The mist was an alright film. It was a little gory in places it didn't need to be. They never mentioned the Flat Earther term, which I always thought was clever. I actually read the Novella "The Mist", and I didn't like it that much. King never really added an ending to it, so Darabont had to write one. Anyways . . . Yea I will admit a lot of his stories endings suck. As for the dark tower . . . Well its the journey, and not the destination that matters. However a lot of his books have pretty good endings, Pet Sematary for example. And finally . . . Dean Koontz aint nothin' compared to Stephen King. After reading "The Bad Place" I made a promise I would never read another one of his corny, over the top, pathetic novels again. He fucks everything up. The story, the dialouge, and the worst thing he fucks up is the mentality of all his characters. Well theres my two cents
