Thank you very much Trollheart! You're not only the king of journals but a truly great writer yourself, so it's really great to hear such kind words from you, always.
I have to admit, though, I would never have had any of this insight without Room 237. Even though sometimes the commentators could be pretty out there, they were all very fascinating, and opened up my mind to how the film could be interpreted; without seeing that film, The Shining would still be extremely obscure to me, though not in a bad way, since it is one of my favorites. But without a doubt, I'd still be in the dark in how to go about analyzing it.
