Watched this a couple of days ago. The downtrodden continue the role. The acting was strained, cheesy and in some spots laughable. The concept was ridiculous as well. When you see groups of people offing themselves one would think “Hmmmmm, maybe I should be concerned.”, but intstead I was like “Good riddence!”. How this unknown force was connected to vengeful plants made me not want to give you all a “spoiler alert”. Do not watch it, it honestly has no redeeming qualities.

Oh, what the fuck was that guy on about with his hot dogs? Fuck me!

Whatever mate. Refuse to reply to any posts that don’t point out exactly where to read sarcasm and where not to. Or get all pissed off at anything that doesn’t have a smiley face. Your own existence won’t seem different to anybody else either way.

“We prefer to be called â€˜the voice of reasonâ€™.”

ugh. considering the growing extreme right in Europe, I’m in no mood for something like this without a sarcastic smiley face. Sorry man, the rise in the polls of people like Geert Wilders concerns me about as much as Mike Huckabee’s religious populism does.

Anyways, I found out a major spoiler which I wont reveal here about the Happening, and lets just say that it may end up presented well, however I can definitely state theres going to be a shitload of eye rolling by a lot of people. Shyamalan is probably not going to remove himself from the shit list in some peoples eyes.

Actually, John Carpenter and M. Night Shyamalan have alot in common. They share the megalomanical tendency to plaster your own name all over your film – opening credits: an M. Night Shyamalan film, WPD by MNS – ending credits – a film by MNS etc. Good stuff. Although I guess Carpenter was alittle more cool about it, using tribute-names and stuff. They also both are known for their horror, and everybody hates everything they do that don’t deliver as a horror movie – when in reality the horror aspect is the least interesting thing about their films! I never linked the two before reading this article for the 2nd time… I guess your somewhat shallowly reasoned (I’m not having a go! Just saying) love for Lady In The Water makes much more sense now! Sometimes it’s hard to explain emotion.

The thing that peek my interest with this trailer was the fact that this is M.’s first foray into full on horror. I just hope he doesn’t over reach like he did with the lady in water. Or go for some lame ass twist we saw coming 1000 miles (or kilometers for you non Americans.) away like in the village.

I’ll go see it for sure. But fool me twice ya know.

Definitely hit or miss with when it comes to Shyamalan. I really enjoyed the 1st time watching The Sixth Sense and Signs is the only movie of his that I’ve watched multiple times.

This trailer looks pretty cool, but its kind of reminding me of the Invasion trailer which is not good. It’s a good thing we know Shyamalan is directing this though.

Mark Wahlberg feels really out of place in that trailer, which is unfortunate because he’s pretty much the only thing about that trailer that’s actually going to get me to see that movie.

I hope there’s ten surprise cameos from God.

I loved Unbreakable and I likee both The Village and Sixth Sense. Didn’t much care for Signs and quite disliked Lady in the Water. I’ve been excited for this since I originally heard the concept though. It does sound similar to some recent movies like The Signal or Pulse, but I’m sure it’ll have an original twist. Sign me up.
