I thought Signs was mega-stupid, but I liked it anyway. I felt the same way about The Day After Tomorrow.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

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

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!

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
le nub...that's exactly what I said after watching the movie.
