The Shining was on tv recently. Remembered it as a shit movie, but liked it now. Still not a fan of Jack though.

Was it in the remake (the miniseries)? Tried watching it, but decided against it after the first half hour. Pure shit.

If he's referring to the hedge animals coming to life outside the hotel, that is indeed in the mini series.

I thought that was also in the original version? Or at least implied.
