Many cocktail recipes call for a splash or more of dry sparkling wine - but not all "brut" sparkling wines are dry as promised and previous random purchases at my local ghetto liquor store have proven to be bad choices.
Recently I reached out to bartenders on Facebook for advice on particular brands and/or categories of dry sparkling wines that they use in cocktails. I've pasted their responses below. Apologies for the formatting.
Nick Britsky: I'm a fan of Piper Sonoma.
Will Hollingsworth: Codorniu Anna de Codorniu Cava Brut. the codorniu original is good too, but the anna is lighter/crisper/dryer, which i think makes it better for cocktails, whether there's simple syrup or lump sugar in them.
Andrew Marks: Verichon and Clerc blanc de blanc
Gareth Wainwright: I'm using a boutique MCC from Elgin in the western Cape for my French 75 going onto my first menu. Super crisp collar enough fruit to see the other flavours shine through. Having a bit of pinot menieur also adds to earthy flavours when working with smoky whiskies or London dry gin. 100% chardonnays in my opinion are just a little too flat but Charles Fox NV brut is my weapon of choice... For now. Otherwise Belstar Prosecco is in my Bellinis
Maggie Campbell: I stay away from the rubbery smell of cava and use German Sekt. Cheap!
Jennifer Seidman: Campo viejo cava, cheap, dry, yummy.
Ran Van Ongevalle: Cremant De Loire ! Silex !
Ben Belmans: Depends on the recipe
Gene Samuel: St hilaire blanc DE blanc. The Cocktail it is used in is the "Goodbye blue sky" that Andrew Pollard created
Seth Marquez: Anna cordorniu!
David Greig: Krug.
Drew Garison: Secco from Charles Smith
Michael Martensen: Castellar Cava
Jennifer English: Segura Viudas
Jabriel Donohue: Torreorea Cava Brut, spanish producer from Requena. Good balance of price and quality for the Oregon market.
Robin James Wynne: Henry of Pelham catherine cuvee and rose
Scott Baird: i prefer cold duck
Justin Cardwell: Jeio bisol prosecco
Anthony DeSerio: Depends on the cocktail. Mostly mionetto il cost effective and versatile.
Jen Len: Depends on the cocktail but definitely Crémant if cocktail calls for super dry yeasty champagne. Prosecco is always great for a touch of fruity and offdryness. Not many great cavas so I haven't played much with it.
Chris Bostick: Marcel Martin Cremant de Loire. Agreed with Jen Len and the Cremant comment. Best affordable option for classics imo.
Gabriel Lowe: La Marca for me (wine warehouse last time I checked), dry, cheap, delicious.
Dennis Lapuyade: Cremant de Bourgogne. The one from Jean-Paul Brun is excellent. Must be dry and chalky.
Rafa García: Febles Casteller's Cava is what we use and what I've seen in a few other bars around here. It's creamier and more flavorful than a lot of other cheap Cavas.
Jason Kosmas: I have used Zardetto Prosecco since 1998
One day science says drinking will make you live forever. The next day science says it will kill you tomorrow. Good Booze, Bad Booze is an Alcademics category where I put all these stories together.

