Actually, she might lean more with Steve, I'm finding that I'm pretty much one of the only people to think it's one of the best films of last year. :S

Well, I remember reading "The Mist" many years ago but I can't remember how it ended. Don't know if the movie follows that or not, anyway!

Re: Testy Area 51


Oh, BTW, I watched John Cameron Mitchell's "Shortbus" last night. After a somewhat "WTF!?!?" opening scene, I rather enjoyed it. I thought the James/Jimmy couple was really sweet. The peeping tom character and his occupation (mostly expanded on in the deleted scenes) was kind of a head scratcher, though.

Re: Testy Area 51


Thank You All for the B-day wishes.


Sorry to disappoint you Rick, but no G-flick on my B-day.

Instead my annual B-day film/movie was......

Spoiler:



Otherwise a business as usual day for me. Trip to the dentist, grocery shopping, take cat to the vet, lay on couch and watch TV. Nothing special.

Not bad for someone who turned........ 44

Re: Testy Area 51


My NetFlix "The Mist" arrived today, so just perfect to watch it this Prince Kuhio Day holiday!

I really liked the movie -- very well cast and didn't go over the gruesomeness line for me. I don't recall seeing Thomas Jane give such a good performance before, and Marcia Gay Harden has that self-righteous speechifying down pat.

As for the much-debated ending -- I thought it was PERFECT.
Spoiler:
I cannot imagine any other way the film could have ended with both a sense of closure and such emotional wallop. I listened to Darabont's commentary just for that closing scene, and he stated that the ending for the novella (which I've forgotten) was that they simply drive into the mist, fates unknown. That would have been way too open-ended to make a satisfying film, and taking a cue from a passage in King's novella, Darabont found the perfect conclusion.
