gates
In our previous installment, The Table, we observed a pattern in Kubrick films in which the presence of a horizontal monolith or table, combined with the idea of a woman in danger, results in the following scene being a trip through a colorful hallway. In our rush to publish, we forgot to included a few more occurrences of these ‘table-gates’, here now presented:
∆ In the above...

Before Me When I Jump Into My Bed
∆ Alice and Bill’s daughter Helena reads aloud from Robert Louis Stevenson.
My Shadow
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—
Not at all like proper...

The Blue Hotel
Stephen Crane wrote a story called “The Blue Hotel.” In it you quickly learn that the central character is a paranoid. He gets involved in a poker game, decides someone is cheating him, makes an accusation, starts a fight and gets killed. You think the point of the story is that his death was inevitable because a paranoid poker player would ultimately get involved in a fatal...

Q: What time is it?
A: It’s about 11:30.

Interesting, as the time, 11:30, is also the date: 11/30, or November 30th. Ullman explains in the interview that closing day at The Overlook Hotel is October 30th, making one month later...

The Maze Compass
∆ As Wendy and Danny enter the Overlook Maze for the first time, we see a map with a compass reference to the left hand side, with north angled to the left. However, if we match the map to the entrance, the compass is oriented in the opposite direction we would assume for a mountaintop resort in Colorado, which would naturally be built on the southern face of the mountain to catch as much...
