Normally it's Marky's co-stars who are talking to a plastic plant.
Zing!

Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But wait, didn't the trailer also have Tension-Filled Moments with ominous thumping and knocking sounds? Am I misremembering?

Ann, that's a ferret.
But does Marky Mark at least undress ?

That may have been the crew falling asleep from boredom and banging into things. Entirely understandable considering the dialogue they had to listen to all day. The movie's idea of tension is having Marky Mark and Zooey running away from...WIND! I haven't laughed that hard since the characters in Day After tomorrow outran deadly frost.

so if I adored Lady in the Water I might like The Happening?
Fone Bone - Jun 11, 2008 9:14:46 am PDT #6288 of 10000
Perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it. There were elements to Lady in the Water that may have worked with better execution, but in the case of The Happening, I can't see how anything could have improved this story. Really, the biggest shock is how terrible the script is--in the past, Night has proven himself capable of writing believable characters and dialogue that doesn't make you howl with unintentional laughter. At times, I found myself wondering whether the whole movie was some kind of elaborate practical joke, but I don't think that guy has a sense of humor...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
He'd better find one soon if he wants to make a decent Avatar movie.

I'll still see it for myself. I passed on LitW because of the overwhelmingly negative critical reviews and word-of-mouth, rented it, and my entire family fell in love with it.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I really like LitW too, Juliebird. in fact, i've liked all of M. Night's movies. and that includes Unbreakable. i wish it had been made into a trilogy like was first discussed.
