Saw the Mist last night...

And it was quite good. Unfortunately, we had a sucky audience, which detracted from the experience somewhat. Ah, well. It was still good (but very, very, VERY bleak).

Also, as not-really-a-spoiler-but-maybe-a-hint-of-things-to-come: the main character is an artist who does, I quote, "Movie posters, that sort of thing," and at the beginning, he is working on a painting of a lean, leather-clad man with two guns, with a tower in the background and a red, red rose curling to the side.

May mean nothing.

The ending bleakitude could have been a little less heavy-handed. And it /desperately/ needed different music. I normally like Dead Can Dance, but it wasn't the right choice for that scene. Broke the tension and went on far too long.

'went on for too long' -- oh gosh, could it be "Host of the Seraphim"? :>

You guessed it. :D
