I imagine a similar reaction ensued when the makers of Die Hard found their Nakatomi Plaza.

There's no such thing as bad publicity though. The hotel used for the location shots in The Shining, and the one the interior sets were modeled on have both warmly embraced their connection to the film. ;)

Just this week I was at the hotel and diner they filmed "Twin Peaks" at. The hotel was already a $500 a night place, so they dont care, but the diner really embraces the "Twin Peaks" thing up and down.
