The Shining : Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

I know this movie was critically panned upon release. But it's still surprising to me.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

Many people have trouble appreciating Kubrick's films. And because King ripped this one to shreds, people listen to the author of the novel instead of the director of the film. Kubrick never had a chance.

They're different formats.
An adapted film NEVER has to follow any book, it doesn't matter who the author is.
Watch the miniseries to understand how ridiculous some of the dialogue really is when the characters say it.

it deserved it, kubricks worst, nothing good in it

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

I put a lot of stock into what some idiot with a username like yours has to say.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

Me either. I just put him/her/it on ignore. Life is good.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

You put people on ignore based on usernames or when they do not like something you do? That's really mature...

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

Life is too short to waste time with idiots.

Boner Xmas has spoken.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

This and Ennio Morricone's score for The Thing are tied for most undeserving, yes.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

If people were mostly judging directing based on the performances the director got from his actors, then I think it's a somewhat reasonable nomination. Shelley Duval's nomination was also very reasonable, for the first half of the film she was just dreadfully bad

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

kubrick usually interesting subject matter for movie, this one was pointless, vacuous, jeered at for wasting his time on it

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

It's one of those so bad it's good movies.

And it's so "bad" it's a classic.

Re: Most undeserving Razzie nomination of all time?

Both of the Razzie nominations were ridiculous. ESPECIALLY the one for Worst Director. Still can't believe that one.

The Razzie Awards are a load of horsehit. Fuck those dudes with a four-pronged pitchfork sideways. With no kiss and zero lube. Just ram that sucker in dry.

Yes, this is really me.
