Thank god for that, I was getting worried about all the spare time I have on my hands to think lately...and was reminded of a character in a film in which some days I see myself..
Jack Nicholson's unforgettable typewriter scene in The Shining is the classic cultural articulation of the anxieties attendant in just this sort of production: simply put, "Too much work and no play makes Jack (Nick).. a dull boy." The typewriter (computer), as Jack (Nick)discovers, is a public extension of the modern and cosmopolitan; therefore, it is dangerously incongruous with the crushing solemnity of a deserted northern hotel (boring lonely house in raining England). Its demand for steady production is too insidious for a rustic imagination that equates isolation with inspiration. And so, caught between the modem and a dated image of his vocation.....
For those who have not seen the film, you can watch a 30 second version from start to finish with bunnys playing the actors below. Look out for the guy on the type writer. Anyone sensitive to Horror type movies beware this is scary in real life ~ hopegully the bunnys reduce the scaryness, but don't click if you don't like horror.
