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 06:56 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?

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...
