There are four hotels associated with your question, three real hotels and the fictional Overlook Hotel of the novel.

1) The Overlook Hotel: King mentions 'The Upland Highway' as leading to the town of Sidewinder, some 12 miles from the Overlook, and Dick Halloran is said to take Main Street out of Sidewinder after renting a snowmobile, but King never specifically states the name of the road from Sidewinder to the Overlook Hotel.

2) The Stanly Hotel: The hotel King stayed at when he first got the idea for The Shining is The Stanly Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. This hotel is shown as the Overlook in the TV mini series version of The Shining. The Stanley is located at 333 Wonderview Ave.

3) Timberline Lodge: The hotel standing in as the Overlook in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 theatrical version of The Shining is Oregon's Timberline Lodge located outside Portland on Mount Hood. Timberline Lodge is located at the end of Timberline Rd.

4) The Ahwahnee Hotel: Though Timberline Lodge is the outside of the Overlook in Kubrick's The Shining, the inside are sets designed after the interior of this Yosemite National Park resort hotel. The Ahwahnee Hotel is located inside the park at 1 Ahwahnee Rd.

I understand what your mother is going through. I also have a hard time talking with people in person. Your mom might do better in an online chat room. Yahoo has great chat rooms. They have a chat room for many different cities.

The movie 'The Shining' is about a family who takes care of a hotel while it is temporarily closed. The son of the couple, Danny, has special abilities. He can see what has happened in the past, therefore giving him clues to what might happen in the future. This ability is known as 'The Shining'. The extreme isolation of the environment causes the father, John, to go mad. He begins to see spirits and talk to them as if he has known them throughout his life. There had been one other incident of madness in that hotel. These actions became fetal. The story unfolds before your eyes throughout the movie. This movie involves imagination and leaves you pondering fact from fiction. 'The Shining' is also filled with metaphors. This is a frightening, but brilliant movie. Quite unforgettable.

Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand? (As he is ripping up his page)

Great movie!

The entire scene plays out as follows:

Jack Torrance: Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand?

Wendy Torrance: Yeah.

Jack Torrance: Now, we're going to make a new rule. When you come in here and you hear me typing

[Jack types]

Jack Torrance: or whether you *don't* hear me typing, or whatever the *f##k* you hear me doing; when I'm in here, it means that I am working, *that* means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that?

Wendy Torrance: Yeah.

Jack Torrance: Good. Now why don't you start right now and get the f##k out of here? Hm?

What are some quotes from the book The Shining?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and trust in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a contract in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea, what a moral and ethical principle, do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

It is more of a mental movie; it gets in your head and makes you think something will happen next, and it may or may not. It depends what type of peron you are. If your scared of Scream or any thing like that, then it may be scary.

That was the late, great Scatman Cruthers. He was a Hollywood mainstay, a character actor that made his characters unforgettable. Besides The Shining, one of his best roles was the horsetrader Mose in John Wayne's last film The Shootist. You have to be good when you 'hagle' with the Duke.
