Well, that's pretty evil, isn't it?

All the more so because I actually installed Windows Media Player to  
view it (VLC and mplayer both scoffed derisively and muttered  
something rude about ridiculously paranoid proprietary codecs that  
are no better than the Open Source ones, and gave me audio only... I  
hate streaming media...).

Am I the only person in the world who actually liked the made-for-TV  
miniseries version of "The Shining"? I mean, since it was made by  
someone who read the book before embarking on the production?
