Signs will forever be burned in my periphery because of that fucking English 101 class in college where the professor made us write essays on how Signs was a modern day retelling of The Wizard of Oz (you were not allowed to write your essay arguing that in fact the opposite was true).
I still think they had some screws loose.
If the opposite was true does that mean wizard of oz was a olden time version of signs
erp, poor word choice but more or less she didn't let us write the essay rebuking the argument, only in support of it.
it has probably my favorite visual joke in any of his movies I've seen
say what you will about Shyamalan, he's got an eye for a good sight gag
(this is why I thought he was actually a pretty good choice for the TLA movie but then uh...well I don't think we need to say anything more about that, do we)
Yeah, it's actually a really well-paced movie in that regard. We get some spooks, we get some humor, we get some character drama, we get back to the spooks. And none of it breaks the tone or atmosphere!
It's still, to this day, completely stunning to me that the guy who directed Signs and Unbreakable went on to direct Last Airbender and After Earth

I believe Bloods End was conducting what is colloquially known as "a goof"

I know, but may as well clarify for anyone actually confused.
My favorite signs theory is that it's about demons, not aliens. Also the "it's behind" scene spooked me pretty good.
Also good for M. Knight for not plastering the monster over all the preview stuff like every scarry movie does these days.
"it's behind" is simultaneously the best and worst scene. amazingly tense and scary even though you're expecting to be scared, but then the kid suddenly blerts out a phrase in english for no reason except to give you more tension

I’m glad I’m not the only one who liked Signs, and it really is a pretty funny movie
My favorite joke being the reverend’s attempt at sounding threatening when his brother insists he use swear words to scare away what they think are human intruders and all he can muster is something like:

the most irritating thing about signs was how in the month after it came out, people couldn't stop themselves from nitpicking, all like "durr hurr how come the aliens turned on exterior lights on their stealth ships at night"
how about you tell me why that matters first

The only thing I feel is truly worthy of nitpicking in Signs is the water thing.
They're wrecked by liquid water being flung on them, but all the water vapor in the air doesn't bother them at all?
I signed up for the AMC Pass because literally every movie theater except for one downtown is an AMC in my city so it would be stupid not to since I go see movies regularly
Signs was like my mothers cooking, good in the short term, but later your just shitting out your insides praying for death. Wait ok maybe not like my moms cooking.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I thought the first half of signs was one of the tensest SF-horror films I'd ever seen, but it lost me when it went all-in on the parable because I guess I don't have a lot of time for heavy-handed religious metaphors jamming up my screen.

Well shit. I guess I need to watch Split now. I didn’t pay it much attention when it was out because I had my fill of “villain with multiple personalities” movies back in the ‘00s, plus Shyamalan had been on a downward spiral for a while.

I can appreciate that signs' message was delivered well even if I think the message is obnoxious and incorrect, at best

The thing that makes me unexcited about Glass is actually Bruce Willis’ massive downward trend in giving a flying fuck in his roles.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

I find it odd I spent a good 30 minutes arguing with several people in general chat in wow about the aliens movies and how you could cherry pick the dark horse comics of the 90's for better story ideas to reboot it
Aliens Labyrinth in a way is a better way to tie in the story of Prometheus and Aliens films together.
I really have not read any of the aliens comics since the late 90's just that I found out they rebooted various stories pre Prometheus and post.
What in the heck the Apocalypse Now DVD set I got sent from Netflix makes no sense.
It’s two DVDs. As far as I can tell part 1 of both the original and the Redux are on disc 1, and part 2 of both are on disc 2. So no matter which one you watch you have to switch DVDs halfway through.
This makes no sense!

Honestly, the dude gets a bad rap.
Pretty close for me, but I'd put Unbreakable higher, and switch The Happening with The Village.
He's made some real dumpster fires, but on balance I'd say his average isn't bad. It's just been rough because it's been more crap that hits in the last 10 years.

If it is good enough for vampires it is good enough for me.
I was less fine with the movie revealing itself to be a Christian tract

Because the universe is a weird place.
That's not true! That's impossible!
the same woman who adapted Twilight also wrote the Jessica Jones series
