The forgotten Terry Southern deserves an episode himself.

I have a pet theory that every Kubrick movie contains at least one reference to his previous film. In Strangelove, it's Peter Sellers as a master of disguise (in this case metatextually, as multiple characters, instead of Quilty's disguises in Lolita). Next, the warning on the space pod in 2001: "CAUTION EXPLOSIVE BOLTS," which I can only ever hear in Major Kong's voice.

So I play this game called Rimworld (I know, I know) and I made a "Shining" themed run of this little... hell simulator? It creates pawns with various neurosis and quirks, has you pit them against a very hostile world. Think Prison Architect and The Sims had a baby. Only the pawns can get addicted to drugs, have artery blockage and asthma, or full-blown schizophrenia. To the point, I made the Jack, Shelly and had a third that I just made an embodiment of the times. It gives you an animal when you spawn your crew, for friendship or for slaughter. I shit you not after all that effort this game just randomly generated me a Yak. Named Lolita.
