This is really rather clever - in a gimmicky sort of way. But I'm wondering. Watching the two screenings simultaneously/superimposed - did anyone get a headache?
@2: This is still less terrible than Room 237. What a crock of shit that "documentary" was. I wasn't entertained, just sad for unmedicated mental illness.
@2 has it right. Went with my bf to see 237 expecting a sort of behind the scenes look at the making of the movie. Instead, they went out and found the biggest screwballs on the internet to share their theories about The Shining. We wondered before the movie why the trailer was so sparse, and after seeing the film it was obvious they couldn't come out and actually say what it was about and still get people in the theater.
Haven't seen this, but a few of the more interesting parts of it were shown in Room 237, which I loved. So fascinating to see the different ways this film in particular has captured people's imaginations and become truly haunting to some.
@6: Oh, I'm okay with conspiracy theories. They just have to be interesting and much less sad/annoying. 237 came off a cross between mentally ill Davide Icke-level "true believers" and that annoying guy who had a sociology/film theory class and won't shut the fuck up for the rest of their lives.
