That was a very well done movie, and i'm tired of internet folk bashing it just because it has M. Night's name on it; those are the only people i've ever heard rip on that movie.
These are the same people who tear apart Lord of the Rings just because it's popular; it was a miracle those movies were even made.
I wanna beat seven shades of stupid out of these clowns.
I dislike it because it's a bad movie with cheap scares and a load of nonsense making up the plot, not because M. Night Shamwow made it. Please try again.
I liked Avatar but didn't think it was anything special story-wise.
And I am angry at James Cameron for doing Avatar 2 before Battle Angel Alita, when the kickass martial arts cyborg flick is obviously a movie that needs to be made much more.

You helped build this monster like everyone else. Stop trying to be cool and just admit it already.

The movie is only made compelling by virtue of its twist ending, which wasn't much of a twist, by the way, since it's laid on so fucking thick.
I dislike the movie for reasons unrelated to Shyamalan, apart from the fact that it is bad due to his incompetence. If he'd had nothing to do with it, and it was identical, it would've been bad due to the incompetence of whoever took his place in this scenario.
I just wish, if they were going to fuck it up, at least fuck it up in a Mario Brothers Movie kind of way
Make Appa an AI hover tank with an anagram like "Aerial Patrol and Protect Assistant" and set the whole thing in a post-apocalyptic North America where the continent has been split in 4 parts by massive nuclear bombardment.
I'll admit I've only seen the Rifftrax version of the Sixth Sense, but believe me when I say that I did pay attention to the actual story and that I wouldn't even have made it through the movie if it hadn't been for the jokes. It was appalling.
You know, the weird thing about M. Night is that I think he's a decent director, but at the same time he's a mediocre to bad writer; and since he always does both on his films, one ends up canceling out the other.
I think if he started directing some well-written scripts by other writers instead of trying to be "M.Night The Auteur Creative Force", he could probably win back some of the reputation he's lost since Sixth Sense came out by becoming the "dumb twist ending guy".
Give him something more down to earth without aliens or ghosts or plumbing monsters or whatever, more of like a Hitchcock-type subject matter, and I think he could probably manage a decent job of it.

I hate twists, they've become the yardstick for how idiots judge the value of a movie. The bigger and more ridiculous the twist the more they love it.
"Wow, Bruce Willis was a dinosaur this entire time and no-one realised it, not even him. I totally didn't see that coming!"

Fuck you, I would so want to watch a Special Edition version of the Sixth Sense where Bruce Willis' character was replaced by a CG talking Tyrannosaur who thinks he's human while everyone else in the movie awkwardly tries to ignore it. That would be an amazing movie.

Some twists are ok, like the ones that actually allow the movie to make sense (Fight Club) other twists (most twists?) happen because during the writing process a producer said "Wouldn't it be great if...." and some nonsense gets spewed from his mouth. If the movie isn't thoughtfully made than the twist ruins everything that came previously (Haute Tension).

We just need to bust in on the set of M. Nights next movie. "Right we're going to need CG dinosaurs here, here and.....here. Also there should be some Mechs and explosions and stuff. Shut up shut up, okay everyone, shut up, this is going to be great. GREEAT! Okay, now........ ACTION."
EDIT: The Twist is that the Mechs built/engineered the dinsosaurs in an underground laboritory 20 million years ago, so they could come back and hunt them in the future.....but only after the scientists had brought them back from extinction, because they'd be more dangerous because DNA research is evil.

Anyways, I haven't seen 6th for ages, but I remember it in a positive light. I also liked Signs as well, even though it had a stupid ending. Everything else I've seen from him has been pretty terrible. The Village was such a crapfest.
I would say sixth sense was decent, I think he's cheapened the movie over time though since he uses the twist every time. But compared to most horror/thriller movies coming out now I think it was pretty damn good.

What does this even mean?
It means you're in for a really annoying and stupid argument if you try to claim you didn't really like Titanic when Godfather's around.

Boondock Saints? Why the.....How the fuck did people like this movie? I ejected the dvd halfway through and would've stepped on it if it wasn't someone elses.

I have no idea. I had about the same reaction, except I had to sit through it because I was watching it with someone else who owned the movie, and I really didn't get any good explanations as to why he thought it wasn't dreadful shit.
What really flabbergasts me is that they made a sequel to it, even though the only released movie that the director had been involved in between the two movies was (or at least this is my understanding) a documentary about what a total shithead he was.
I dunno, I mean there was a lot of "too stylistic/preachy for it's own good" in Boondock Saints, and most people who claim that they really loved the film tend to be pretty insufferable all-around
But I don't remember it being total trash the way most people talk about it.
I liked it at the time I made the username and I still find it fun to watch in a made-for-tv movie way but I don't like it enough to continue using the username.

What?
So much anger :x
At least Peter Jackson is a more skilled and talented filmmaker than fucking Shyamalan, though.

Sixth Sense.
Bad movie.
PERFECTLY REASONABLE AND VALID OPINIONS
Get over it you tremendous baby.

3. Boondock Saints
what does chromatomic mean? atomic color? indivisible color?

I don't think it's a real word though.
I know, but you can invent words. I though maybe you made it with a meaning in mind.
(It's another matter that I watched them in the debilitating, anguishing grips of Lyme disease.)
oh yeah true, I guess I did make it with a meaning in mind but not an actual definition.
Part of it was just coming up with something unique that I didn't feel sounded lame or forced.
The other part of it is just a pseudo retro throwback like "radiation king" TVs
okay, this is going to be drawn
not soon if by me (duh), but it will be drawn
I hate the movie because of that, even without having seen it (and because the bits I did see looked completely retarded)
But I don't remember it being total trash the way most people talk about it.
