Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Eh, I think if it hadn't been such a shitty comic book premise/reveal, maybe? But it wasn't the comic book aspect that put me off, it was the fact that it was unwatchable crap.
[See, ita and I both used the word "crap" - I think that more or less proves it. Scientifically.]
I quite enjoyed it.
I liked it too.
I love Lady in the Water
See? That's what I meant, I guess. Not that Unbreakable was the most hated, but pretty darned hated.
I thought The Happening was the most hated. Or The Last Airbender. I think most people forget The Lady in the Water even exists.
I didn't see any of these..or The Village.
If I really think about it, Signs must have been my exit from the M. Night train.
There is so much dumbosity in that one, I actually felt sorry for him. Then, I saw interviews with him. Suddenly, I was paralyzed with the not caring.
It was sad though. I honestly thought the Sixth Sense had a sort of genius about it.
I'm the weirdo who thought Sixth Sense was over rated, so I've never been an M Night fan. I must admit I've greeted his fall from grace with a bit of shadenfreude.
I didn't love Sixth Sense, but I was spoiled for it. I liked Unbreakable a lot, though.
I am a sucker for the hero in the everyman story. The one where people struggle with their own imperfections to do the right thing.
I haven't liked any of his movies much. I don't know what people saw in the ones that were popular--I found them emotionally unengaging, and they didn't make up for that with anything else.
