Like you, I also assume they made the visual cuts to an IP, which would also explain why edits are placed right before and right after dissolves in many places since they'd be baked into the IP. Chris Last edited by Christian Muth; 06-20-2022 at 01:19 PM. |

[Show spoiler] , any ambiguity is out the window re: whether the ghosts are real or not, not to mention [Show spoiler] If anything, the short cut is a more straight-forward haunted hotel story since Jack's alcoholism and violent past is almost completely eliminated from that cut, save that one brief mention of him having previously injured Danny when he's "drinking" at the bar which comes out of nowhere in the European cut.This discussion reminds me of when Netflix accidentally put the European cut of THE SHINING up for a while streaming here in the U.S. Chris Last edited by Christian Muth; 06-20-2022 at 01:33 PM. |

Thanks. Even then, does such short copy say that both cuts were going to actually be *in* 4K? That was borne out from HMV looking at the preliminary cover art which included the 'extended cut' banner that Warners' PR department kept copying and pasting from the Grindelwald cover, who did the same with The Mule I seem to remember. There was never any official promise from Warners that it would have both cuts, never mind both in 4K, only an assumptive social media post from a lone retailer, so it's no wonder they've rebuffed such questions: they've got nothing to answer for and haven't "shafted" anyone.

Unfortunately I don't have the Warner page any longer after a HDD crash. I have a habit of keeping details until after release because I run a research archive for studying J.R.R. Tolkien, so I tend to grab any and all info and crosscheck it later in case there are snippets I want to keep, I do it for everything. Warner Bros. did imply that the shorter cut would be the main cut on the UK release with the extended cut suggested as a second cut, then a month (iirc) later they subtly changed the brief.

Both cuts are great and both have their merits. However, I much prefer the longer US cut, as I love the atmosphere of the Overlook Hotel so much, I never want to "leave" it. The longer cut soakes me in. I can otally lose myself in it and I love every second of it. As strange as this sounds, The Shining is one of my 3 comfort movies.

It left a bad taste for me, because it didn't show much respect to Kubrick. He could have said lets have a single cut in all markets and he never did. he was happy with the two cuts. Warner should have made the effort and released both in 4K. The UK reading (on the Warner shop) as 4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Extended Edition is very clearly not what we got. The image existed based on the info Warner gave to whoever produced the images, so therefore Warner misled us. Last edited by philthehip; 06-20-2022 at 04:05 PM. |

The point being, she is suddenly seeing the same things that Danny was seeing in his premonitions. There is no "ambiguity" in either cut of THE SHINING- the supernatural happenings are supposed to be real.

![]() Could you watch that new Northman for me? It looks shite but it apparently has some nods to Tolkien I might be interested in. Appreciate it man. |

Brits liking the shorter cut of The Shining is akin to Yanks liking the US versions of Beatles albums. I suppose it makes sense if that's what you grew up with, but come on!
