Not bad company to be in, however. The ending clearly divided the audience... there was a noticeable silence, as people were unsure to begin clapping, because their mind couldn't yet comprehend that that was IT. Love it. <BR/><BR/>Also I discovered I can't tell the difference between Javier Bardem and Ciarin Hinds.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-33734110937401515162007-11-09T08:53:00.000-08:002007-11-09T08:53:00.000-08:00HA!

I remember having the same experience at school (staid, UK public school mind you) with WAde Williams' "Midnight Movie Massacre" (of all things). tit's and brains do not a classical education make (it's quotes from Alexander the Great that does that, as every fan of Hans Gruber will know). <BR/><BR/>Congrats on "Wrong Turn 2"'s deserved success again, Joe. I told you it was fucking disgusting at Frightfest. It remains gloriously so.<BR/><BR/>And screw you Americans for getting that trio of greatness -- the UK has to wait a couple months for "The Mist" and "No Country...". "...Gangster"'s next week. Cannot wait. But then, I'm a "Hannibal" fan.giles edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537728734150695069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-42566000899227093282007-11-06T17:44:00.000-08:002007-11-06T17:44:00.000-08:00Joe - Yeah that's actually very true man.

It's pretty much a given it's going to be good good good if not great.<BR/><BR/>Now, to point out a Freudian slip...<BR/>Joe wrote "misex with the amazing sound design"<BR/><BR/>Um. You had sex with the sound design? IS THAT HUMANLY POSSIBLE!?! But I'm glad you found it amazing.

Screw School! (No, School is good, but your teachers suck)<BR/><BR/>Sean- Yeah I just saw THE CONDEMNED and feel the same way about employing "Shakes The Cameraman" on certain projects. I love Verite, but only if its used effectively....and THE MIST uses it so well, misex with the amazing sound design, actually makes you believe YOU ARE IN THE STORE. Its pretty accomplished stuff, and the more I think about it, the more I respect EVERY decision Frank made on this film. The more I let it sink inside my mind, the more I think its practically a perfect film. Hope you like it. <BR/><BR/>Staying Scary,<BR/>JoeJoe Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199633565281331495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-75547266892900476172007-11-03T05:10:00.000-07:002007-11-03T05:10:00.000-07:00On THE MIST:"the DP from THE SHIELD""with the amaz...On THE MIST:<BR/>"the DP from THE SHIELD"<BR/>"with the amazingly seductive verite look of the film (with its doc-like zooms and sloppy focus)"<BR/><BR/>Oh no. <BR/>That was all SO distracting to me in THE SHIELD and one of the main reasons I couldn't get into the show.<BR/>I think the above technique is overstylized, as well as over used these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145390412729466673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-49530905182097098642007-11-01T13:31:00.002-07:002007-11-01T13:31:00.002-07:00hey joe i saw your movie in nyc, the crowd went l...hey joe <BR/><BR/>i saw your movie in nyc, <BR/>the crowd went loved it<BR/><BR/><BR/>i even bought it the next day, and showed it in this movie club at my school. Some kids actually left, because of the gore, but the people who stayed loved it. I got called into the office the next day though, and was told not to show anymore movies that involved such "graphic depictions of violence". <BR/> <BR/><BR/> - Daniel HennessyCinema Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318886539123991817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-342107155661055542007-11-01T13:31:00.001-07:002007-11-01T13:31:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cinema Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318886539123991817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12229023.post-38886288863589437702007-11-01T13:31:00.000-07:002007-11-01T13:31:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cinema Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318886539123991817noreply@blogger.com
