| I first saw the film when a couple of college classmates got a video tape copy.The Shining was my first Stanley Kubrick film. It stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. The boy who has the ability to see things is played by Danny Lloyd. The family is spending the winter in a remote hotel up in the mountains as caretakers. Jack Torrence the father, accepted a job to baby sit a hotel while it's closed for the winter months. It was explained to him that a former employee committed suicide doing the same job. Danny Torrence the boy, could sense danger. He has an imaginary friend named Tony who speaks out when he is stressed. The title of the film is a euphemism of his power to understand danger and to put light on dark and mysterious images. My father used to call me Danny boy as soon as he gets home from work. Jack Torrence chased Danny with an axe in the movie while calling him Danny boy. I was watching this scene with a smile on my face that's why for the rest of the second semester that year, I'm Mr. Creepy. |  My father used to call me Danny boy as soon as he gets home from work. |
| Jack Nicholson made Jack Torrence the icon of deranged fathers for his performance here. Other strange things in the story are the twins, the naked woman in the bathroom and the rushing wave of blood in the hallway. |  |
| The Overlook Hotel claims Jack as a special customer. |  |
I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do
so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it.
I've been running the current session for more days than I should have.
I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my
system now?
It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to
how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to
do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key
or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait
until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using
Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub.
The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes
you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a
terminal access where you can issue commands.
Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the
