    M. NIGHT'S NEXT FILM:


    THE EVENT

    This time...something is going to happen
    unfortunately it will take 67 min to get to the event, then you have to sit through another 48 minutes of nothing happening

    At the 68 minute mark:

    "Uh... we ran out of plot. Quick throw a creepy old lady in there for no reason who ultimately amounts to nothing!"

    Don't you guys remember Lady In The Water? Shyamalan's movies can't be bad. He's the writer destined to lead the western world to prosperity.

    and then he's going to make the avatar movies!

    or uh airbender movies whatever

    If they call them "Avatar" James Cameron is going to come at them with tanks powered by money apparently.

    That isn't a real line from the movie, is it?

    No it's actually what happens in the film. They were hiding themselves from the new ice age by more or less jumping in a closet.

    Man Cameron even said himself that he doesn't expect Avatar to be that well respected for their narrative or artistry.

    I mean Jesus fucking Christ buddy you had the better part of a decade to write this movie.

    Also this movie had the worst foreshadowing I have ever seen:
    In the classroom, when he is talking about all the bees mysteriously disappearing, he asks the kids why. The last kid says "It's a scientific phenomenon and may never be fully understood" to which the teach says "Sometimes that is an acceptable answer."

    Then later after everything goes down, a scientist on TV is asked why it happened. He says (word for word) "It is a scientific phenomenon and may never be full understood."

    Like we are supposed to soil ourselves because "Oh my god it all wraps around together!!"

    You'd have to have Downs to not see that coming.

    It's going to just be called "The Last Airbender" from what I've heard/seen.

    Yeh, there were some pretty awkward lines in this film, but all in all I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly. For whatever reason I just really like the way Shyamalan directs.

    I really liked Lady In The Water too, which the vast majority of people hated, so yeh.

    Hey, we're holed up in the New York Public Library, and it's getting really cold!

    We'd better burn all these books for warmth, including this priceless Gutenberg Bible, and then sit around our roaring fire in these comfy overstuffed wooden chairs, surrounded by nice wooden tables in our wood-paneled room here.

    I will acknowledge the part where two of them were arguing about whether to burn Nietzsche, and a third dude was like "Guys, we've got like a million volumes of tax code over here."

    They were arguing over burning one of the most historically significant artifacts in the history of language and communication, the very history of mankind, before burning some shitty old chairs or tables!

    No, dude, there was a point where they were trying to convince him to. That guy's big scene was where he refused to burn it because it represented blah blah blah Age of Reason blah blah.

    The Happening was fucking hilarious. The best part was easily when those two kids died. It was like Who framed roger rabbit style when the barrel started to poke out

    Marky mark was just bad in the film too. He was decent in The Departed. I don't know what the hell he was doing in this movie.

    Mnightshamyualaian just needs to stop writing his own movies. He's a good director but awful at writing

    I don't think they were trying to make her do that.

    I hope no one ever argues about
    the peoples emotions affected the plants. With the whole mood ring thing. They got the lady when she was wigging out about marky mark trying to kill her. Also when the plants got the group behind marks and zooeys, those two guys were arguing and getting pissed at each other.

    If it was a better movie it would be worth talking about.

    The whole concept wasn't bad either in my opinion. It reminded me of that video of those ants wigging out from the brain parasite.

    I also liked how everyone was so eager to show everyone everything. Lady at the bar - Yo check this out. My sister sent me this video of a guy getting ruind by a lion. CHECK IT!.

    All the good deaths were ruined in the trailers too.

    I really liked sixth sense and unbreakable. Signs was pretty good. The Village was fine, just too long. Haven't seen lady
