Aah it's everywhere!!

Bloody intertextuality why do you haunt me so? No i find it very interesting actually. I finally got round to watching The Shining tonight and I'd read that 30 Seconds To Mars "The Kill" video was based on but i never knew how much until now having never seen it before but it's very blatant and cleverly done (and with far prettier people in it)

Ooh and Danny riding round the Overlook Hotel on his squeaky trike reminds me of little Damien in The Omen riding round on his trike before mowing his mother over!

Haha talk about translation between genres xD  I didn't think the translation between the novel and film was very good at all but this is genius! It's very clever how editing certain clips of a film out of context and having a voice over than everyone associates with family films can make a psychological horror appear to be  an adventure and comedy family film.
