The Mist

[Narac01]

The lady they show at the very end deliberately looking at him, was the one who left the store at the beginning of the movie to find her two kids. Unlike both store factions she came out completely fine, which is what he was trying to point out i think.

Lent this to my friend and he watched it with his GF. Neither one liked it, but his GF said she cheered when

The Mist was good but at times it really didnt seem original. The Pharmacy reminded me so much of Aliens.

The hellfire preaching was absolutely annoying and I wanted the bitch to die the entire time and then it finally happened I shouted YEAH!!!!

The ending was fucking lame with him killing everyone else and then stepping out to mist receding

What the fuck are you talking about? What in the blue fuck does that have to do with the religious zealot being right or wrong in the context of the movie? Seriously. Fuck you.

Well, since the end of the movie shows several people that were in the store on the back of army trucks looking directly at the guy who killed his son after the mist cleared, I'd think thats more of an assumption.

I believe the only people he noticed was the lady in the very beginning who asked for help escorting her home. I don't remember seeing anyone else from the store.

heh.

Finally saw it and loved it. I don't understand why people are complaining so much about the ending. It shows shit isn't perfect and sometimes the good guys or the people that mean well don't always win the end. Sometimes things get backwards and irony kicks you in the ass. It also seemed to portray how people would actually react in a situation like this, where you have the hard-headed skeptics, religious fanatics, and everyone in between. No one was really like "OMG monstars, where did they come fr0m? I dunno, lets all get each other killed by doing the dumbest things evAr!" and not really question WTF is going on or why. Plus the song that played towards the end "The Host of the Seraphim" from the Baraka soundtrack was a perfect fit. I don't know, maybe I'm just sick of happy endings where everyone sits in a circle holdings hands while singing Kumbaya.

Finally saw this, avoided thread, blah blah.

Loved it. The only way the ending could have been better is if they did it a little something like this (with shitty mspaint illustrations!) ;

1) Dad outside car, having just done what he did, screams for them to come and get him. Pan up.
2) Pull back, the truck begins to be lost in the mist.
3) Car almost totally gone/is gone from view, something moves into frame for just a moment from the righthand side. Was that...? no...
4) A mass of writhing tenticles in the ocean off the east coast, so large that they occasionally crest the top of the Mist that seems to cover all of North America, and the Atlantic.
5) Money shot. Earth as a grey globe, the true size of The Beast can be seen now, as well as a gigantic Eye on the end of a stalk, and would be scanning the mist during the pull out. Maybe, have the Eye turn to the camera, blink once then either hear inhuman laughter (gibbering madness) or have it quickly pull back under the mist.
