The Happening

I'm talking about the last bit you said to me if I want to raise my post count, go ahead.. so basically you were saying I'm spamming..

Sorry if I'm getting the wrong side of things but it looks like your saying I'm spamming or something.

Nope, was continuing my ripping of the film - there are so many flaws that a few hundred posts would cover them all.

M. Night Shyamalan is a very capable director, I liked Signs, but I'll probably wait 'til The Happening comes out on DVD to see it. I'm not too bothered. I am looking forward to his adaption of the popular American Cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender though. In my opinion, it will destroy the competition from the other live action anime films, except maybe Ghost in the Shell 3D.

Signs was a brilliant film I just don't see why he had to create this as such a crap film.

[Misawa]

Apart from Signs, his films have been both flops in quality and at the box office, and the way his latest is billed, it seems as if it's his last chance as it were to impress, but he's failed and is quite the "one hit wonder". From the success of The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan has seemingly bitten off more than he can chew, with focusing his writing on supernatural and outrageous plots with twists and turns, rather than concentrating on the core fundamentals of a film, which is incredibly evident in The Happening with the unnatural dialogue and failure to develop a story right. It really does not surprised me that his script was turned down several times before being green lit. I wish him all the best of luck for producing something as good as The Sixth Sense in the future, but I feel that it is vital that he overcomes the beginner's flaw as it were, as he should be well past it.

Me and my dad were going to the cinemas and we decided either 'The Happening' or 'The Incredible Hulk.' IMDB put Hulk as the clear winner. So glad we watched that.

and ooh give us a sneak review of 'Wanted' when you go to see that, Misawa. It looked good

[Misawa]

Not sure that I'm going to get an early screening of that, I'm afraid. I think the next press showing is Prince Caspian, but nevertheless, I'm sure I will go and see Wanted regardless and post my thoughts.

Ugh narnia prince caspian. Worse film (excluding the happening)

Thought it would be good after the first one but I was seriously mistaken :eusa_wall

Anyway thats going offtopic.

Yeah don't pay money to watch the happening or you will be greatly disapointed and no doubt be thinking you could of been spending that money on something other than watching hundreds of people shoot themselves, get run over by lawn mowers, hang themselves, smash heads through windows and jumping off buildings.

The one thing I'm confused about is how did the animals die? they were in a field and they aren't exactly gonna pick up a gun and shoot themselves...

[Misawa]

They ate themselves.

Also one thing I was wondering about..

Show Hide

what did the man do when he got out of the crashed car? (I watched a crap quality version of it and didn't see properly)
