I mean it could be good
maybe the director just needed to make six terrible movies before he actually figured out how to make movies
But I think I will wait until someone confirms that it is worth watching before shelling out $15 to see it

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
signs was a step away from being a kirk cameron movie
the water kills aliens thing wasn't only stupid because aliens invaded a planet that is 70% deadly and frequently has death rain from the air (although that was really stupid), but because the dramatic resolution was basically "have faith in god" and that is boring
You'd think the aliens would have fucked off when the ones that landed in extremely humid climates stepped out of their ships and just dissolved.

The thing I don't like about that signs criticism is that it assumes Aliens are smart just because they can build spaceships. Maybe they're just dicks. It doesn't really have to be explained that well once you've made that jump because there's no explaining it.
The whole prospect of Alien invasion is implausible because Earth, like every other planet, is a gravity well. If Aliens knew about earth they would have very few reasons to visit it, let alone conquer it. Even if you could overcome the problems of gravity and the logistical nightmare of organizing Earth - Planet X transit on a grand scale, you wouldn't invade planets with sentient life forms because they've already stripped a significant portion of that planets resources. It doesn't make sense from a safety or profit perspective.

Gotta get slaves somehow
It is unlikely that a high tech society would be able to profit from widespread chattel slavery. In fact, economic historians have gone to great lengths to try and prove that without the American Civil War, slavery still would have ended for economic reasons, although their conclusions are certainly debatable.

The Last Airbender, The Happening, The Lady in the Water
And Signs.
I mean, Signs is open for debate maybe. Depends on how much you love god and/or hate aliens.

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

THE HAPPENING IS THE GREATEST UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY EVER MADE
my hatred of signs increased every time i watched it
and i was forced to watch it in three separate religion classes in high school
Dang.
We watched Life of Brian once but that's about it.

Here is how I explain signs:
The aliens aren't actually pictured in the movie. The aliens took some other race of warrior people with limited technology to earth for their own entertainment because it is hilarious

i think we had different perspectives to our religion classes, because i went to a catholic school and there is no way in hell that a movie blasting organized religion would make it into our curriculum

The sad thing is O’Rourke is right: the world has changed. The fact that this blasphemous film is being shown shows the direction of change. The world is now so anti-Catholic it is unreal. If anyone dared to suggest showing a film that made fun of Islam or Judaism the left-wing, politically correct guardianistas (and that’s just the Scottish Hierarchy) would be having a flakey.
I’ve seen this film, I’m sorry to say and it is tempting to say it’s a load of rubbish (which it is) and dismiss it. But I think the editor is right to present us with this thread. This is very serious. The Devil is very sneaky and will use this kind of trash for his own twisted purpose and attack lukewarm Catholics who will think ‘it’s just a laugh’.
I think when this film opens in Glasgow we should pray the rosary outside the cinema. Anyone who would be up for that can let me know.

it's interesting though, holy grail was my favorite by far as a kid, and life of brian was my least favorite of the three monty python movies, but then over the years they flipped

I remember reading a religious interpretation of Signs that actually fits a little better
Like, they're a demonic force rather than actual aliens, and it's not just any water that hurts them, but holy water (I don't remember why the glasses of water the little girl left out became holy, I forget a lot of the details)
And they say that they first figured out how to fight them in the Middle East i.e. the holy land for 3 of the world's biggest religions
I wish I could find wherever this whole thing is written out

Freshman year of college I was forced to go see it for a writing class and explain what it had in common with the story of 'The Wizard of Oz'.
I don't even remember what bullshit I had to write for that paper, but I got an A and didn't care.
I figured making her sit through the whole thing was enough misery for one day
Holy shit
