The Happening
« on: May 26, 2008, 08:46:00 AM »
Saw a few trailers about this one and the "Red Band" trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ort07zcUs7g) looks pretty balls.

I'm worried that this might be some Al Gore global warming nonsense, though.  Anybody know any more info?

I read that, too CT.  It makes me think that it might not totally be all global warmingy, but I might wait a week or so to see thoughts from others.

After reading that early review whoever it was posted in the Shoutbox a while back, this movie just sounds stupid.  I believe he said Mark Wahlberg gives one of the worst performances in the history of film.

Rather than see this movie, I think I'd prefer to have a happening ... in my pants.

I liked Signs and The Sixth Sense, but M. Night's others haven't been so great.  Lady in the Water was random, I thought, but the wife liked it.  The Village was barely watchable.

This one looked promising, but I don't want to be subjected to an ecofest.  I get that everyday from the media and Home Depot commercials.

Uh...

Quote"The Happening" is a terrible, terrible movie. I mean, it's bad on an epic scale. It's so bad that I can't possibly tell you how bad it is without understating the point or making it sound like I'm picking on the film. But let me stress: this is not pent-up Shyamalan aggression or a desire to see him fail. This is bad in a jaw-dropping "they can't really be serious, can they?" kind of way.

6th sense and Unbreakable were good.  Signs blew.  The Village sucked on a Nefian level.

M. Night Shamalamdingdong is an overrated hack.

I thought Signs was good until the end.  Thankfully, I did not see The Village as I heard it was terrible.  I did, however, see Lady In the Water, but honestly cannot remember a single thing about it other than there being a wolf of some sort in it and I don't even have the excuse of sleeping through the movie.
