re: #171 jamesfirecat

If you hear him typing it’s too late and he’s probably already gotten the fire axe himself….

At least unless you follow the book or the miniseries where it was a Roque mallet which is basically the super fancy upper crust rich white guy version of croquet and thus Jack’s use of it is symbolic of his desire to move up in the world economically no matter the cost to his family….

But lets all be honest, the axe works better visually.

To be fair, no matter how much King hated it in the end, the Kubrick version will always be the one people remember.
