He Meant To Do That
M. Night Shamalamamama's latest piece of cinematic caca is getting the kind of reviews that would even make flop-queen Nicole Kidman weep. I actually wanted to see "The Happening," but then I accidentally read what the "natural disaster" in the movie is. I'm sorry, but I've coughed up loogies that sound more terrifying than this shit. Count me the fuck out.
M. Night claims he did this mess on purpose. He sought out to make a B-Movie. He told Reuters, "I wanted it to be a fantastic, fun B-movie. The No. 1 thing is I want people to say: 'That was a really fun B-movie."
B-movie? Does B stand for bullshit? On second thought, maybe I'll sit through this crap and bring my best friend, Grey Goose, along for the ride. When I went to see "The Village," I got drunk like a Tara Reid during the movie and I've never laughed so much in my life. Everyone in the theater wanted to do murder times to me, but who gives a fuck?

"THE HAPPENING" MOVIE MIGHT SOUND STUPID COMING FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPLAINING IT, IV'E SEEN THE MOVIE AND THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOOD. IF YOU GAVE IT A TRY I'M SURE YOU WOULD TOO.
I STILL haven't forgiven M. Night Shay for "the Village"... it's unlikely that I'll give him for this piece of crap too! He's starting disappoint me... where are the films like "Signs"???
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shet Up!
The best scene in the movie wasn't even based around the grotesque and gruesome 'horrow' scenes. It was at the end when Mark and his gf work out their inner turmoil and reconnect for the first time in a while. That was probably the only good acting in the whole film and the most touching scene. The rest of it was truly blah.
Trees killing people. I feel like Al Gore and his gang funded this flick.

I saw the movie Friday. The theater was packed and it had more funny moments when the entire audience bust out in laughter more than scary moments.
Pretty much it was a save the environment flick.

he was awesome in fear and shooter. thats it.
It's a good film.I have seen it.I saw some new privacy news about them on site ----"AffluentBachelors.com"-------Maybe it
will have heavy influence on us. Just care.
The movie was funny, and it had the gore and violence that I love. Plus my hubby and I kept making Dirk Digler jokes and and singing "Good Vibrations". And c'mon, it was funny when he was talking to the plastic tree. M. Knight does not make horror/suspense, he does comedy! Look at Signs! Mel Gibson screaming "I'm insane with anger!", and the foil hats! That's some funny shit right there!

**SPOILER ALERT!!!**
This movie sucked major ass, however it did have a few unintentially hilarious parts...including the guy feeding himself to the lions, and the guy who lays down in front of a tractor. Classic.
The sixth sense was great, I still figured it out in 2 minutes flat, but loved it. All his other shit is shit....Unbreakable, Signs, the Village, Lady on the Water? Buena Vista/Disney dropped his ass long ago and they have made some pretty bad crap, sorry I disagree with all who say he has a smidgen of talent. One hit wonder ho.... Hitchcock had great movies before and after Psycho....the Lady Vanishes, the Guy who knew too much, 39 steps..... there is no comparison.... please don't even. ____________________________________________

thats too bad, because i think that shamaylan's older movies like Signs and Sixth Sense are much better than the crap hes produced lately, like Lady in the Water and the Village. what kind of fuck movies were those? he needs to take a long break

It sounds like a good movie to rent. Mark Wahlberg is not a terrible actor although the remake of Planet of the Apes really sucked.
---------------------------------------
I've heard lots of critics say that Mark Wahlberg is a great actor, but never in a leading role capacity. He's great as a costar- he can't carry a film.

All I can say is the The Village sucked and if this is anywhere near that bad or worse, I feel a beating is in order for M.Knight. Actually after seeing The Village, I wanted to be beaten for having spent money on that dog!

My friends and I went to see it because their younger sister like his movies. When the credits were rolling at the end, I reached over and punched her in the arm. I still want my money back from that mess.

I never cared for any of his movies, but for some reason I want to see this one.

Last night, that motherfucker claimed his LAST $10 from me. Never again will I pay for or sit through another movie with his named attached to it.
That piece of shit movie should only be watched on the Sci-Fi channel on a rainy Sunday morning when you're too hung over or flu-ish to change the fucking channel. Something to doze off to is all it's good for.
While watching Wahlberg coming off as Gay while trying to play "soft", I finally realized that the characters in Shymalan's have all been the same: boring, white-bread little bitches. All that was missing were the mom-jeans.
From now on he should save us all some money and just direct episodes of Ghost Whisperer.
My son told me he saw the movie and it really sucked. The whole point of the movie is that plants decide people are threatening them, so they put out some poison gas that kills people.
A panthesist wet dream--tawdry political didacticism. Didn't this shamalama ding-dong make two good movies and total crap from then on?

I was thinking about Hitchcock, actually...
It's like a good horror film has to connection in relevance between the horrific things that are happening and whatever emotional turmoil the characters are already dealing with...in my estimation this "happening" kinda misses the mark there, which would be it's only *real* problem.

Rated: Meh.

M. Knight is a promising director with tremendous potential. However, he needs to really explore his decision making when it comes to selecting material for his movies. You can only tell the same story so many times.
Alfred Hitchcock went through a period where he made just horrible movies and was on the brink of becoming obscure; then he made Psycho and things turned around for him.
M. Knight just needs to take a deep breath and rethink his choices..carefully.

