I've been in the midst of a discussion with someone about the pop-gospel, the warm/fuzzy overlay of the hiss underneath (for those who have ears to hear)...this illustrates that PERFECTLY. Especially when you put it in contrast with this trailer.
Actually, if you want a real object lesson to stick with you, try this one on for size. You'll never hear "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" the same way again.
'The Shining' book is MUCH better than the movie. No wonder Stephen King was disappointed with Kuubric's interpretation of it. In the book, Jack Torrence is a pitiable man because you can see how hard the battle is for him to fight evil. There are lots of Christian themes in the original story.

I think my favourite one of these is the horror-styled trailer for Mary Poppins.
You know, your new picture goes with everything. Just love it!
I think I remember that; maybe I'll queue it up for an "eventually."
So....Jack Nicolson CAN play a nice, fatherly type figure when he wants too....NOT!!!!
Lol, great post Dan.
Heeeeereee's Johnny!

Oh yeah. The original is a very creepy, well-done movie.