Here's something you already know: Sparkling wine + Floral liqueur = fun drink.
I hadn't realized until I started writing my latest Fine Cooking blog entry just how many new floral liqueurs have hit the market.
In recent years several new floral liqueurs have been brought to market, including St. Germain (elderflower), Esprit de June (grape vine flowers), Rothman and Winter Crème de Violette (violet), Crème Yvette (violet and berries), Fruit Lab Theia (jasmine), J. Witty Spirits Organic Chamomile, and Loft Liqueurs Organic Lavender.
So, here is the rest of the story.
I recently received a review copy of Champagne Cocktails by Jared Brown & Anistatia Miller. The book was first published in 1999 and they've just released a 2010 edition.
The book's description is:
Fancy the classic Champagne Cocktail that Esquire magazine called one of the "Ten Best Cocktails of 1934"? Lean toward something more daring like the creamy, frothy Soyer au Champagne crafted by 1840s celebrity chef Alexis Benoit Soyer? Looking for a modern elderflower-scented sparkler like the Waterloo Sunset or a Negroni Sbagliato? Or are you simply an unrepentant sipper of the bubbly in any way shape or form?
Then you'll love the revised and expanded 2010 edition of Miller's and Brown's 1999 classic, Champagne Cocktails. Among the 135 cocktails in this breezy tome, you'll find recipes, tips, wisdoms, witticisms, and wacky quotes from such diverse sources as Voltaire and the British comedy hit Absolutely Fabulous.
Whether you're pouring a Spanish cava, an Italian spumante, prosecco, or franziacorta, a German sekt, or something French this holiday season, you'll find a cocktail--an even a food accompaniment--to suit your taste in the pages of this classic Miller & Brown volume.
The book will soon be out in a Kindle/electronic edition, which will be great because that means it will be searchable.
The book's recipes are grouped by drink category, rather than alphabetically. Each section lists a history of the main drink in the category, like the original Champagne Cocktail or the French 75, then list cocktail derivatives afterwards. More than the recipes, I loved the information and trivia before each drink.
The book is available at Mixellany or on Amazon.com.
Sleeves! Sleeves! Sleeves! Everything in sleeves!
Moet-Hennessy found the hot new look of the season by putting sleeves on all their products.
Perhaps they were inspired by the champagnes they put in sleeves a few seasons ago, like this attractive ice jacket for Veuve-Clicquot. Sassy!
Then they did the same thing with flasks of Hennessy V.S. just this year.
So fresh! SO funky!
Thinking ahead for fall, they knew it would get chilly, and said, "SLEEVES FOR EVERYONE. EVERYONE GETS A SLEEVE!"
So they did one for Chopin vodka. It's the puffy jacket for potato vodka. FABULOUS.
Starting this July, Rickhouse in San Francisco will offer a summer drink menu, because apparently the fifty cocktails on the regular menu are all seasonally inappropriate. (I kid!)
The regular menu isn't online, so those of you reading from out of town an get a glimpse of how it looks with its tiki bar-reminiscent descriptors (and low prices).
Note: Root beer and absinthe! Again!
Rickhouse Summer Cocktail Menu
Ginger's Trois $8
It's as light and effervescent as the twinkle of a clouds silver lining. Snappy and sparkling, this bubbly cocktail provides every minty answer you desire, and all without the trouble of having to ask a single question.
Plymouth Gin, Sparkling Wine, Fresh Lime, Fresh Mint, Fresh Ginger and Bitters
Cherry Blossom Cobbler $8
From the depths of the Orient, comes this sultry and seductive tigress that is heart-bent on sending a shock through your fingers and a chill up your spine. We insist you proceed with caution, lest you lose yourself within its snowy abyss.
Yamazaki 12 year, Organic Cherry Blossom Jam, Fresh Lemon Juice and Seasonal Fruit
Sutter Street Swizzle $10
Brazen and uninhibited, this beverage makes no apologies for its chilly disposition. For alas, even within the great depths of the Amazon will you find nothing quite as alluring and enticing as the subtle, yet untamed flavors of this exotic spiced beverage.
Cachaca, Falernum, Pineapple Gomme, Fresh Ginger, Fresh Lime Juice and Bitters
The Big Dig $8
A delectable and enterprising adventure that is attractively saturated in the sweet taste of lost inhibitions. Seasonal berries and sarsparilla sweetness unite to form an appealing combination that is one part carbonated fizz and one part summer bliss.
Beefeater Gin, Fresh Lemon Juice, Organic Raspberries, Artisanal Root Beer and a Dash of Absinthe
High-Plains Drifter $8
Earthy and mean, this glass of bad attitude is known for providing courage to the brave, and a kick in the pants to the timid. It's just the curly wolf to have in your corner when you're going through the mill and there's trouble in the air.
Rye Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth, Amaro Nonino and Celery Bitters
Berry O'Brien $8
A drink that is as attractive to the ladies, as it is suitable for a diplomat. Do not let its innocent flavor fool you, for this drink is precisely the right combination of Whiskey served tall with just a dash of Irish charm.
Jameson Irish Whiskey, Fresh Blackberries, Fresh Lemon Juice, Ginger Beer and Bitters

