In Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, when Dick metformin er 500mg side effects Hallorann explains the “shining” to Danny Torrance, Kubrick was said to have shot 148 single takes of actor Scatman Crothers sitting on his bed. This is the most known takes ever for a single shot. Does this mean we’re the Unofficial Stanley Kubrick page?

take148.com is more metformin hydrochloride brand name than just a film and television related news blog. It’s a website created with the intention of breaking the 4th wall and bringing you closer to the material, behind the curtain, and into the film experience.

We’ll report the regular daily news, update you on film releases, casting notices, box office returns and the like, but one of our primary focuses in standing out and keeping you with us is creating a large volume of original content. Not only will this original content cover weekly/monthly/quarterly columns, but it’s our hope that it will stimulate discussion with you, our dedicated readers, and try to provide new outlooks on old ways of thinking.

We’ll run career retrospectives, bring back old classics in dedicated screenings, fight to the hypothetical (or possibly literal) death via podcast, and (hopefully) bring foreign cinema closer to popular consciousness. But we have much more to look forward to. This is only the beginning.
