‘The Shining’ as a feel good drama?
My friend Alexis Larsen — she’s the Editor of GO! here at the DDN — sent me something really hilarious. You may have seen it making its way around the blogosphere. (I think I spotted similar stuff linked from the AV Club.) According to the Tattered Coat:
A post-production house organized a competition where assistant editors ‘re-cut’ trailers for famous movies to try and make them seem like different movies…
Apparently this one was the winner: ‘The Shining’ as a feel good adoption drama (You’ll need Quicktime. Here’s a mirror.)
Chicago: Sorry for my absence the last few days. I was off on an extended holiday garnering absolutely no page views — but still winning last week’s DDN blog competition! I spent the weekend in Chicago with friends shopping and dining. I even had two great moviegoing experiences. I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm at the brilliant Music Box Theatre and Dave McKean’s fantastic first film, Mirrormask. More on those later.
Funniest movies: Thanks to you guys for keeping up the conversation on your favorite comedies. I’m still wondering: What are the funniest movies? I’ll try to further the conversation soon.
And remember: Shine on.

The redux Shining trailer was priceless. I nearly died I was laughing so hard. It’s really amazing what a little bit of expert editing and cheesy music can do to change the tone of a bit of film. Many props to Alexis for sending it our way.
