This is what would happen if Hollywood decided to recut "The Shining" and release it as a romantic comedy.

That was actually pretty funny. Shows you how formulaic Hollywood really is.

What? It was a romantic comedy! I remember how hard I laughed when Jack popped through the door and said “Honey, I’m home”.

Are they saying the editor is more important than the writers or director?

That is absolutely hilarious! Great catch. That just goes to show you how powerful music really is - Nicholson looks menacing, creepy or psychotic when they do the original trailer but with this one and the light music, he looks just fine.

You mean it wasn’t supposed to be? I laughed pretty good when I first saw it.

Hahaha, I saw that a couple of months ago. It’s awesome! You have inspired me to post my own entertainment-related video. Keep an eye peeled for it!

I got a chill thinking about that scene! I remember jumping out of my seat at that one!

Also remember SQUEEZING my date's arm and screaming in his face for about a minute and a half when the shark jumped out of the water with his bloody mouth gapping open in Jaws! I don't think that guy ever asked me out again, either!

I was just kidding of course when I said I laughed. That movie creeped me out. The scene in the bedroom with the boy saying Redrum over and over made my hair stand on end. I love Kubrik movies and that’s one of my favorites.

Great post thanks for the laugh.....

I loved that movie. The book is really, really freaky too.

You must think that Sling Blade is also a hoot.

You should see the remake of TopGun Mountain in there ..... creepy what splicing and the right music can convey.
