Re: The Shining?

I see your point about "better," and agree on Dead Zone: so-so novel, pretty good movie (starring Chris Walken didn't hurt).

However, I thought/think that The Shining was a pretty good book within its genre, and imo Kubrick hosed it up...mostly by chaging the ending, and secondly by casting Shelly D. Even Scatman, who I usually like, doesn't fare well here.

This is the ONLY laserdisc that I've owned and traded in...I just can't are to watch it. Even the suck-up critic Leonard Maltin, who never met a major motion picture he didn't like, gives the Shining a medioccre two star rating.

Ah, well, to each, their own.

All the best,

Gary
