this happened on a "Mist" talkback... I must say guys, I'm feeling pretty good tonight... Anyone want a peanut butter and jelley sandwich?

Great write up as always Q... Gotta love the behind the scenes stuff...

Unless there's a Young Indiana Jones, I'm not fucking interested.
We have blood- both in this report and from me! by Kamaji	Mar 2nd, 2007 01:35:34 AM
Well, at least I was spurting blood about 3 hours ago- gashed my big toe on some broken porcalin-haven't bled like that in ages (now to only get the stains out of my rented apartment!). Quint, whatever you keep doing, keep giving us the next couple reports like this! This is true 'geeking out' at it's finest, and I'm eating up every word of it. I was skeptical of the tentacle's revision, but the image you implanted in my head of that sucker opening up with those tiny mouths inside ready to tear our [unnamed]character apart some, my jaw is on the floor. I'm going to be going mad for this film. Hell, someone get me to a test screening when Darabont gets this sucker wrapped! I don't care if there is green screen or wires still in the shot. This is my must see movie of the year. Generally I'm not a blood and guts fan (nowadays, most audiences I see these films with are more humored by this stuff than scared by it, which takes something away from me). My biggest gripe is that some idiot, somewhere is at first going to see those tentacles and say 'Ah, they stole that from 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' Though maybe when those tentacles open up, they'll change their tune.
Yeah, Sadler is good people by IndustryKiller!	Mar 2nd, 2007 02:25:40 AM
The guy is just alot of fun to watch. A solid actor through and through. One of the things that always strikes me about his performances is how commited he always seems to be to what he's doing, he never phones it in. I also think Demon Knight is still one of the most underrated horror films out there.
Great reports... by Boba Fat	Mar 2nd, 2007 02:38:26 AM
the giddy excitment adds to them so don't worry about typos etc Quint. I'm amazed at the access they're giving you it must reflect in their confidene in the film and I bet there's a prop tentacle coming your way so keep up the good work. I'm jealous.
Francis Sternhagen by chappai	Mar 2nd, 2007 04:55:51 AM
I remember first seeing Francis Sternhagen as the feisty doctor in Outland with Sean Connery. I fell in love with her outspoken doctor in that film. The set reports are great. Keep up the awesome work. I've loved this story forever. I remember the radio play version and have it on CD. I am so geeked for the release of this film. Such high expectations, I hope it does not dissappoint.
Sounds really cool! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 2nd, 2007 05:56:22 AM
I will obviously have to catch this. Darabont + King = Gold
Hey Quint! by Dr.Zeus	Mar 2nd, 2007 06:00:47 AM
Ummm how about some pictures man??? I mean, I realize it's top secret closed set, or what not. But at least maybe a shot of you in the BreadShop? Milk and Eggs? Chips and Salsa? Hey!....please tell Frank Darabont that we have total faith in him! Shawshank and Green Mile were as fine and entertaining films that i've watched. Hell, I even liked the remake of the Blob and the Fly 2.
Francis Sterhagen was great as Noah Wyles Granny in ER by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 2nd, 2007 07:23:21 AM
Great role. Great actress. And to re-iterate... Darabont + King = Gold
this is awesome. by El Borak	Mar 2nd, 2007 07:53:50 AM
i can't wait for this.
SOUNDS GOOD by connor187	Mar 2nd, 2007 08:22:43 AM
I have not read the book myself but I think thats a good thing. I did the same with the lord of the rings movies. I stayed away from spoilers and didnt give in to temptation and go and buy the books to find out what happend at the end. I have the books now and I have to say they left alot of good stuff out but then again the movies are great anyway. So yeah like I said, sounds good to me so far.
What fun being Quint? by Abin Sur	Mar 2nd, 2007 08:53:13 AM
I've always found set visits to be pretty tedious, but Quint, you paint a great picture of what's going on up there. Sounds like Frank D is shooting fast and furious just like he promised...cheers to guerilla filmmaking!
Sadler=awesome by misnomer	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:06:20 AM
"best of three!" demon knight rocked too
Frances Sternhagen by Anakin722	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:25:12 AM
It's been a long time since I read the story, but I assume that Frances Sternhagen is playing the role of Mrs. Reppler?
I'm so freakin psyched about this by Acappellaman	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:31:47 AM
Boring or not, the way Quint is describing the shots is exactly how I pictured them in my mind when reading the story. I've probably read The Mist at least five times. What a great story. Seeing it on film is going to rock!
