I didn't know Stephen King was one of the judges for the Razzies.

Do you agree with the nomination? Absolutely not. The Shining is one of the greatest horror films ever made.

I agree with it just as a reminder that stupid people misjudge movies upon release, and a divisive movie now can be unanimously considered a classic in a few decades.

Yes.
Although he was the master at gorgeous cinematography and music scoring, he almost always fell flat, particularly with later films, with character depth. The opening of The Shining held so much promise. Once Duval and Nicholson opened their mouths, it was like comics relief. They were cardboard, cartoonish cutouts. Kubrick should have stuck with photography.

Yes.
Kubrick should have stuck with photography. Hahahaha.. Yeah he clearly made the wrong career choice. Didn't work out for him.

My daughter has never forgiven Kubrick for The Shining.
In the book, Wendy is a strong, independent minded woman.
In the film, Kubrick made Wendy a pathetic, weak, wet doormat.
I'm inclined to agree with our kid.

My dislike of Kubrick's The Shining has nothing to do with how it differs from the book, but rather, the terrible acting.

The Shining...the film, is a good horror movie, but it's not Stephen King's story. There's absolutely no warmth in the film and it is so much so that at times it's difficult to believe that this Jack and this Wendy would have ever married each other. I don't find them believable as a married couple whatsoever. I do enjoy JN's performance however and the movie used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid. Now when I watch it, there are a few times when I have to laugh at how the two main characters interact with each other (Jack and Wendy).

The characters are bizarro but the film's strength is the atmosphere. One of the first big budget horror films where it could be spooky with bright lights everywhere. I was surprised to learn the snow scenes outside were mostly salt.

Kubrick is a legend, his version of The Shining was so epic, so preferred by the masses, that it has even influenced Doctor Sleep, because they knew it would flop otherwise. Even King seems to have softened towards Kubrick film recently, or maybe I'm just reading it that way.

Good film but way way overrated. Jack chewing the scenery took all the menace out of the performance for me. Would have been better underplayed if anything.

Even King seems to have softened towards Kubrick film recently, or maybe I'm just reading it that way. Because The Shining is Kubrick and he brought his own vision to light of what the Overlook was like, this has left an indelible impression in the minds of many. Heck, even Spielberg's Ready Player One parodied it.
For those that haven't read the book but seen the film, The Shining design and cult following would have likely influenced King to be more accepting of what was presented. Cultural relevance. I haven't read, nor seen Doctor Sleep yet, so can't comment how King wrote his Overlook passages, but the DS film appears to have taken its Overlook design as a direct homage to Kubrick's vision and not Kings. I'm assuming King has softened towards the Kubrick movie since the Doctor Sleep movie definitely incorporates a lot of it. He's taken it easy on many other recent adaptations too, saying it's someone else's vision of his work and he appreciates that.

That happened in the very first Razzie ceremony. There were not that many voters. Also, a lot of people hated the movie when it came out. Pretty stupid. But ya know. It's the razzies. Not intended to be taken seriously. Yes and no. They're satirical in nature, but that doesn't mean the results don't matter.
