its been raining off and on today... that's something good... things seem to be good all around. its nice to feel a little more worthwhile and appreciated. and loved back.
The other night we watched "The Mist" of course I've seen it many times but the ending still bothers me.. the poor guy shoots everyone in the damn car including his little son, and then doesn't have a bullet left for himself... on top of that, a few seconds after this mass mercy killing, the mist starts to clear and here come the army people to the rescue.. . how is this guy supposed to live with himself.. i wouldn't be able to. yeah, its Stephen King... but that ending sticks... sometimes when i watch that movie i just turn it off before it ends... It makes you ponder things best left un-pondered... could you do what that guy did? could you live with the guilt afterward or would it drive you mad..? The Mist has a Lovecraftian feel to it.. with the dementional rifts and whatnot, but really the creatures in the mist aren't murderous... they are just doing what they do... what they do, however isn't really compatible with the life on our plane of existence.. and really, that's the scary part.