Despite her self-consciously sleazy stage shtick, Chantal Claret, the busty rock chick who leads this New York electro-trash act, doesn't quite muster the live-wire esprit of her scene sister Karen O, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman famous for pouring beer on herself. Luckily for her bandmates, Claret doesn't seem to know this: Throughout Morningwood's self-titled debut, Claret struts, pouts and sasses with so much scenester-kid conviction that she gives the band's post-Elastica wriggling a dash of character it'd surely lack without her. In "Jetsetter" Claret switches from little-girl coo in the verse to grown-woman roar in the chorus so easily that you're not sure which (if either) is the put-on. As he's done on records by the Pixies and Foo Fighters, English alt-rock veteran producer Gil Norton builds a similar sense of dynamics, which gives the songs more electricity than they've really got. Opener "Nü Rock" grinds away at an average-sounding stoner-rock riff, then explodes into a controlled blast of sex-bomb fury. And like some forgotten Queen B-side, "Nth Degree" (in which Claret spells out the group's name in fine demented-cheerleader form) goes for pretty and loud at the same time. It's harmless, hollow fun.

The Disability Information Office of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville is part of the ADA Compliance Division. It operates as a liaison between the ADA Compliance Division and the public, answering questions about disabilities and related resources, and maintaining and heightening the public's awareness and understanding of disabilities and people with disabilities.
The Disability Information Office is pleased to be a part of ACCESS NASHVILLE, a cooperative effort by a group composed of people with disabilities, advocates, and concerned citizens. Members of the group assessed certain establishments and attractions in Nashville and have rated them on their accessibility. Just formed in 2004, Access Nashville's first set of ratings.
Nashville has many large and small organizations that provide various types and levels of service to people with disabilities.
The Disability Information & Referral Phone Line serves to direct callers to those local resources that may be able to assist them with issues related to their disabilities.
The Disability Information & Referral Line number is (615) 862-6492.
It is generally staffed Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. If no one is available to answer, callers may leave voice mail.
Although the Disability Information Office cannot assist individuals with getting disability payments or resolving disability claims through Social Security or any other agency, we offer the following referrals that may be able to assist you: Social Security Administration Disability Determination and State of Tennessee Disability Determination Service (both use the same phone number)
In Nashville, call (615) 743-7300 or Toll-free (800) 342-1117.
Some people may also be eligible for disability payments from other sources such as pension plans, employer insurance, private insurance, or the Armed Forces. If you might qualify for such payments, you will need to work directly with the appropriate agency.

Dialing 711 works whether or not the person placing the call is using a TTY, since operators who answer use voice and TTY.
Alternate numbers for the relay service

Woo podcast!

Yes!! Talk about some comic news at the beginning for the podcast. And you guys take almost an hour and 30 minutes to talk about the weekly comics. It would be awesome to make the weekly comics discussion much shorter.

Looking forward to Long Beach next weekend, see you there!
"Honey, I'm going to the man cave. Podcast time."
Mat and Corey aren't reading the best comic being published CALLED DEADLY CLASS?
Awesome podcast this week btw.
I'm so over futures end I miss my regular books.
@undeadpool: Are you going to give Supergirls new creative team a chance? Issue 35 a new girl Kate Perkins is going to be taking over with Mike Jonson who co wrote the book till issue 19.
Tony Bedard was trying to take her in a more positive direction if you read the doomed tie it just seems every time the book gets some where its cross over time or new creative team change. But the covers for 35 and 36 give me hope she is actually smiling so progress at last.
I liked the news section in the podcast I think you guys gave enough time for everything. Its unfortunate there won't be a podcast Wednesday. The only comics I got from this week's releases were Elektra #6 and Nova #21 but I did get to catch up on some books and got Death of Wolverine #1 & #2, Ghost Rider #5 & #6, and X-Force #8 and #9

If the boss wants to move out of California, discreetly mention San Diego County has no earthquakes, utterly accessible proximity to downtown, a unique sense of county-wide community, enigmatic five-lane parking lots known to move forward, world-class art exhibits, and unprecedented access to the ocean. Don't move to the east coast ... snow is evil ... life is good in Carlsbad. :)
Edit: Also, when did opening a book and skipping thru the pages count as reading for the week ... shame. Great podacast anyway, as always.
I would rather have a Wonder Woman or Birds of Prey show than Supergirl.
Batinthesun just did a Casey Jones vs. Kick-Ass video and it was great.
I think the Spider-Woman cover "controversy" is just silly overreacting like with the PowerPuff Girls cover and Harley Quinn suicide page.