JenMess-
I hear you- I certainly have had grave fears about global warming, overpopulation, disease, hunger, etc. ever since I was a kid. I hated that houses kept getting built near me by massive developers. It's a real fear. I didn't see the movie- but reading the synopsis made me want to pass on the movie. Some plants do give off toxins, but only to the animals that have been trying to eat them for thousands and thousands of years. The premise here is that the plants could switch so fast- too fast for evolution. Ugh.
I think horror movies are always scarier when the evil, the villainy,is really inside of the person you're rooting for. That's a great twist. Also, I think it's more believable when a person is a villain. This movie maybe could have been better if the cause was pollution, or an effect of some other environment-related human construct- the message is the same, the pseudo-science less annoying. Anthropomorphic trees don't scare me- losing those same trees does.
"To alcohol! The cause of and solution to all of life's problems!"-
So how big a role did the director give himself in this movie?
this movie was BULLSHIIIIT...so much so that I needed the extra 3 i's. What's with the sudden need that directors feel to make movies about killer plants lately? First the ruins now this? At least aliens...or even scarecrows I don't give a fuck just not PLANTS!!! The movie's only salvation was that I had my fucking sour patch kids...and they were delicious.
I think he's one of those directors people love to hate. He has a reputation for being arrogant and incapable of taking criticism. His movies aren't bad but I honestly think he could make do with some better writers. The dialogue in his movies is often clunky and just plain stupid.
I honestly dont care what anyone else thinks, I enjoyed the movie, and I really dont understand why people have such a huge problem with it? I mean sure, the dialogue isnt the best in the world, but I feel like this movie sticks with you. Well at least it did for me because I have nightmares about the world ending and global warming.
I loved unbreakable. that may be my favorite from him. the sixth sense was good, too. I really like most of his movies.
however, I just watch the dvds at home so my expectations are probably lower than people who went through the cost and effort of going to the theater. so often when I go I have to choose between more than one movie and if I don't like it I am even more disappointed because I missed the other one.
I liked Sixth Sense, except I knew what was going on waaaaaayyyy too early. Same thing with The Others, Skeleton Key, etc. If you're going to do a horror movie with a twist, don't make it so obvious! I just read the synopsis of this film- um, I don't like craptastic pseudo-science. It's not plausible. At all.

I liked Sixth Sense and Signs. Was I the only person that figured Sixth Sense out in 5 minutes? Still liked it, though.
------------------------------------------------
No you weren't. Ex-hubby was furious when I whispered it to him. Haha! I like that movie too.
With the exception of Lady in the Water, I've pretty much liked all his movies, I loved The Village and Signs. I think he's a good story teller and cinematically speaking, captures images beautifully. It's unfortunate that Sixth Sense was such a hit that he's always going to be judged by that one film and is always going to be expected to deliver a twist ending even when the story calls for none. It's also unfortunate that the studios keep advertising all his films as horror films when they're not. Oh well.
LOL. My friend and I sometimes write fake tabloid articles when we get fucked up. One day we split and eighth of shroomz and I wrote a story called "M. Knight SHARTalan" about how he sharted on himself during a business dinner and ruined his white suit.

I've seen all his movies and while some are better than others and have been progressively getting worse, I was anxious to see The Happening last night. Should've gone home instead; it started out promising but just kind of 'blew away'. (If you've seen the movie, you'll get it). The icing on the cake were the 3 ladies next to me who brought their toddlers to the movie and thought sitting in the front was the best idea. I almost laughed when they kept telling the kids to watch the movie when they started crying (gee, wonder why they were crying in the first place...)
Whatever; go see the movie; I'd like to hear what others thought.

Has anyone seen Unbreakable?

Loved it.
I just started watching mad horror movies lately - it's a genre I've been avoiding but used to love...I guess I think I'm old enough now, or something...
Speaking of Mad...I just saw Mad Cowgirl which had moments but was pretty inane, overall...that's how this sounds.
I don't think people realize how hard it is to make a good B Movie...Tarantino's got it figured out and did you ever see, like: Maximum Overdrive, or hell - Rocky Horror Picture Show...? I know, if I tried I could easily think of many movies (if not writer/directors) that do it up right.
But it's just not as easy as it looks to make a really good bad movie.

the hubby made me go see it. It was sooo fucking perdictable. I mean, anyone who didn't figure it out within the first 20 minutes or so should not be allowed to have children, drive a car, or be allowed to have scissors. If you're going for a Bmovie, or cult classic, unless you make that perfectly clear like Tarintino did with Grindhouse, you just come across like an ass trying to cover up the fact that you made a shitty movie.

I liked Signs, but that was it. For those of you that have seen The Happening, is it anything like War of the Worlds (remake) or Cloverfield? I love those end of the world type movies and I was hoping this movie would have a similar feel.

I don't see how it could be much worse than Lady in the Water. Now THAT was the worst movie I've ever seen.
M. Knight used to be good before he became too self indulgant with his films.
Has anyone seen Unbreakable? Unbreakable was fantastic. Aside from that and Sixth Sense, his are some of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I saw a movie called Twilight that he made in 1998 with Susan Sarandon and Gene Hackman. He was 73 and he was still HWAT!!!.
Love him.

Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise.
I'm astounded that this man keeps getting money thrown at him to continue to churn out what amounts to a feature-length, subpar "Twilight Zone" episode again and again. If I'm lucky, David Lynch makes a movie every five years. Maybe the studios could send some bread his way or even import some of the excellent genre projects from Europe that don't stand a chance in Hell of getting made over here.
thats what it was, a fun b movie. there were a few corny parts where everyone in the theater laguhed. my friend and i saw it last night. it was fun. damn, not every movie was meant to be a masterpiece.
