“Can you refresh my memory about the AIDS remark?”
“The ending to the film version of “The Mist” made us feel like we’d been mugged.”
*****
4 of the major actor/characters from the MIST are in The Walking Dead. That includes the woman who asked everyone in the store to come out and find her daughter and no one helped her while she walked out...eventually seen with her daughter in a US army truck being escorted out.
She plays the mother of Sophia in the Walking Dead.
On the AIDS remark, the old dude who owns the farm was narrating how science has developed cures for everything including the zombie disease and they will eventually overcome it....then ‘slips in the remark that even humans developed a “cure” for AIDS. I have the DVDSCR episode given to us by AMC but will get back on the actual remark.
Going back to the MIST, the original ending was that it was an open ending. Not the depressing crap added to the movie.
Holy cow, you’re right-—I just checked IMDb’s cast list for “The Mist”. Laurie Holden, who plays Andrea in “The Walking Dead”, was one of the main characters.
I do remember the AIDS remark now....it came when Rick and Hershel were out on the porch talking, right after Rick’s arrival. I also noticed that they made Merle, the bad guy, into a Republican. When Darryl got injured in the woods during the hunt for Sophia, he had that delirious vision of Merle, who accused him of associating with Democrats-—the good guys. Typical Hollywood, I suppose.
Very cool that you work on the show. Freepers are everywhere, LOL.
