This week’s request comes from a great friend of GFB, artist Marina Kavinaki whose wondrous works you can FIND HERE!
Marina asked for Jack Nicholson in The Shining to be sausaged.
As you can see from this section of the film The Sausage on Jack’s head drove him to break down “That Door” originally using a Meat Pie Head Axe.
Stanley Kubrick later re-shot the scene with a more traditional axe head.
The second photo shows Shelley working out if she can swallow the dreaded Meat Pie Axe Head as it crashes through the door panel.
That must have been some tough pastry folks (note the hand crimping on the pie too – touch of class).
We gingered Jack a few months ago – here it is again!
IS THERE ANYTHING OR ANYONE YOU WOULD LIKE A SAUSAGE ADDED TO? LET US KNOW!
And who can forget the classic line “I want a sausage sandwich, and I want you to hold the sausage between your legs”, delivered in that classic Nicholson drawl.
Who could forget, indeed, Guap?
Jack’s back!
Lovely touch with the pastry.
I thought so Sean!
You are right about the hand work on the meat pie. The truth (you can’t handle the truth) is Steven King hated the movie when Stan went back to the standard ax head. Steven thought a meat pie carried some symbolic weight regarding the madness of the sausage infused rage Jack was exhibiting. Fine job of undercover work Jim.
It is my life’s mission to bring the truth to the people John
Creativity at it’s best. I’m sure that Kubrick has regretted he didn’t keep those scenes! 🙂 Thank you, my friend!!! 🙂
Most Welcome Marina!
A very fine example of a Director’s Cut of Meat. Kubrick must’ve fought hard to get this version released.
Like a demon
Now this is the reboot they need to do, stat.
Director’s cut!
Only Jack can balance a sausage on his head this successfully!
The man is a God!
… Just want you to know these images made me fall off my breakfast nook chair, hit my head and forget who I was for like ten seconds! Thanks a bunch…
great post, by the way!
Cheers – breakfast is the most important meal of the day
Isn’t Ginger & Jack a cocktail? One with a little kick I would say.
Never heard of it Michelle – off to the local cocktail bar to find out….
That would be gingerale & Jack Daniels (bourbon)
Whiskey and Ginger!
Good grief! The delectable sausages and meat pies are making me famished, and then Silk Purse has to pop by and mention a Ginger & Jack to make me thirsty as well. How can I dare to keep coming here if I’m to be tantalized and teased like this???
Keep visiting Kathryn!
Well done, guys!
Marina’s vision, combined with your sausage skills, Jim, makes for a winning combo!
And a tasty treat to boot!
Hahaha, this is an awesome idea. You should do that old movie Piranhas.
OK Andrew I will add it to the list!
Hollywood magic! I saw the Kubric exhibit at LACMA last year, and I think I remember these very special photos. There was a lot of talk about why Kubric removed them from the movie. Too controversial, I suppose!
Highly Debra! Everything ok after the quakes?
Yes! Perfect final touch. These scenes would have guaranteed an Academy Award win!
A shoe in!
Love, love, love Marina’s work. Jack’s too, but he is better with sausage. He’s from New Jersey. Are you sure that’s a pasty and not a calzone.
If you want it to be a calzone…..a veggie one of course!
