I quite liked Unbreakable, though I confess we fast-forwarded through stuff that seemed irrelevant. We had no experience of M. Night so had no pre-conceptions about what would happen. I was expecting it to turn out that his power was the love of his family or twiddle like that, and was quite delighted that it turned out as it did. And the twist, if I'm guessing the correct one, was delightfully macabre.

So, anyway, I quite liked it, but it's well-known that I have what are considered plebian tastes in movies.

I thought Signs was mega-stupid, but I liked it anyway. I felt the same way about The Day After Tomorrow.

I didn't see Signs. I was told by people I trust that there are parts of it that would Freak Me Right Out. Since I wasn't that curious about the movie, I didn't bother.

We're going to see The Fall tomorrow night!

Another movie that I thought was mega-stupid, but enjoyed immensely anyway:

Waterworld

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The revelations in Signs was the most fucking stupid thing imaginable - white font so not to spoil:

the aliens landed on Earth - a planet that's what 70% water and that's how they can be killed? WHAT THE FUCK? That's like us landing on Planet Acid. Just so fucking stupid. Why couldn't they be killed by AIR!

le nub totally nails the mega-stupid.

Still enjoyed the hell out of it though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, Sean. And you were just regaining ground after the moldy rice in a tube incident.

Oh hey, you people might know! Is there any truth to the rumors that Tim Burton is going to direct a Dark Shadows movie, and that Johnny Depp is going to play Barnabas? Because if they throw in some Victorian-esque costuming, I would quite possibly explode from glee.
