I really appreciate all your kind words nonetheless. I really think Dennis's set-up was brilliant, so brilliant that I bought the trailer right away, fool that I am! But it's so much fun that I've gone back and watched it several times. Look forward to seeing you and your wonderful family very soon! Bring on the TCM Scene It!

Thanks very much for stopping by. I hope <I>SLIFR</I> becomes a regular destination for you. I'm certain that your site, <I>Hell on Frisco Bay</I>, will become one for me-- from what I've seen, you've got a really good thing going there, and I hope to become a regular contributor to your comments sections. Blaaagh, as a resident of the Bay Area, I highly recommend you check this site out too. You can click on Brian's name above, or check out my sidebar-- I just added <I>Hell on Frisco Bay</I> to it. Green Cine Daily is great for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is getting to connect with fellow bloggers and other film fans. I look foreward to hearing from you again, Brian.Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1128288790231704962005-10-02T14:33:00.000-07:002005-10-02T14:33:00.000-07:00I was directed here through greencine daily, and I...I was directed here through greencine daily, and I love this line:<BR/><BR/><I>"adding that most changes could be equated to the difference between a "C" note on a musical scale and a C-sharp"</I><BR/><BR/>'cuz, you know, those notes are so similar to each other you can barely tell the difference, especially in the context of an A chord.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1128275637671978482005-10-02T10:53:00.000-07:002005-10-02T10:53:00.000-07:00And, for the flip side, so to speak, check THIS ou...And, for the flip side, so to speak, check THIS out:<BR/><BR/>http://www.ps260.com/Trailer/westsidestorytrailer_small.mov<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1128202376210694752005-10-01T14:32:00.000-07:002005-10-01T14:32:00.000-07:00Indeed...In case any of you missed it at the botto...Indeed...<BR/><BR/>In case any of you missed it at the bottom of the article, there's now a link to an article in the <I>New York Times</I> concerning the little mini-phenomenon created by this <I>Shining</I> trailer.

And thanks for your generous defense, M.A.B. I actually did think it was a joke, but I imagined it, while I was watching it, to be a joke played by the smug Kubrickites who had "restored" the film. Nevertheless, I at least should've realized it when I saw the web address at the end.

You're very devious. I knew beforehand, so I could appreciate how evil your posting was.<BR/><BR/>In blaaagh's defense I watched the trailer in a different location on the Web (criterionforum.org, posted by somebody named "two mules," to give credit) and without knowing whether it was a gag or not (but without Dennis' elaborate introduction).<BR/><BR/>At first I thought it was some horrible video trailer that perhaps was attached to some low-budget crap and trying to get stupid people watching some really stupid movie to watch The Shining. But by "Solsbury Hill" it was obvious it was a joke!! So I sympathize with you up until that point! :)<BR/><BR/>- The Mysterious (A)Dri(an) Be)t)am;axAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1128063166638628842005-09-29T23:52:00.000-07:002005-09-29T23:52:00.000-07:00Well, my dear Thom, I must say I'm VERY red-faced ...Well, my dear Thom, I must say I'm VERY red-faced now--as soon as I logged off and started thinking about it (it took my brain awhile to start functioning again, having sat through "Man on Fire" tonight), I realized that it was an obvious hoax. Of course, it was a hilarious and brilliant hoax, but you're right: I should've seen through it immediately. In my own measly defense, I can say that I did virtually fall on the floor laughing, though I was perplexed by it--whereas Mrs. Blaaagh, when I insisted she come in and watch it, immediately laughed her head off and proclaimed it the work of some internet imp. I should learn to listen to her, I suppose. I can't wait to get down there and grab hold of the controller for TCM Scene It, to restore my dignity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1128061081937515662005-09-29T23:18:00.000-07:002005-09-29T23:18:00.000-07:00Whaaaa--?

That trailer is, er, either a very smart piece of tongue-in-cheek something or other, or a very strange way to market a movie whose tone is nothing like what they're selling. Very intriguing indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