I agree with Cory concerning Ultimate Spider-Man. I mean Miles has now met three different versions of Peter Parker and a different version of Mysterio.
I want to send you questions what is the email? I can't find it saying ti on the site anywhere sorry. You might say it at some point in this episode but i'm in the middle of this episode now so I don't know.
The first Purge movie was awful. All of those characters are brain dead morons. The only enjoyment I got out of it was making fun of it. I haven't seen the second and don't intend to. Still, a comic series could actually work well with the concept. I could see someone like Robert Kirkman making a great comic series out of it.
I always love the after credits

@liveforever: thanks
Great podcast.
Drove me crazy that it took you guys that long to get 'Linda Danvers'
Liked No Ordinary Family, Julie Benz was the actress. There is so much comic book television and movies coming out. I didn't hear you mention the Lucifer series for Fox.
Sam Jones(Flash Gordon) was in the movie "Ted", basically as Gordon. Jones now runs his own security firm, working primarily in Mexico.
Move to Oregon, Tony, it's great here. And you split the difference between California and Washington.
@blue_shield: There's also a big comic book community there. Lots of creators plus Dark Horse and Oni. I'm bummed I didn't make it to Rose City this weekend. But since Long Beach is next weekend, no way I wanted to spend two weekends away from family.
Tons of comic creators here, Greg Rucka and Karl Kesel are regulars in the grocery store I work at.
geeks taking over the world! so so true
I've always preferred the Screw Attack Death Battle. The live action battles from the Machinima video's are awesome but I prefer the way Screw Attack looks at each characters strengths and weaknesses. Although I think in the end they just pick the person they like the most.
Does anyone else have a preference?

By Dave Smith, Senior Street Survival Instructor & Betsy-Brantner Smith, Street Survival Instructor
On September 1st, 2009 Patrolman Chad Spicer and Corporal Shawn Brittingham of the Georgetown, (Del.) Police Department were on patrol when they heard a general broadcast detailing a shooting that had just occurred in the parking lot of a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
They quickly located a Chrysler Sebring with 20-year-old Christopher Reeves at the wheel and initiated a short pursuit before the vehicle abruptly stopped in the Kimmeytown neighborhood of Georgetown. According to news reports, Brittingham and Spicer's cruiser stopped alongside the suspect vehicle with the passenger door of the squad car next to the driver-side door of the Chrysler.
Reeves fled on foot but sitting in the rear passenger seat was Derrick J. Powell, armed with a handgun. Neither officer had time to exit the cruiser before Powell began firing on them, striking Chad Spicer in the cheek. The round exited below Spicer's left ear and bullet fragments struck Brittingham in the neck.
Powell then fled on foot while a third passenger, Luis Flores, reportedly stayed at the scene and attempted to render aid to Patrolman Spicer, who later succumbed to his injuries after being transported to the hospital. Chad Spicer is the first Georgetown police officer to die in the line of duty and he leaves behind a young daughter, his parents, and a community in mourning.
Thankfully, Corporal Brittingham is expected to make a full recovery.
High risk traffic stops are extremely dangerous. Four other American police officers have been killed this year during traffic stops, two of them during known to be high-risk situations. One of the best ways to honor these heroes is to review them with the intention of remembering how we can keep ourselves safe under the worst circumstances.
It's been 39 years since the senseless murder of four young CHP officers during a high risk traffic stop in a restaurant parking lot near Newhall, CA. Remember the lessons learned from that terrible day and honor the sacrifice of all law enforcement heroes, past and present, by training, sharing, and working hard to keep each other safe.

November 29, 2014
Around 5-thirty Sunday night, a brush fire ignited on Geiger Grade... near Toll Road on the border between Washoe and Storey Counties.
Just about one year ago, the Andrew Lane fire burned about 2700 acres in this same area.
Fire fighters say this time it was a great example of successful wild fire fighting.
Chief Joe Reinhardt, with the Nevada Division of Forestry, also says It's an example of why the wild fire season is far from over.
"A gentleman was up off-roading in his dune buggy... it sparked a flame and started the fire."
Although the fire only burned about 10 acres, the canyon provided just the landscape for the flames to build speed as it ran up the hill, directly towards a home.
This danger is so high, officials warn about being safe, especially off-road.
"This is not a restricted area... and he was driving on the road, so he was trying to do the right thing."
Fire officials say at least 20 engines, one hand crew, 2 air tankers and one helicopter helped to quickly contain the blaze.
But, weather also played a significant role in keeping this fire from taking as much land as last year.
"Until we get some significant rain.... we still have a significant fire season in front of us."

