In Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, a novelist who accepts a job as caretaker of a seasonal resort in the Rockies. To pass the time during the cold, snowy off-season, he starts to write what he dreams will be his breakout literary novel. Instead, he slips slowly into insanity as the seclusion of the resort, and a spirit from the past gnaw at his slipping grip on reality. After working for weeks at the typewriter, he has pages and pages of text, but his wife, sensing his change in demeanor, inspects the work he has done so far. To her horror, she reads an endless melange of one specific verse, written in unorthodox variations. What is the line of text that Jack has written?

In Repo Man, anytime any specific product is shown, be it soda, cigarettes or beer, it has one specific thing in common with the other products shown in the film. What specific attribute did they all share in common?

Could it be none of them are of a specific brand...or, in other words, that they are all generic?
