Thursday Lovin': Shining Remix

I found this and thought to myself that it would be good example for my Intro to Viz Com class of how narrrative is constructed in film as the little movie shows how elements from the horror movie The Shining can be reworked into a faux-preview of a romantic comedy.

My colleague pointed out, more brillantly, that it'd be a good example of how media can be twisted and meaning extracted and replaced - in essence, how propaganda could be made by remixing story elements.

Regardless, it is very funny. Check it out.

Oh God! Now I have to go back and watch "The Shining" just so I can appreciate how good the clip is. It's always more homework with you!