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
Character has died, but can't enter heaven or hell
Up for Grabs if someone has the gumption to take this over. --DracMonster A character has died but cannot enter Heaven, The Lifestream, his next Reincarnation, or what-have-you. It's not that he's destined for hell instead, he can't pass on to eternal anything. It may be his fault due to Unfinished Business, getting a little too cheeky with Ol' Grim, or being True Neutral and thus not good or evil enough for heaven or hell. Alternately, being left in limbo is this universe's version of eternal damnation. For some souls, such a state could actually be worse than Fire and Brimstone Hell. On the other hand, there's plenty of outside factors that can cause this: His remains didn't get their funeral rites, the Celestial Bureaucracy can't find his ticket for the Afterlife Express, or Death went to Hawaii instead. The Flying Dutchman / Wandering Jew legend in general sometimes has this thrown in. Most likely he'll end up Walking (Or Floating) The Earth as a Ghost, but more rarely he may be forced back into his decaying body as Undead. Other fates include being stuck in the Afterlife Antechamber, or shunted to The Nothing After Death. Or if he's really lucky he may get Cursed with Awesome, Coming Back Strong and maybe even immortal. (Though that can suck, too.) Like a Badass out of Hell is another subtrope. Could count as Nightmare Fuel. Except in a serious case of Downer Ending, he or his next-of-kin will probably get a chance to Set Right What Once Went Wrong at some point. Death Trope alert! Unmarked Spoilers! Abandon hope, ye who read past here!

Each year just before the holidays, we reach out to our community to ask for your support. Your contributions help us continue our efforts to find care and a cure for DM. Read our annual appeal to see what's on the horizon for 2015!
This year's oversold conference, held last month in Washington, DC, was arguably the most successful conference to date with unparalleled participation from researchers, industry and federal agency representatives and a number of programmatic "firsts."
Dr. John Vissing and his colleagues at the University of Copenhagen recently tracked a group of 68 adults with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), measuring their endocrine function change over 8 years.
The Myotonic Dystrophy Family Registry had a phenomenal first year, thanks to the robust participation of MDF community members. The Registry has enrolled almost 1,300 registrants, and along the way has served as a critical tool for clinical trial recruitment discussions and important DM research projects.
On Friday, September 26, 2014, the MD-CARE Amendments were signed into law by President Obama!

