Here is The First Trailer for The Shining Sequel: DOCTOR SLEEP [Video]

“Doctor Sleep” continues the story of Danny Torrance, 40 years after his terrifying stay at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and newcomer Kyliegh Curran star in the supernatural thriller, directed by Mike Flanagan, from his own screenplay based upon the novel by Stephen King.

Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the “shine.” Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.

Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

“Doctor Sleep” will hit the big screen on November 8, 2019.

An Entertaining Commercial for the Mattel Intellivision Gaming Console (1982)

From Lathe26:

From 1982, Mattel ran this advertisement in movie theaters for the Intellivision gaming console. It features a futuristic newscast that reports on news events that are actually demonstrating several Intellivision games. These games include: Space Battle, Night Stalker, Utopia, TRON Deadly Discs, Boxing, Tennis, Skiing, and Star Strike.

This is a digital transfer from my personal 35mm film. Compared to other similar videos of this trailer, this is a higher resolution video but the original film stock is a little dirtier and has more wear. This digital transfer has been left in its raw state and no effort has been made to clean it up.

Japan Holds Office Chair Grand Prix

Founded ten years ago by Japan’s Tsuyoshi Tahara Tahara, the Office Chair Grand Prix featured 55 racing teams in this year’s edition.

Inspired by Le Mans and Formula One endurance racing, each 3-person team must lap the 200 meter course as many times as possible within two hours.

“The origin of this race came to my head when I saw a tricycle endurance race,” Tahara explained to Reuters. “Eventually I created the race which we can hold on a street, three persons per team for two hours of endurance.”

“I wanted to create something no one has made before.”

Tahara’s idea has proved surprisingly popular, with 55 teams entering the Hanyu Grand Prix alone and hailing from as far away as Wakayama, 600 kilometers to the south.
