i'm not arguing that at all..
(for the record i like the Shining (Kubrick) and i wouldnt even bother to see the TV miniseries ...)
but the flip side of this are the botched attempts .. unneccessary deviations that distract. If i can think of a good example i'll give one.
a fan of the book will have some expectations ... they dont want to see radically different story and that's fair.
i agree that quibbling over nonsense details that have no bearing on the mood or feel of the film is just silly..
