As usual, your response to this post by AC says more about you than it does about the movie. Can't you stop your flaming at least till the end of the holidays? And how do you respond to your giving away the ending to The Mist? Tell you what. Flame AC one more time and you and me got a problem. Got it? Now apologize.

I'm getting the giggles from this one. Better looooookout Maggers. Watch your back. Don't make any long term plans. If you have any unused vacation time you oughta take it now. Life insurance paid up? Smile

P.S. This is the problem with grudge-carrying people. Things get out of control.

No sweat. Nobodies worrying about Steve. Wink

I had tickets for this movie and made the mistake of reading all the threads prior to the spoiler post. Instead of immersing myself in this haunting and violent film I kept waiting for the bottom to drop out. Based on Saynomore's thread I knew fully what to expect. It did detract from the viewing experience.

While he did post "Spoliers. Little ones" the spoiler was quite a biggie. I can see where he tried to make it as general as possible but there is really only one way to read it and it did give away the ending.

But what an awesome film! I found it dark, funny and more horrifying than any horror movie out there.

The oscar buzz is well deserved.

Well, there we have it. The consensus says my post was a spoiler. Aren't these sorts of posts edited by admin when the spoiler is blatent? Can't the words "little ones" be deleted for the sake of harmony on this board? Steve is foaming at the mouth.

P.S. But what did you think of the ending? Seriously. How did the audience you watch the movie with respond?

It was a vague spoiler at best. You guys are worrying too much about small stuff. Now that Tony has supplied much needed independent verification we can all go back to leading our normally happy and quiet lives. Wink

I saw the movie yesterday at a matinee. Oldest crowd I've ever seen for a relevant film. No young people and almost no women. Nobody booed or anything but the theater was only a quarter full, you only get crowd dynamics if you're near capacity. The old folks cleared thier throats alot though. Ahhhhhhrrghhhemmm. It was annoying. They should bring some Vicks with them.

The movie itself was great all the way around. I'm afraid that I might of seen a bad print of the film, with the Cohens storytelling it's hard to tell. At one point it felt like the action jumped ahead and a vital scene was left out ala Grindhouse. Was the mother in law shown dying on screen somehow? I'll have to see it again at a different theater to be sure (I'll bring my dad, he'll fit right in).

No such thing as a vague spoiler, ccos Wink


I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."

I hate coppers.

No. It was "offscreen" in the book as well.

P.S. Unless someone alerts the Queens via PM or email and asks specifically, they won't change anything. That's been my experience.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I'm not all that familiar with you but how many years of Grad school do you have to put in to reach that level of smarmy smugness? I'd guess at least two.
