fuglyscariest tentacles, ever.

The Mist, with Thomas Jane and Marcia Harden. Would have been better in black and white to gloss over a bit of bad CGI, but we forgot about that option, alas. Still, mostly pretty damn good special effects, nonetheless. It stayed true to the story amazingly (down to a couple subtle Dark Tower refs), though I inexplicably remember a different ending entirely than Kim and the movie do, oddly. And daaaaaaamn what an ending it is, like whoa. The bit of pseudo-documentary style made me a little leary, but was nice by the end, and the "religious" woman who turns insane-zealot had the same effect on me between text and film, an almost urge to vomit. Kudos, movie! Great translation between formats of a great story! (Also, if you're a fan of the game Half Life, check out this parallel story for sure)

I think they should spraypaint plants on scifi shows to reflect this. Think of the fun camo variations!

Nice quote: "A yogi is someone who can turn every circumstance to his advantage." [ie, a lesson in every experience, an opportunity for practice...]

Typo from recipe for mango mochi: "Sieve glutinous rice flour, rice flour and satan powder into a big mixing bowl. Add in the oil."

Dr Seuss vs nudity? Crazy.

Oh my...Prince Philip is either trying to be funny in horribly bad taste, or is just a complete jerk....though, a funny one

yeah, I'm gonna say he's just a douche, some of those are simply spiteful.
Though I do recall Feifei's dad saying something very similar about the southern Chinese.
