I guess you didn’t like it? 
The Grinning Evil made for some pretty good scenes.
A bigger problem for me was the inexplicable attraction that Wendy (the Shelley Duvall character) initially had for Jack Torrance, and vice versa.
I also thought the gross-out banquet scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom detracted from the movie.

Die Hard With A Vengeance
Great film BUT that ending is hot garbage, it should have ended on the boat. Instead we take a 10 minute detour into Canada for an incredibly limp ending where the bad guys just kind of randomly give up? I know the ending was a reshoot but it’s incredibly obvious they had no idea how to end that otherwise great movie.
I was pulled out of the movie by the fact that the communicator used while discussing Midichlorians was clearly a women’s razor that had some plastic pieces glued to it and spray pained.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
The scene where Bond is imitating the expert who is supposed to be doing Blofelds ancestry research. The film makes the utterly baffling decision to have the actual ancestry expert dub over James Bond/Lazenby’s voice, so there’s an entire 30 minute section of this movie where you see Bond talk but it’s not Bonds voice for literally no reason.
I did find it strange that they used such a ubiquitous commercial product so … Visibly.
I’d always assumed that Lazenby struggled to do another accent so they chose to use the other actor’s voice. Although why he couldn’t continue to use the same voice, I don’t know.
They’re a secondary infestation. They’ve evolved to live off the Force, and so highly Force-sensitive people are of course better host vessels for them, and so have a higher count.
Force lice.
Force STD. All that “Monastic lifestyle” nonsense was the Jedi trying to control the spread.
They didn’t succeed, of course, which implies a whole lot of Jedi-boinking going on behind the scenes.
TBF, all of the blasters were readily-available firearms with bits attached. (Solo’s Mauser C96, the stormtroopers’ Sterlings. Here are other examples from The Empire Strikes Back.)
I’m one with the lice, and the lice is with me
For me, it was when she ditched the cat in the rain, in an area he probably wasn’t familiar with. Instant total hate for the character, and I won’t be watching that movie again. (pauses to hug junior cat, who spent years as a stray in our apartment complex after being similarly dumped by his so-called “human”)
On the whole, I was thoroughly unimpressed with what was supposed to be the definitive Audrey Hepburn movie. Her character just seemed completely unrelatable and unsympathetic to me. A flaky, irresponsible bimbo.
There’s an interesting connection between that and two other movies, that I have noticed.
In The Lovely Bones, there is a character that calls herself “Holly Golightly”, which is the name by which Ms. Hepburn’s character went in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In both movies, it comes out that that’s not the character’s real name.
In The Lovely Bones, the main character dies not very far into the movie, and “Holly” serves as her guide in the afterlife. In Audrey Hepburn’s last movie, Always, she plays a character who serves an almost identical role, serving as a guide for a man who has just died.
Well, wasn’t that exactly what her character would do?
People think BaT is a romance, and it is, sort of.
But, it’s also a character study of a terrible human being. “Holly” is a self-centered user, who ditched her husband and is now using her good looks to skate through life in NYC. Ditching her cat when it becomes inconvenient is exactly when she has done all throughout her life.
Her “redemption” occurs when she decides to commit - to the cat and to Paul.
The “skateboarding elf” in Lord Of the Rings Return of the King. I am still mad about that. Like they made this incredible cinematic version of Tolkien, clearly showing they really got Tolkien and understood the mythos. Then at the climactic moment of the whole story decided to throw in a bunch of Hollywood bullshit that ruined it (for me anyway).
I’ll go farther. She’s a high class prostitute, but the kind that takes your money and disappears. She goes on these dates with rich men and runs away before the sexytime can happen. I’m sure the men are not pleased. It’s a dangerous way to live, and so far she has been lucky.
Exactly. I’d like to like the film, but I just can’t.
But I liked Hep in Always. (and Robin and Marion)
I think a good portion of the audience might be quite interested. Granted, it’s not for everyone, but it’s not exactly a rare sexual act.
I think that’s the thing that bugs me. The film just assumes everyone does.
You could get nearly 100% audience agreement if she was offering straight sex. But they went there. I think it distracts (not ruins).
Same battle, different bit: when the Rohirrim see the Oliphaunts come into view and Theoden says “Reform the line!” Dude, when the animals on the other side are 20-25 feet tall, you ain’t the heavy cavalry any more.
