2010 DVD Running Time 142 minutes ? ?


What are the two minutes cut from the 2010 DVD release at 142 minutes? (ASIN: B002VWNIDG) UPC 8-83929-09161-4. Initial US Theatrical time 146, then 2 minutes from ending cut = 144 minutes. But what is cut to give this DVD 142 minutes? (If you don't know, then don't bother an answer "I don't know"...)

I heard Kubrick continued to edit his films even after release sometimes.
This sounds like it may be the case.
I never saw the shining during it's initial release but to anyone who did...did the scene with Ullman at the end make it to the screen in it's early release?
That would probably be about two minutes.

I don't think anything was cut, to be honest. I own the 1990 144 minute version, along with the 2001 142 minute version and 2007 144 minute version. I recall reading they made some slight edits with the title screens (CLOSING DAY, 1 MONTH LATER, etc) so they match up with the soundtrack. But it's still the same movie.

You've had your whole *beep* life to think things over!
