Well I agree with you on one pretext, it's a ashame the the movie the mist had to be marketed as a horror film to get people in the theater because it was soo much more than that. This movie was completely a perfect and profound point behind it. People inherently group together and separate from one another. When Darabont wrote the new ending he knew people would laugh at the movie and walk out early. He knew there would be people who didn't think for one second that leaving the grocery store was a good idea. He knew there would be separation of religion and science.

If you think this was a bad horror movie you might be right. It didn't have to be a good horror movie, it just needed to look like one enough to get people in the door to see it. Unfortunately even still people who were in the theater were going to be pissed the super hero didn't kill the bad guys in the end. There are people still out in the world who thinks a good ending means sunshine and rainbows. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie where the protagonist failed in the end, and being surprised like that is a good thing.

Even better, it's essentially the worst possible ending for the characters. It's a bleak, shocking, and depressing ending, which is what makes it great. Most filmmakers (and writers for that matter) just don't have the ***** to turn around at the end and say "Hey, you gave it a good try guys, but there won't be any happily ever after for you. You're going to die, and the bad guys are going to win."

The ending of the novella was a bit more optimistic as opposed to the movie but I liked it very much. I wonder what Frank Darabount will do next? He seems to have a knack for making good film adaptations.

I never got to see Backdoor Mountain, some of the namby pambies in charge in UT refused to show it. I'm pretty sure there's slightly more Senator Craig's in the MST area of this country than anywhere else.

Even the Dalai Lama visited briefly and said how unbalanced it is. [&o]

I personally never seen the movie and have absolutely no desire to see it because it is absolutely outside my boundaries of acceptance each and everyone of us, has a choice as to how were going to leader our lives personal choice is something that citizens of this country has earned the right to. Paid for by many lives and hard work. But we should all sit down these personal boundaries if we just socially except everything . because it might infringe on one's right to express themselves is in some part what has leading to social and moral decline in this country it's hard to imagine, but at one time conduct like this would've gotten you more than run out of town on a rail or poor conduct in general. It amazes me that as a society we were able to except that certain members of Germany's military doing the second world war was not accountable for their actions because they were only for filling an oath that they had swore to uphold. I am in no way condoning their actions but if we had that kind of commitment to honesty loyalty and Truthfulness our society would be in 100% better shape
BTW
Sorry for Getting off the Topic at Hand

Did you just compare understanding the the mechanics behind the Holocost with the acceptance of watching alovestory where the participants are men?

After a few minutes of writing (and erasing)a rant, I know the answer. The Media. It always amazed that the Germans, while in the middle of a war for the survival of theircountry, would expend such resources to gather, poison, andincinerate millions of people. We all respect German engineering, efficiency,logic, and science, So how did this happen? I guess we don't know the Marketing Plan of the **** party and how at that time so many good smart people could be duped into genocide, we haven't heard HOW the jews became hated. We haven't heardWHY the jews were singled out and blamed. These reasons will die off sincenobody will ever be allowed to present that side of the arguement to the public on the history channel, or Steven Speleberg will never make a movie where the Hero is an Aushwitz guard.My guess is that there were reasons that it happened, none of them great reasons of course, but reasons good enough to the Industrialists and Soldiers of Germany that participated in the the extermination of millions of people because they were told to.


Fast forward to Brokeback Mountain where Hollywood is always trying to shock up with nonsense to make money. They created a buzz due to controversy and took a mediocre, distasteful movie and made it HUGE. People only know what they are told, whatever is told to them the loudest and most often become their belief. So maybe if tens of thousands of intellegent men can be convinced to attempt to exterminate an entire culture, maybe people can be made tobelieve that a movie like Brokeback Mountain was great.

Hardcorp, while you understand your bounderies and why you have them, not everyone is that clever.
