The Shining??

So big news for my beloved town - last year Fernie was chosen as THE SPOT to film the latest and greatest movie Hot Tub Time Machine. As you can tell from the title, this is a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, applauding at the great storyline, definitely up for Film of the Year!! Okay seriously, us Fernieites were pretty thrilled to see Main Street transformed, John Cusack in town, and many locals had the priviledge of being an 80's extra!! Now that the movie is out and people all over the world are flooding the theatres to see it, us small town folk were wondering what kind of GREAT publicity Fernie would get. Little did we know that we would be compared to .... the shining?!?! Seriously?!?! Watch this video clip:

I have to admit, I did laugh through the whole movie, but this is one that you do NOT want your children to ever watch! And for those of you who have never visited Fernie, we are not like the shining! Here's a beautiful picture of downtown to prove it (wait, do I see a lone hitchhiker?)
