Post-production editing has to be the funnest job ever. You don’t often think about the Power wielded by The Editor…but it is Broad and Far-Reaching. Case in point: this new trailer for the original The Shining.
Makes it look like the only scary part would be trying to get Ash to go with me: “Is that, like, a girl movie?”

Oh, no. They did NOT use my man’s “Solisbury Hill” in this trailer. No, no, no. Nobody messes with Monsieur Gabriel.

You’re right – it could be the trailer for “Ya-Ya Sisterhood”.

Ash doesn’t like girl movies?

Yes, they DID, and they get extra points for Really Funny Use of Peter Gabriel.

He doesn’t like the IDEA of girl movies, and then grudgingly admits he enjoyed them afterwards. VERY grudgingly.

Well, I don’t like the IDEA of there BEING girl and boy movies, but that’s a whole other ball game.

You’re right, I guess The Man would approve the tongue-in-cheek quality in the use of his song. I guess.

but you should have saved it for Phreaky Phriday Intra-web Day posting. Now you have to come up with something even wackier for friday. (Yes, this is now a thing.)

Nobody tells me anything!

Not to worry – I’ve got the trailer for West Side Story in my back pocket. And it RULES.

The West Side Story trailer is seriously awesome.
