para, you know what the movie shining is about right?
well some guy turned it into like a hollywood chick flick feel good about yourself trailer. complete with a soothing soundtrack and voiceover. the edits are perfect in the sense that johnny is depressed and can't make it as a writer, so they go to the hills and become one as a family. it's brilliant they way the guy did it.
the trailer would lead one to believe it's something like 'when harry met sally' or whatever. very funny when you know what the movie is really about.

my favorite is where we see the little boy start to open a door (and know from watching the film that he is about to see a dead body/ghost thing), and the announcer says, "sometimes what we need the most is just around the corner," and the music breaks into peter gabriel's "salisbury hill".
