Daily Dialogue — January 15, 2019

“Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in. Not by the hair of your chiny-chin-chin? Well then I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.”

— The Shining (1980), screenplay by Stanley Kubrick & Diane Johnson, novel by Stephen King

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bathroom.

Trivia: For the scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the Props Department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The Props Department were then forced to build a stronger door.

Dialogue On Dialogue: At this point, Jack (Jack Nicholson) has gone completely over the edge creating one of the most memorable — and terrifying — bathroom scenes in cinema history.
