"Perhaps mimicking the obsessive nature of his protagonist, Kubrick shot every scene in The Shining multiple times. The famous sequence in which Shelley Duvall waves Jack Nicholson off with a bat while he advances on her? They filmed it 127 times. Kubrick shot 60 takes of a wordless scene in which the camera simply pushes in on Scatman Crothers in his room, eventually prompting the 70-year-old actor to break down in tears. Most fascinating is the pantry scene in which Crothers’s character discusses his ability to “shine” with young Danny. It’s a fairly straightforward scene of dialogue, yet Kubrick required 148 takes to get it right. Unsurprisingly, the boy who played Danny never acted in films again."

I know he was like.. the boss and stuff.

But surely you would tell him to go and get ****ed and if he wanted 127 takes, HE could do it himself.
/then I'd yell to the camera, "make sure you pan the **** OUT when this one steps in front of the camera".
