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.

See, I really liked The Village, which got the same sort of OMG WHAT A STUPID TWIST HA HA response here, so I don't know.

Except Lady in the Water actually was pretty bad. So there's that. I've liked all his other movies, though.

I do have a few free tickets to use this summer.

That's my favorite.

That's my favorite.

Mine, too.

Which probably surprises nobody.

I didn't watch LitW - because I heard it was generally hated. I didn't mind "The Village", but I saw the twist(s) coming from a mile away.

I've seen the other movies and liked them well enough I suppose. I didn't hate Unbreakable.

Watched Sweeney Todd last night.

Let me out myself up front as Not A Fan of Sondheim. I know that might mean I have to turn in my Buffista card, but there it is. I can see the greatness in the music (although I don't really like listening to it), and the lyrics are sometimes clever but more often forced.

Anyway.

I quite liked the movie, but mostly because of Depp and Burton. Depp's acting (and acting-while-singing) was fan-fucking-tastic. He may be the Perfect Actor. There were parts where he was chillingly terrifying.

And I appreciated Burton's vision, making it a classic monster movie, complete with Hammer Films Red (that's the Pantone name) blood.

I wanted to hit Anthony with a brick after about his second scene.

I really liked Unbreakable for its themes. M lost me with Signs and all that came after. I want so much to like his stuff but just. can't. do. it.

Unbreakable is probably my favorite of his too, that or The Sixth Sense. I thought both Signs and The Village were pretty silly, although there were moments in The Village that I liked quite a bit and found genuinely chilling, and I didn't see Lady in the Water.

Unbreakable made me want to throw things. It was SO FUCKING SLOW and SO FUCKING FULL OF ITSELF. The revelations were all SO FUCKING OBVIOUS and yet they were treated as these massive surprise twists. That may have been the last M Knight movie I saw, actually. I hated it that much.

I've loved all of his movies to date, kinda hated the twist in The Village, thought it could have done without it, but then thought that the horror of the final decision wouldn't have had any impact without it. And I can't think of another movie that changed main characters in the middle of the story, and I thought that was absolutely divine.

And even if I hated every single movie, his continued relationship with James Newton Howard keeps giving me endless listening pleasure.

I could watch Signs on repeat, and as much as I enjoyed The Sixth Sense, the endless spoofs that came out of it have stemmed any desire to see it again, although I'm sure I'd love it all over again if I did.

(likes Jessica particularly much right now)
