The Shining (as Romantic Comedy!)

By Dennis Dermody

Here's something I think is genius -- someone reconfigured The Shining as a romantic comedy! Made me laugh out loud all weekend.

Comments

What made me laugh even more was when Warner Brothers used chopped footage from the opening scenes of the Shining at the end of the studio released version of Bladerunner.You know the happy ending horrible voice over narration which was originally released in theaterS ....because they figured an audience would not like a existential realistic ending or that we would hate Ridley Scott for telling us witht hat unicorn scerne that Deckard was in fact a bladerunner himself....I could go on and on .....or you coUld just read Future Noir ...the Making of Bladerunner...
