The Mist?

Hi,

Loved the film,loved the irony of the ending,loved the fact that this film managed to show the good and bad side of human nature,and can't wait for The Mist 2: The Other Side,(don't know if it will happen,but i would love to see what this other dimension looks like)!

You are keeping the king alive...if yo want to know whats on the other side just imagine the first thing that comes to mind...like Steven does...And i doubt he can come up with somethin better than you

Wow, i agree with the ending, No way could I do that, No way, Fight till you die....


now with the military, opening another portal, i have always wondered about this, its insane to think of what is going on right now in some lab or bunker somewhere...... Specialy with genetic engineering..... YIKES~!~!~!

those things were HUGE.... wouldnt gravity bring them down? if we are talkin interdimensional being then we are talking a whole other set of physics for them an such right?


I think we have more to fear from humans than fear itself.... lol

AWESOME movie, so funny you posted this, I was just thinking about it! in a month time in Russia we're doing our first atom smashing.... which is suppose to reveal the possibilities of other dimension, so this may not be such Fiction after all if we do happen to open a gateway by accident!

Ps. I wanted to strangle that religious woman with my bear hand, good I wasn't there!

should I start diggin a hole now?

I dont like this atom smashin bizz, in some sorts i understand its for discovery, but if the possible risks out weigh the possibility of life continuing, I dont think certain aspects should be attempted untill a plan B for life is achieved......

ah, but I wouldn't. In times like that, I would pretend to be a bible thumper along with the rest of them, out of fear of being murdered due to intolerance. Because seriously, when all the fluffy talk, gift giving and talks of faith and charity, the most pronounced element of the entire Christian faith is the obsession with end times, and the crazy torture and suffering that come with it.

Scares the Jesus right out of me.

I would think if your religous u wouldent act in a monsterous way but we dont know what religion is capable of doing these days?.

Thinking of that i would get a group of non belivers together and start a new religion of how to make things better. Like really make a change not like the religous people are doing that anyway.

thay are waiting for something from higer power to come save them

reply to post by Trance Optic


Not really alot of the movies out these days are rubbish and thay allways have good endings everyone happy and the bad person allways falls in some sort of bad end like death destruction or something else movies are made to make ppl feel better.

What stephen king did was take that and play with it and make that not everything is good true?

Tell me we do that isn't threating the continuation of life....Destruction is the human way....

Take away religion and see what happens to religous people thay say thats what keeps them together at the moment and sane. Though thay are insane because each and everyone is delusinal

The film would have been better with a different lead actor- IMO. The book was much better and far more mysterious. Being it is my favorite Stephen King story- I was very judgmental about the movie. The book delves deeper into the military aspect of it- as well as the Jesus freak character who was scarier in the book as she was more believable. I love Marcia Gay Harden- but she made choices which weakened her character- in the book she was more stable, solid and believable.

Yeh she wrecked her charector after this movie. I would so not wanna be here at the moment stephen king allways has good books and not allways good films. The shining is a great movie

According to King in the Notes section in Skeleton Crew, the inspiration for The Mist came from a real life experience. While there were no strange creatures, a massive thunderstorm much like the one which opens the story occurred where King lived at the time. The day after the storm, he went to a local supermarket with his son. While looking for hot dog buns, King imagined a "big prehistoric bird" flapping around in the store. By the time the two were in line to pay for their purchases, King had the basis for his story: survivors trapped in a supermarket surrounded by unknown creatures.

Stephen Kings Influences On The Movie

Mrs. Carmody

She is a religious woman with the extreme belief in bloodthirsty God; Mrs. Carmody is driven insane by the scenario and eventually declares that a human sacrifice must be made to rid the world of the mist. She is shot and killed by Ollie shortly before the escape attempt. Mrs. Carmody was initially perceived by everyone involved as borderline insane, but achieves a growing congregation as the story progresses. Perhaps the most benign of the terms used to describe her was "Too Old Testament." At one point, she accuses someone of stealing food; after which she proceeds to sip out of a likely non-purchased pint of milk.

Mrs. Carmody: A deeply disturbed religious woman who gains a cult following as store patrons break under psychological pressure.

The Shining, Misery, Delores Clairborne, The Stand (until the hand of God scene) and Apt Pupil are IMO the best King movies. There were parts of IT that I really liked.
