I just finished watching The Mist and I can’t help but write about it.

I can’t believe I wasted my time on this… I don’t even know how to define it, it’s just one wrong letter away from the perfect anagram. I must confess it is definitely not my favourite genre, but this is so lame it’s hardly bearable. 7.4 out of 10? Are you serious, IMDb? This may not be the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but goes straight into my Top Ten, and I get the feeling that if I ever have the guts to watch it again, which is unlikely, it might end up at a close second place.

But the real mistery is that it’s been directed by Frank Darabont, just like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, both also based on novels by King. Maybe the man needs prisons to make good movies, so let’s throw him into one, just to make sure he doesn’t get lost in The Mist again.

Works from Nicoletta Ceccoli are showing at Roq La Rue Gallery, Seattle.

I’m so happy for Nicoletta, who happens to be a good friend of mine.

This is a major event for her, I know how much she cares about this and I whole-heartedly wish her all the best.

One of the feeds that survived my recent, very severe pruning is Geek and Poke.

How this guy is able to keep coming out with the funniest, wittiest comic strips at such a steady pace is completely beyond me. I just hope he keeps on this way.

Highly recommended!
