I think that's why I actually like Steven Weber's performance in the mini-series much better. Nicholson had already played a couple of slightly unhinged characters, so it wasn't a surprise that he was doing it again. The miniseries did a better job of showing how his drinking was an opportunity for the Overlook to get in his head and to then be able to show him still in there enough to tell Danny to run at the end. Letting Nicholson have that moment never would've worked because he already had such a creepy vibe from the beginning. It didn't feel like as much of a descent.

Ah, I was hoping that someone would bring up the miniseries. It's a bit hokey in all its 90s glory, but Weber was a great Jack. And Rebecca De Mornay was leagues better as Wendy than Shelley Duvall. (Even despite knowing the horrendous conditions that Duvall was subject to, she just never ended up creating a character that I could feel sympathetic for.)

Honestly, the only real issue I had with the series was the kid playing Danny, haha. And it wasn't even that he was a bad actor (for a kid), it was just...I wanted to rip his lips off, I swear. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, KID.

Not gonna lie, Weber is MY Jack. Sure, he is not as good an actor as Nicholson, but he totally sold me the loving father turned into a monster due to inner demons.

That last scene when he tells Danny to run gets me every single time.