Good stuff - can not wait. by kinghenryVIII	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:36:28 AM
Keep it up Qunit - thus far this site has above and beyond washed themselves from the snooze fest that was "Sundance" reporting. Sorry guys - that got old quick - this is more of the greatness that this site was / is! Great job!
Hey Quint - by Vespalad	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:42:36 AM
Ask Frank what he thinks about the possible Dark Tower adaptation. Would he be interested in being a part of it? If so what would he like to do? Any particular book or scene? Direct? Write the script? I need to know!
Awesome, awesome, awesome by Daddylonghead	Mar 2nd, 2007 10:07:01 AM
I want to see this movie NOW!!!
connor187 by charleydontsurf	Mar 2nd, 2007 10:32:26 AM
You really should read the book first. It's just blindingly good. I don't think the film, no matter how faithful or well-made , will live up to the source material. Get it read, man!
Great job by thefreeagents	Mar 2nd, 2007 10:36:06 AM
I am really enjoying this stuff Quint. Keep up the good work. This movie is gonna rock
Sadler = Rorschach by shermanium65	Mar 2nd, 2007 10:37:14 AM
don't deny it
Sadler lovefest? by Kusoyaro	Mar 2nd, 2007 11:02:59 AM
Heh, I went back and checked out the Talkbacks from yesterday...I wouldn't say it was a Sadler lovefest, it was just a couple of posts. Hope he's not disappointed when he goes to look. But yeah, solid actor, loved him in Bill & Ted.
Great reports Quint by Olsen Twins_Fan	Mar 2nd, 2007 12:12:42 PM
and nary a Hot Fuzz reference in part II either. Dare I hope that this is a trend?
Mr. Sadler? by Abin Sur	Mar 2nd, 2007 02:40:10 PM
What was it like working with both Ice-T AND Ice Cube on Trespass? Kinda chilly?
QUINT... by Fish Tank	Mar 2nd, 2007 03:02:30 PM
Like you, huge King fan, though never read Dark Tower books. The guy saying pollution cloud - does that mean there is no reference to military experiments with portals to other worlds (as in the book)? I really hope they reference that as a possibilty. I know we never actually learn if that's what happened, but it makes it more credible than a pollution cloud. Thanks in advance.
Actually Fish Tank by Kamaji	Mar 2nd, 2007 03:20:38 PM
In book version of 'The Mist,' one of the people in the market does say it could be a pollution cloud blowing in.
i've been waiting for this adaptation for so long.. by johnnyjlawless	Mar 2nd, 2007 07:30:33 PM
and now that it is finally arriving, i'm feeling some kind of anticlimax. I've no intention of doing Darabont down, he is exactly the right person for the job. But I just get that feeling that nothing will live up to how I pictured that story in my head. Seeing Norm the bag boy is bad enough. You know what spooked me in that story? The two young soldiers from the Arrowhead project that are found hanging. The implications within that scene spoke volumes. That kind of dread you can't buy, Darabont or no Darabont. But at least we didn't get Garrised.
fuck...SPOILER !! by johnnyjlawless	Mar 2nd, 2007 07:40:11 PM
jesus, sorry. got carried away there.
Another King adaptation? by vivavitalogy	Mar 2nd, 2007 09:13:56 PM
I think they should adapt Myst instead.
Ralph Nelson is a good man by NoPIX	Mar 2nd, 2007 11:13:29 PM
My dad knows him well.
Geekin out again!! by Frank Duckett	Mar 2nd, 2007 11:31:08 PM
this sounds perfect, just fuckin perfect
Bill Sadler by MaxTheSilent	Mar 3rd, 2007 12:18:51 AM
If I was you, Quint, I would have asked him about TRESPASS, an over-looked Walter Hill/Robert Zemeckis classic.
wow by wanna_bannana	Mar 4th, 2007 01:40:02 AM
do not need to see the movie now.
wow - but you'll probably see it anyway... by Flip63Hole	Mar 4th, 2007 08:52:54 PM
But yeah, people in message boards really care if you see a movie or not. If you do, don't tell anybody - it'll be our little secret. That'll show King and Darabont!
This Is Madness...! by buster00	Mar 7th, 2007 04:21:14 PM
THIS...IS...SPARTA!!
Why does Quint not care for Lauries scenes? by johnyaztec	Mar 8th, 2007 03:40:52 PM
How come quint always leaves the soundstage everytime Laurie Holdon does a scene?
