A Shining Example

So I finally saw The Shining, and it was pretty good. But rather than a review as such, I thought I'd bring you this quiz:

"People In This Movie Are Not Like You and Me" Quiz

1. You are a man who is stranded in an abandoned hotel with your family. You think you might be going nuts. You...

a) Radio for help and get the heck out of there.
b) Put more structure into your day so your duties take your mind off things.
c) Go for another drink at that nice bar full of evil spirits. After all, you have a tab...


2. You are a woman with a psychotic husband and a possessed child. How do you spend your evening?

a) Night classes. What, are you kidding? The minute my kid started to refer to himself in the third person, I made the cops take us away in a helicopter. I've been rebuilding my life for three weeks now.
b) Practicing self-defense in the kitchen of the hotel where I'm trapped. That guy tries one more thing, I'm going to go all Buffy the Jackass Slayer on him.
c) Taking a nice nap. The possessed kid won't mess with that knife I laid down beside me--he can't even work out that R_E_D_R_U_M is "murder" spelled backwards!


3. You are a nice chef who's a little worried about that family trapped in the snow across country. What do you do?

a) Call the cops a few times, maybe make enough of a stink to get someone to check.
b) Offer my friend back in Colorado $500 to hop in his snow vehicle and make sure the family is okay.
c) Stay in my room full of naked-lady prints and drink. A lot.
d) Spend countless hours and dollars to get back west, because even though I'm receiving psychic messages and know for sure there are evil spirits there, hey! what could go wrong?


4. You are a horrifically decayed ghost who can pose as a beautiful young woman. You...

a) Work on getting the heck out of room 237 so you can become the world's first supermodel!
b) Enjoy the fact that you may be disembodied, but still get to take a nice, long bath.
c) Mack on a guy who looks like Jack Nicholson.
d) Go tell everybody in the bar full of evil spirits how you used your power to scare the piss out of that asshat caretaker who looks like Jack Nicholson.
