Have you listened to the WAYDM commentary for the Mist yet PorridgeGun? It's one of the good ones. Favourite quote comes from Trey I think, something like "Darabont couldn't punch you in the gut in person so he made this movie".

I forgot that I also saw RIPD on the plane as well. Bit of a weird film, apparently trying to be funny but never quite hitting the mark, but it kept me awake at least (which is more than I can say for Red 2, which I missed a chunk of). I grow tired of Reynolds' apparently one-note performance though, which seems the same in every film I've seen so far.

In the wake of Pacific Rim, which I confess has been on my mind a lot of late, I've been watching old Gundam (specifically the short 08th MS Team series, which I had seen years ago and love, and Char's Counterattack, a film which was surprisingly brutal) and also caught up to date with the Falling Skies TV series. Ignoring the characters' disregard for light, noise and cover discipline I really got into it and I'd say it's worth checking out if you're into either post-apocalyptic or alien invasion shows.

I may have mentioned this before somewhere, but I can't help but be amazed at the prevalence of distrust in our stories about aliens. If aliens ever did show up, we would arguably be so influenced by the movies and TV we've seen that we'd have great difficulty knowing what to think of them and their intentions.
