Unfortunately, it was so in 1997...
I believe it was a TV mini-series

If I remember correctly it had one of the guys from the TV show Wings playing the Jack Nicholson character.

Sorry guys, but I've seen both versions of The Shining and read King's novel, and the 1997 version is closer to the novel, for what that's worth.

Yeah, but it doesn't have Kurbick's godly presence.

King sh*ts bestsellers. He almost says so.
"The Shining" isn't my favorite anyway. Just pointing out the comparisons. I like JN as an actor anyway.

Vibrationbaby (Ian) asked me to post this picture of him " rubbing shoulders with the higher echelons of the Montréal aristocracy.
From left Marcel Tremblay, Ron Francis, Montréal entreprenuer, Ron
Francis, VB and the Mayor of Montréal Gérald Tremblay. Much
was discussed and accomplished on this auspicious occasion."

I think the mayor was the only one not hammered in this photo.

- Stanley Kubrick's original though, not the execrable remake.