In 2013 Leon Vitali (who served as a personal assistant to director Stanley Kubrick during the filming of 1980's "The Shining") was asked to give his candid opinion regarding Rodney Ascher's documentary called "Room 237".
This film, which came out 32 years after The Shining's original release, features five faceless people who offer their own personal interpretations of The Shining, a movie which they all adamantly claim holds all sorts of truly fascinating and mind-boggling "hidden" messages and meanings in its imagery and its storyline.
Well - To make a long story short - In just 3 small words Vitali quickly summed up Room 237 in a literal nutshell - (And I quote) - "It's pure gibberish!" - (End of quote).
And, you know what? - If that's how Vitali views Room 237, then, hey, that's good enough for me, as well.
Now, I don't want to get too carried away here with my criticism of Room 237, but I do want to say that this is the sort of documentary that (if you're insane) will make perfect sense to you. It places you right inside that kind of illogical mentality.
Room 237 works solely on the assumption that director Stanley Kubrick (just like "God") worked in mysterious ways - And, with that, he made The Shining not as horror-movie entertainment but as a seemingly endless barrage of metaphors (for this and for that and for just about everything under the sun).
It's worth watching if you're a bit of a film geek, and I do love the ideas of hidden symbolism and that an author's intent is not always essential to a viewer's interpretation of a work of art. That being said - wow, some people have a lot of time to develop these theories. I agree with reviewer Bewlay that the panel discussion in the extra features was a hoot (example - someone goes on & on re the symbolism in a chair being present in one shot and not in another; Kubrick crew member says flatly, nope, just a continuity issue). Folks, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I think the best part of this film is the panel discussion DVD extra where Kubrick's crew member slams the entire premise of this film.
a horrible, horrible, horrible waste of time.
i was excited to see this movie. i'm not the biggest fan of kubrick. for me, save for a few of his first movies, he's too self indulgent, too cold, to cerebral, and hellishly boring. so, i thought, the idea of a movie about people like me, who adore constructing theories about movies, might be the thing to make me reconsider kubrick. instead i was subjected to 2 hours of the most absurd film theories i've ever heard.
this is how *not to* construct a film theory 101.
these people were concocting theories about anything and everything. a can of noodle soup in one scene? great, the movie is about cooking. wtf, people? look: if you're going to construct a theory about a film the main guide has to be consistency. does your theory hold true for the whole film? are there things that might refute your theory in the film? does the symbolism you apply really build on other symbols? they never bother to ask these basic questions, so the result is a waste of time.
the worst is the one about how the building interior could not have existed irl. seriously? it's called editing. considering that you could say the same about 98% of movie interiors AND exteriors, why is this in the film? have they never seen a chase sequence in a film? they are always geographically jumbled. this made me think, does she--- or the film makers--- even understand the way films work?
the only thing that is more incomprehensible than this film is why anybody would make or even want to watch this film more than once.
An unnecessary film.
It's not often you get to watch a movie about a movie, and this one is very compelling. We learn how detailed Kubrick is with his movie making, his love for structural patterns in particular. I'll have to re-watch The Shining now.
Ok first I was expecting a horror movie not the history, theories, etc about a horror movie! I was hoping for a nice scary movie, that said it was interesting to see all the theories and people with way much time on there hands to come up with this stuff like overlaying the film with one going forward and the other starting at the end going backward and seeing how it all lines up oh well it comes down to this it's a movie about a movie pretty well done so if you are into that this is for you
I had no idea the shining had this kind of following. truly.
Enjoyable as a tribute to Kubrick, as a look at people's obsessions and as a tweak at film scholars. Great soundtrack too. A lot of fun.
I can tell you right now, that "Room 237" is going to be a lot of fun to review due to the fact that the film itself is merely "fun" and not much more. The film consists of several people obsessed with Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic, "The Shining". These conspiracy theorists begin to express their opinions on subtle moments in the film and what the film truly means. It's a genuine marvel observing these people claim that "Room 237" is a metaphor for the American Indian genocide, for the the holocaust and even a statement on how Kubrick actually was the one to fake the moon landing. The theories go on and on, and I must say, there wasn't a single moment I wished it would end.
Is there any truth to what these people are saying? In my opinion, I think it's complete nonsense. I believe that Stanley Kubrick simply wanted to make a more interesting film that his previous film ("Barry Lyndon"). I am not a huge fan of "The Shining", and I admit, I am one of the few people who cannot see why it is considered a masterpiece. Nonetheless, my lack of respect for the film did not diminish the quality of "Room 237".
I take with me from "Room 237" even more evidence that people will look for meaning where there very likely, is none. People are so obsessed with complete understanding of the world that they will invent utterly ridiculous theories. I think that's the subconscious intent embed into the film director, Rodney Ascher. I highly doubt this message was a reason for making this film, but it most certainly is there. Perhaps there's truly nothing to analyze in both "The Shining" and "Room 237", but people will always have an obsession to find a hidden message, because we can never accept the act of not knowing.
One could praise "Room 237" for being able to create a decent film with such a low quality, but personally, it created a distracting sensation that occasionally tested my patience. For example, during one of the audio narrations by the one of the conspiracists, he gets up and starts getting his cat/dog/baby to shut up. I truly cannot see anything this would add to the film, and I bet that it's probably in there for some kind of joke, but I was simply frustrated by it and nothing more. That said, the film's low budget is very clear throughout, in fact, the only footage used in the film is that of Kubrick's films and footage of the Overlook Hotel. One could claim that this adds to it's focus on "The Shining", but to me, it felt restricting. I cannot blame the film for having a small budget, but I felt as though I was expected to excuse the film for all of it's budget related flaws.
I've done enough criticizing of "Room 237" because I don't want to give the idea that I did not enjoy the film, because I quite liked it. The greatest genius that has emerged from this film is how well it knows it's audience. The clear target audience is the cinema lovers with will suck anything Kubrick related up, especially in depth analyses. Again, not being a fan of "The Shining" will make me the outsider on this one, but you can clearly tell how well Rodney Ascher has rolled the dice to ensure respect from the audience.
Overall, "Room 237" is a fun film for any film lover. I'm the living proof that you don't even really need to enjoy "The Shining" to enjoy this film. The movie is witty and clever, however, it's certainly flawed.
