> I don’t think anyone has ever noticed it before, because I cannot find anything about it. No article, no video, nothing. So... if it's not mentioned on social media it didn't happen? What is happening to this world?

The sound of one influencer crapping

  If an influencer craps himself where no one can hear, did he really crap himself?

Also, the author contradicts himself in tweet 17 of 50: "In this scene from the documentary Making the Shining, Kubrick explicitly asks Nicholson to find a way to look down, right where the camera is." Anyone sufficiently familiar with Kubrick knows it wasn't a mistake.

Probably a better way to criticize this comment would be to find a counterexample instead of overextending to a commentary of society at large.

Yep, high chance. People post almost everything and this is too interesting to have been missed posting on social media.

I think the writer's point is that Kubrick has been analyzed _to death_ on social media. It's true - there's a huge ecosystem of YouTube explainer videos, listicles, in-depth articles about his shooting style, camera tricks, editing, symbolism in his films, etc. So, I don't think he's actually wrong. In previous decades there was an ecosystem of books and magazines about films (for example I have books on the making of Dune, the making of Blade Runner, the making of Star Trek, books of essays on X-Files, Serenity, and Cinefex magazines that go into amazing detail on how the visual effects for Lord of the Rings were made). But most of this sort of thing seems to have shifted to online.

  My point was that these details can't possibly only be noticed by "the ecosystem". Movies are for everyone. Most just don't care enough to mention it. Just because a bunch of nerds didn't notice something doesn't mean nobody else has.
