The notion that the fog would also create that kind of unintentional mayhem is a cool idea. <BR/><BR/>But notice I called her Selma Blair and NOT Stevie Wayne.

It certainly would've been better than this crapfest.<BR/><BR/>But you know, I've already got myself nearly completely convinced that I still haven't seen the remake of The Fog. Another week or so and I'll have forced myself to forget it ever happened. Then some day, years from now, I'll be walking innocently down the street and someone will say something unrelated yet reminiscent and trigger the horrible memories...like, they'll say "missing lip" or "my hairbrush caught on fire" and suddenly I'll be rolling around on the ground pulling my hair out and screaming in terror.<BR/><BR/>You guys were all surprisingly well-behaved, though, and I'll probably invite you over again.

I watched it a couple years ago and remember absolutely none of it, which is interesting because Art Boy and I were pretty excited about it at the time. Much like Maggie Grace's character, all these horrible details will turn into ghosts and vanish.
