[Yo...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I've been fascinated with The Shining since I saw the commercial as a 5-year-old and ran away to hide under the kitchen table. "Tony". I met Danny Lloyd as well as the Grady twins. I know the movie by heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Yo...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 For when you return... Why was Room 217 changed to Room 237 for the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I don't know. :/ I remember noticing that the number was wrong the first time I watched the movie, but that was before there was such a thing as google. I feel like maybe they fixed it in the TV remake with the Wings guy? It could be some ridiculous code or a silly design choice, but I am guessing that it was logistics. The hotel they shot in had a 237 but no 217? But that seems odd, it's not like it's a 13, why would a hotel not have a 217 if they have a 237? Or it had a 217 and didn't have a 237 and they specifically wanted a "fictional" room? I don't know. I am resisting google, so do tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Answer: The Timberline Lodge, which was used for the exterior shots of the "Overlook Hotel" had a Room 217, and requested the change because they feared that future guests might be afraid to stay in it.

[Sa...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Ahh I learned all these phrases once. I can’t remember the background on this one. I’m guessing it had to do with a turkey that didn’t have time to escape winter for some reason? Haha I have no idea. Can’t wait to hear the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I legit don't know the answer either I will cheat and google it, one second!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 ‘Cold turkey’ is an American expression which originated in the 1920s. It derived from an expressions ‘talking turkey’ and later ‘talking cold turkey’, which meant talking in a straight, no-nonsense sort of way.

[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I copied n paste that, ,kind of doesn't have nothing to do with "quitting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[So...] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 That's interesting - wonder how it evolved into abruptly quitting a drug or booze. Someone must have invented it - a doctor or a patient. The term now gives me shivers when I think of benzos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sa...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Haha what? That’s so funny, now I need to do more research and find out how “talking Turkey” started! Okay how did the phrase “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water” cone from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I know, because in the 1700s and 1800s families had to share a bath and had only a tub to use and the father went first then mother then kids and so on....then the water got so dirty that when the baby had to use it, it was black and gross so they termed that expression saying don't discard the baby with the used water, just like the term a pot to piss in because they were poor and had no bathrooms so they used a pot to actually piss in etc....you know families also sold their urine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I binge watch YouTube documentaries some days, find them better than boring TV and watched a documentary on the 1800s where that was listed etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[So...] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Documentaries are way better than regular TV. I want to binge some on YouTube. I love Nick Broomfield's docs. He made Hollywood Madam about Heidi Fleiss which is really good. And the one on Aihleen Wouronos too. He's a sassy Brit too and is in his own films and it makes them less intense even when they are about serial killers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ni...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have binge watched serial killers docs, many of them. my favorite or go too usually tends to be history in general or Christianity history or space and technology etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[So...] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 All of those things interest me - especially space and history. I am going to the market buds - be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on YouTube all day too, sometimes I love going down some crazy rabbit holes on there. I briefly considered assault while I was out today. @@ That won't happen tomorrow or any time soon, I'm betting. Have fun going to the market. I nearly lost it today.
