The Mist (Contains Spoilers And Other Allergens)
So I saw this movie called The Mist the other day. It was like a horror movie and once again I didn’t quite hear the name of the movie we were going to see. I thought it was called “The Missed” and so I was expecting a movie where the spirits of all the children who were listed on milk cartons and never found come back to take their revenge on a world that let them languish and die and it seems like the spirits are going to kill everybody and then somebody realizes that as milk carton spirits they would be like reverse lactose intolerant and they kill them all with soy milk.
But it turns out it was something completely different.
It turns out that this movie was based on a novella by Stephen King and that the computer game Half-Life was sort of loosely inspired by it too. If you don’t know Half-Life was the first-person shooting game from the 90s where like a government funded experiment with a dimensional teleporter accidentally like broke reality and opened up holes to a nightmarish other world full of monsters and stuff.
Um no not that game.
Not that one either.
Anyway Half-Life was important because before that not only did all first-person shooting games have the exact same story but the story didn’t actually matter because you just went from one level to another shooting at things and sometimes pushing buttons the size and shape of your guy’s head which was like a milking pail. Half-Life actually played out a whole story from beginning to end and they had a novelist write it for them. It really raised the bar for future games and brought it down repeatedly on their heads in a series of smashing blows.
“The bar” in this case is a crowbar which is like the signature weapon of the main character Dr. Gordon Freeman, Pee Aych Dee. It’s symbolic of the fact that he’s a physicist and so he knows how to apply leverage and stuff to the soft, squishy heads of his alien foes.
But um anyway this is about the movie The Mist. The Mist is a horror movie and like most horror stories it is A Cautionary Tale that teaches young people A Valuable Lesson.
In this case the point of the story is a warning against the danger of Not You Know Maybe Waiting Five Minutes Before Putting Your Unspoken Murder-Suicide Pact Into Effect When You Run Out Of Gas While Driving Through A Hellish Interdimensional Fog.
I for one think it’s high time that Hollywood chose to address this issue with a major motion picture. Even just one life lost to the ravages of Not You Know Maybe Waiting Five Minutes Before Putting Your Unspoken Murder-Suicide Pact Into Effect When You Run Out Of Gas While Driving Through A Hellish Interdimensional Fog is one life too many.
Though now that I think about it can you really have just one life lost to a murder-suicide pact? I think that would just be a murder.
Or a suicide.
I’m gonna go play some Half-Life.

Is it an unspoken “Muder”-suicide pact or rather an unspoken murder-suicide pact? That’s the question Shakespeare was already asking… or rather not.

Oops. This was like a chilling cautionary tale against the dangers of cutting and pasting.
December 10th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Especially the cutting. You need sharp tools to cut something, and as everyone knows, sharp tools can also be used to murder people.
December 10th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
“Cutting & Pasting” equals “Murdering & Desecrating the body”!

“It really raised the bar for future games and brought it down repeatedly on their heads in a series of smashing blows.”
Aye, lassie, that it did. The echoes of that wee set-to still resound to this very day.

On the formation of acne affect sex hormones (androgens), bacteria, and genetic predisposition. This is accompanied by:
1) Increased production of sebum. Male sex hormones (androgens) stimulate the production of sebum in bodies of boys and girls. During adolescence androgen levels usually are within normal limits. Increased formation of sebum in acne is usually caused not by elevated levels of androgens, but increased sensitivity of receptors to androgens. The degree of sensitivity is determined by genetic and hereditary factors. Adult acne can be associated with increased levels of androgens.
2) Obstruction of the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands and the hair follicle is caused by increased formation of new cells inside the ducts of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. These processes are influenced by male hormones (androgens) with the participation of genetic factors (genetic predisposition). The obstruction of ducts and hair follicles leads to the accumulation of sebum and increases the size of the follicle.
3) Increased number of bacteria in the hair follicle is associated with the stagnation of sebum in the hair follicle. Metabolic products of bacteria cause inflammation of the hair follicle.
4) Sometimes (but not always) inflammation results in a rupture of stretched wall of the follicle. The contents of the follicle (sebum, bacteria and their products) penetrate in the surrounding tissue and cause inflammation not only in the follicle but in larger areas of skin.
What factors worsen acne?
1) Fluid retention in the body. Aggravation of acne during premenstrual period is caused by swelling of the sebaceous glands due to fluid retention. The same process is responsible for the worsening of the disease during active sweating.
2) Skin contamination with mineral oils (lubricating oils, petroleum products). Some cosmetic products may contain oils that worsen acne. Therefore patients with acne should be cautious in using cosmetics or stop using it.
3) Certain medications (including birth control pills) may aggravate acne.
4) Mechanical irritation (scratching, squeezing the skin), as well as popping pimples worsen the state of skin.
What factors facilitate acne or have no effect on its course?
1) Formerly it was thought that high-fat and sweet food aggravate acne. Now it is proved that any food doesn’t affect the course of acne.
2) Solar radiation facilitates the cure of acne. Therefore in the spring and summer the disease is usually milder than in autumn and winter. It’s important not to overdo. Excessive sun exposure dries the skin, which can worsen acne. Effectiveness of artificial UV radiation (for example a solarium) is not proved.
