Howdy all. It's that time again in which I'm half asleep and feel like blogging. So, I'm aware that I haven't blogged in a long time. I could use the excuse "I've been REALLY busy" which is blatantly not the case or the slightly more realistic excuse "My dog ate it" because we recently got a new dog. Choose whichever one sounds better if you wish because I don't actually have an excuse.
No, so the real reason I haven't properly kept up a string of pointless, ranting blogs is really just because I couldn't be bothered. Don't get me wrong, I love blogging but I don't really have anything to say, lets face it.
However, having almost let this blog deteriorate into mush I have decided to bring it back! I will find something to moan about because that is possibly the one thing I can always do.
So I just watched [partly] that awful film The Mist. The film was undeniably crap but I must say there was one thing which caught my attention and that was the ending. Never, in all that I can remember [which isn't acually that much] have I witnessed such a morbid, depressing, frankly pointless ending. They escape from a Supermarket [yes, the WHOLE film is set in a big shop] and they drive and drive and drive and then they run out of petrol so the guy gets out a gun and they all decide they'd rather be shot than eaten by monsters. The twist though, which I actually figured out before it happened, there's five of them and only four bullets. Shocking. So this man shoots the other four [inlcuding his son!] and gets out of the car to give himself up to the monsters only to discover that the monster is actually a tank being followed by cars full of survivers and he's made it to a safe zone. Why would you do that!?! Can an ending possibly get any worse!?!
The answer is no.
In fact, there's only two other films I can think of with such sad endings and those are Atonement and Bridge to Terebithia but those are actually GOOD films so they can get away with it.
