I just remembered that a terrible looking TV series for The Mist is coming.
lol, all those shitty horror movie endings. Reminds me of Descent, which had its ending changed from hopeless (i.e. kinda like The Mist) to idiot jump scare between regions.
The Mist is somewhat special in that it doesn't shy away from revealing 'good people' to be just as bad as anyone else. The social is not the moral, and every pretense -as RLM points out with the logic of the main- is cast aside in the movie. That is what's great about it.
The rest, like the ending, is kind of just fluff. It's that uncompromising vision that makes it worthwhile.
Also, if you think that's a depressing ending, watch Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. Or just about any episode of The Outer Limits. I never get complaints about "the ending was good enough", in particular because changing it destroys the fucking story. You might even argue that the ending of the short story is actually even worse, which Jay really should have pointed out, because in that onethey arrive at a different town, but the mist remains, presumably indefinitely, as it kind of functions as metaphor. The movie shows that it does end, which is why it's such a punch to the gut. It's a literal perversion of the "must have a happy ending" trope, which is what I mean with 'avoiding pretense' since there are happy endings in reality either
Is that Christian lady?It's funny, The Descent bucks what they said of the jump-scare ending being a recent thing. The North American release of the movie came out like a year before The Mist and did exactly that.
Marcia Gay Harden is goddamn fantastic. In The Mist she is everything that can be terrible about Western society thrown into a bad situation with willing ears. She's so fucking hateable.

I always thought it was, like, the darkest Twilight Zone ending ever.Which is funny because it feels like a Stephen King ending
Is that Christian lady?
*throws peas*
Which is why we have to recognize just how amazing her performance when just the thought of being with that character again makes me want to punch a wallShe's the main reason why I don't re-watch The Mist. I'm totally fine with the downer ending, it's the thought of having to spend an hour with that psycho that keeps me away.
Is there a compilation of Mike torturing Rich on Best of the Worst?
If not there needs to be.
I wonder what kills Rich first, his CRIPPLING diabetes or Mike's endless torture.
Booze will kill Mike long before anything happens to Rich.
Rich will dies from Erotic asphyxiation jerking his droid to yearly star wars films before that happens
Jay will commit to a murder/suicide pack with both Mike and Rich, shoot them both and jerk off on their corpses, only to chicken out and be left unable to take his own life and spend the rest of his years in a mental clinic long before that happens.
You really went to a dark place on this post, didn't you?

Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans watch Rouge One: A Make-Up Story - listen to their exciting commentary as they watch the most boringest Star Wars film ever.
Beating a dead horse, huh? At least they acknowledge it.
Shrug, they made a career and name out of star wars bashing. I enjoy more of it, not really a lot of other places go that in on attacking star wars as more of a cultural phenomenon than incredible movies.
I think they like Prometheus too much too be a total riff, but it has too many flaws to be that positive.finally, a reason to watch R1!
still waiting for a Prometheus commentary, bought the 3D version almost 2 years ago!

Listened to half of it, it's pretty funny. RLM are at their best when they're discussing Star Wars.
Mike did say he wanted to do more with that movie in the HitB.So the answer is clear
The next commentary should be Star Trek beyond

This is so random. I guess at least the movie is on Netflix (I think).New Commentary Track!

Maybe if prometheus had been shat on more we wouldn't have more movies coming out where the scientists in these sci fi movies keep doing dumb shitI'll never understand how they were so relatively soft on Prometheus. It's SO MUCH WORSE than almost anything they've ever talked about on Half in the Bag, and it's bad in exactly the ways that usually really nag at them.
