I'm watching it. I'm about 20 minutes in and I can't tell, yet.

Yes, It's good

The Sceneman · « **Reply #2 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:11:19 PM »

you wouldnt like it, turn it off

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #3 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:20:00 PM »

What makes you say that, Scenester?

So far, it's just safe/mediocre.

Enl · « **Reply #4 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:20:12 PM »

Starts off ok but then it takes a nose dive into sheer awfulness. Worth the watch just for a good laugh at the stupid ending.

I want an animated .gif of Cusack attacking the mini-fridge.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #6 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:25:33 PM »

Oh. My. God.

There are some Wicker Man, Cage-style moments of unintentional humor. The best bit is when Cusack freaks out and turns over his coffee table, making his wife cry - then walks out completely calm and goes, "I'm going to go get some cigarettes, okay?"

BamYouHaveAids · « **Reply #7 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:28:00 PM »

no. turn it off immediately.

i liked it and the ending was neat

are you watching the tc or the dc? the latter has an uninteresting ending, apparently

Eric P · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:32:15 PM »

I've seen it on GAF lotsa times. Its ace.

Samuel L. Jackson pwns his scene. The rest of the film defines "polished turd".
edit: Found it, boo-yaa!

It's enjoyable, but not particularly great.

The Mist is the superior King adaptation of 2007.

It was fun to watch in a theater. Shutter was better though.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #15 on:** June 01, 2008, 09:32:36 PM »

Watching The Mist. It's already better!

The Mist is great. I loved the story when I was younger and was very happy with how the adaptation turned out. I also really like how there's practically no score in the film. So few horror films do that nowadays and I feel it really adds to the tension and mood of the film.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2008, 09:50:55 PM »

@ gif and vid

That can't really be it can it? That' youtube?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #20 on:** June 01, 2008, 09:59:35 PM »

I swear to God, AdmiralViscen! I laughed out loud.

The Mist rocks so far.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #21 on:** June 01, 2008, 10:22:46 PM »

Every time I rewatch it

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2008, 10:27:49 PM »

"I'm going to go get some cigarettes, okay?"

The Mist rocks. It's basically RED STATES vs BLUE STATES: THE MOVIE. And just like in real-life, the red states rule.

I assumed 1408 was made to be a little campy. It HAD to be. I enjoyed it for what it was worth. I'm used to bad King adaptations and I deal with it because I love King

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #25 on:** June 01, 2008, 11:18:12 PM »

The Mist > 1408

Thank you, Willco, for finally laying this to rest.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #27 on:** June 01, 2008, 11:43:24 PM »

The Mist rocked. Anyone that doesn't like the ending is an idiot. Also, I want to see it in black and white now.

TVC15 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 01, 2008, 11:52:28 PM »

The Mist is probably one of my favorite genre flicks of recent years. I agree with Frank Darabont, though, in that it just feels better in black and white. It does make it kinda feel like a movie from the 50s or 60s, plus I think it works better with the visual motif.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #29 on:** June 02, 2008, 12:01:10 AM »

I was playing TF2 one night, and some guy started spamming

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tom Jane's screaming at the end of the movie over and over.

The whole server was pissed off, but I was laughing my ass off.

The ending was the only good part. Darabount should have hired a leading man that didn't mumble.
