20 Things You Didn't Know About The Shining
14. Kubrick MIGHT Have Written All Of The Lines On The Typewriter Himself
One of the problems with making a list like this is that there's just as much unfounded rumor about this movie as there are genuine behind the scenes stories. And then you have stories like this where you're not really sure one way or the other where this fits in.
Considering that it would be another 5 years at least before home computers where a regular thing when this movie came out, one must wonder where Kubrick got all the typewriter papers that read the famous line "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
Now it could be a prop, but more than enough evidence suggests that Kubrick sat down and meticulously wrote every single line. Sure, his typewriter has a built in memory, but just looking at the above image suggests otherwise because a recorded memory wouldn't make so many obvious spelling errors.
Add onto that the fact that the prop department were at no point asked to make something like this, the papers are sitting in Kubrick's actual typewriter, and that we're talking about a guy KNOWN for this kind of insane attention to detail, and it isn't a hard conclusion to draw.
