Shining- Movie or Miniseries?

[John Q. Public]

A few years ago, Stephen King made a new version of the Shining because he apparently hated Kubrick's. I personally think it dragged on way too long and that that guy from Wings, Steve Weber, is no substitute for my man Jack. It just can't comare to those sweet Steadicam shots and distorted perspectives from Kubrick's. I also didn't like Rebecca DeMornay as Jack's wife. She;;y Duvall, as ugly as she might be, just seemed more realistic. Surprisingly, I've read quite a few few favorable reviews for this piece of crap miniseries. Which do you guys prefer?

No contest...hands down..the movie.

No contest...the 1980 Stanley Kubrick version. No one can "out-Jack" JACK.

If anybody says they prefer the TV "Wings star" version of The Shining they don't belong on a movie website like this.

you know, for a loner you are one smart cat /ubb/wink.gif Definitely the flick, I mean TV don't cut it...

[Hypnotic Eye]

Argh. While I Hated the made for Tv one, the original has always been one of my favorites...hmmm tough one... which do i think is bettter...

I'm going to have to go with the movie. It kicks arse. The tv version is just well, the arse being kicked.

I couldn't even watch the TV one, it was too shitty.
