Review

Crazy bastards are always more fascinating to watch at a distance, rather than sitting beside you, or as is the case in The Shining (1980), locked up in a haunted, deserted, snowbound hotel with you. Manic director Stanley Kubrick and well in his prime maniac Jack Nicholson both reached personal highs of frenetic menace and obsession in this richly lensed adaptation of a Stephen King novel. Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, a driven but failing type-A writer who drags his emotionally battered wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and wigged-out psychic son Danny (Danny Lloyd) along to take a winter job as caretakers at a closed-down hotel deep in the Rocky Mountains called The Overlook. Whoever gave the family the gig overlooked the fact that the hotel was haunted, and soon enough all sorts of creepy stuff is happening there. Jack, the former abusive drunk who went sober after hurting his kid, gets back to drinking, starts spending time talking to ghosts, and generally goes insane. Eventually he turns to trying to kill his family, resulting in the famous "Here's Johnny" moment. Other iconic scenes include Danny's encounter with the creepy twins, the famous bloody elevators, "Redrum," "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and whatever was going on between the dude in the dog costume and the guy in the tuxedo. Hotel, no tell, but for real, what was that all about? But here at Skin Central, we've always been most intrigued by what happened in Room 237, when Jack walks in on a ghost women taking a tub. Yes, while exploring the hotel Jack comes across a bathtub with a gorgeous young woman in it (Lia Beldam). She gets out all wet, shows all three B's as she walks towards Jack, and even starts undressing him. Bel-damn! that's a great body, including a very period appropriate bush we'd be happy to get lost in (spoiler alert!). But the real bedlam begins when she starts kissing Jack and things take a wild turn. Suddenly, she gets super old super quickly and instead of the young Lia, the naked body belongs to the elderly Billie Gibson. We're not going to lie, trapped in the middle of nowhere in an empty hotel, we'd have happily played with the saggy fanny of that granny. After all, it's so dull all alone up there, and there's only so much Jacking a boy can do! It might not be the most well known scene, but for Mr. Skin's money that's the shining moment of The Shining!
