A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Only Shamylan movie I've seen is Unbreakable, which I actually liked (and seems at odds with the general consensus here.)
I liked Unbreakable; I thought it was an interesting concept and the acting was quite good. And I don't even have the comics geek claim.
I can't wait for this new Donnie Darko now. Hmmm.
I'm pissed offf. I can't find it playing anywhere near me.
I saw "Bourne Supremacy" last night. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would. Matt Damon was good, as was the rest of the cast. But the car chase through Moscow was just too much. It felt like it went on too long and after the opening car chase in India I was car-chased out. Joan Allen was good and I liked her character as well. Not enough Julia Stiles, though. I wanted her character to play a bigger role somehow. Liked the ending. Hope this means that both Joan Allen and Julia Stiles will be in the next one. As I recall, the books were a trilogy.

AFAIK it's only opening in New York and LA. If it does well there it'll move to other cities. I am still hoping it will hit Chicago--I even emailed an art-movie place near me asking them to show it (I got no response).
Oh. D'oh. You recommended It! The Terror from Beyond Space. Oops. It! Them! Who can tell the difference? But anyway, you should see Them! then. But at least that explains why I wondered what kind of crack you were smoking to say that Alien was basically a remake of Them!
Actually, it's It! that ALIEN was a remake of, not Them. Seriously. That, and Mario Bava's PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES.
Um, Tombstone is a frozen pizza and silver is a precious metal.
Glurg. Here I was, in the middle of the night, looking for deep metaphoric meaning. Oops.

Never look for deep meaning when bad jokes will do.

I saw Ju-on last night and wow was it creepy as fuck. I am now really looking forward to The Grudge (which is being directed by the same guy, who happened to be there that night and gave a little speech at the beginning).
Beej had a question about the release timing.... Ju-on is being released in a limited fashion for the art house crowd and to build word of mouth on the English language version.
I'm here to tell you, the word from my mouth? Scary. And that was on a tiny budget.
Basically what it comes down to is: You're fucked. If you go in the house, you're fucked. If you walk by the house, you're fucked. If you live near the house, you're fucked. If you talk to someone whose friend accidentally touched someone who shared a subway ride with someone who thought about the house, you're fucked.
