Yes you are, and no i dont. I hate it because it was a terrible movie. I was 30 minutes into it and looked over at my wife and said "How much do you want to bet this isnt really in the past?"

How many people are going to play "Spot M Night" with this one? It wont be hard, look for the over acting indian guy. Tadaaa...

He tried to hide himself in the Village, which was even more insulting than trying to believe Ron Howard's kid was blind when she kept looking everyone in the face... when i saw she was in it, that sealed it that i wasnt going to be watching this one.

yeah i thought she sucked too ..

hopefully this movie will provide her with a roll that she can apply her limited abilities to. (i also blame the embarrasing dialogue oif the village though)

wb by the way ..glad to hear everyone is healthy and happy :)

Reviews are coming in....not to favorable. Looks like its kinda blah and the ending fizzles. So say my local paper.

that is a HUGE part of where he has been crashing, pretty much since the sixth sense. He tries sooo hard for everything to be understated, the revelations are a soap buble popping rather than the nuclear explosion at the end of the Sixth Sense.

Jesus, from the perspective of a writer, he isnt even fun. i have peeked into his formula, and i can probably predict the end of any of his future movies with about 80% accuracy within the first half. he doesnt change the formula, he found something that worked once and has been trying to relive it ever since. Every time he tries to retread it, it gets thinner and thinner. Kind of like old pants; he keeps rubbing the knees, trying to make them thivker by wearing away at them.

He seemed so smart, too....

Good to hear from ya Vod.....hows Bree & baby?

Vodstok 07-21-2006 07:56 AM

They are good. My new job is an hour and a half drive away, and we have been cranking out the home improvements, so they could use some time apart. Next weekend my mother in law and her mom are coming, so we should get some away time. Dinner and a movie (and LOTS of drinks). maybe Monster House. bree want sot see it and it seems to be the only thing even remotely interesting to me out there.

Or maybe we should see Lady in the Water!

Yeah!

And maybe the bartender will piss in our drinks! Yeeha!

You guys didn't care for Clerks? Little too crude?

Vodstok 07-21-2006 08:35 AM

I like the original one, but my wife has had it with Kevin Smith, so that one is a no go. Plus, we just arent excited about anythign out there.

We had high hopes for Wolf Creek and Hostel and werent very impressed with either of them.

The sheer volume of nude women killed hostel for Bree, and to be honest, was a bit disconcerting for me too. Not to mention, unhappy wife while watching movies = uncomfortable evening.

The "brutality" in it was a bit disappointing too. it picked up by the end, but....


Anyway, i am waiting to be shocked. Maybe i have finally gotten to cynical...

hammerfan 07-21-2006 08:39 AM

It's so good to see you again, Vod!!

Vodstok 07-21-2006 08:48 AM

It's good to be seen. :)

AUSTIN316426808 07-24-2006 07:02 AM

I guess the fucker is getting cocky about his acting, he put himself in a not huge but fairly important role. He obviously doesn't realize that he sticks out like a sore thumb.

Who are we talking about here?

Vodstok 07-24-2006 07:27 AM

M Night Shamalamadingdong

Getting a bit to big for his britches methinks.

i heard him on a morning show this morning doing an interview. I have heard of actors doing talk shows to promote a movie, but a DIRECTOR doing a radio morning show interview just seems a little sad to me.

Plus, i got tired of the show's resident moron kissing his ass the whole time. This guy called the Village his favorite movie of all time without a SINGLE SHRED OF SARCASM IN HIS VOICE! it was the first genuine sentance i eve heard from the guy.


Yes, the director of a major motion picture did a phone interview with a mroning show in southern New Hampshire. I'll be he has been going to girl scout meeting to let them know there is a girl in the movie, they'll like it.:rolleyes:

I was extremely interested when I saw this trailer for the first time but am not willing to pay theater price to go see it-The Village has shaken my faith so utterly I will wait patiently to rent it off Netflix.:)
I truly hope though,that it turns out good or I am done with M.Night pics.

Vodstok 07-24-2006 11:12 AM

Haunted?

Well Ya all heard about him wanting to take the directors seat for harry potter. I think he has lost his mind and he makes so much money on such shit. I know the ending to the harry potter already if he will direct it. Um...... Harry potter turns out not to be real and its just a bunch kinds at camp who imagine things cause mr. Night so far up there asses.

my friend saw this and reviewed it as one of the worst unwatchable pieces of shit ever (and he even defended The Village)

*Spoilers, kinda*


It's pretty out there, first off there's no disbelief, almost everybody in the building gets involved at one point or another and they just buy the completely absurb story without question. Giamatti stuttered the whole movie and it seems that it was only to show that he stops doing so around the girl.

There's a guy who only works out the right side of his body for whatever reason. There's an old asian woman that knows the story and Giamatti can't get her to tell him the story unless he acts like a child. There's a guy who just sits around doing crossword puzzles and he's got a kid who toward the end is asked to look at a bunch of cereal boxes to find out what they have to do to help the girl.

Too self conscious ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect.

*Spoilers end*


It's ok to have some 'what the fuck' stuff but not as much 'Lady' does.

He's officially fell off imo, if he does another film with Bruce Willis I might check it out because those were the only two that were really any good. Other than that, I'm done with him.

The Mothman 07-31-2006 02:19 PM

M. Night Shamalyan has no idea wtf hes doing. stop making movies.

tarcher80 08-01-2006 05:28 AM

just saw the movie last night... the inconsistencies (like austin said) will bother a lot of people, but i think it must be taken into account that this is a "make-it-up-as-you-go" children's bedtime story. its a cluttered mess, but that makes it endearing. however the pacing is off and aside from giamatti the acting isn't quite up to par (i did like the asian girl though). also i'm a little sick of m night showing up in his own movies; making a small cameo appearance would be fine, but playing a vital supporting role (even being a decent actor) irks me. all in all it wasn't a bad movie. six sense, unbreakable, signs were better, but not the village. all we can hope for is that night's movies will keep getting better.
