Isn't running with sharp objects a bad thing?

If it is, can someone PLEASE explain to me why Shelley Duvall is running like a ragdoll through the Overlook Hotel with a 10in kitchen knife?  A little wrist tension to keep that blade from winging about, how about it sister?

At this point, the only person I want running with sharp objects is my socially clueless neighbor that has his head up his rear and insists on listening to John Mayer with the power bass setting cranked to 11 while I'm trying to study the wide spectrum of endocrine disorders.

I can't decide if I wish to give him my fantastic Wusthof knife set or wish a case of thyroid storm on him.  Not a bad one, just enough to make that stereo be quiet until after my exam Wednesday.

Please, please, please, please let it be just a year lease...
