thanks for this links...

No Problem.... Thanks for having me:wink:

Looking forward to this but hopefully not another Village type. I started to think it may be a sequel to Signs. At first it looked like it would be about the rapture but I doubt it.

Except for Unbreakable , I am not a fan of M.Night Shamalan films , i hate with a pation , The village , Signs ans Six sens . but gotta say the trailer looks like a film i could like , will see

here's the link to the trailer. It looks pretty good after watching it....and Mark Wahlberg is cool by me.

I have high hopes for this movie. I'm hoping Shyamalan is back in form for this one. I liked The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs. While not horrible I don't have as much love for The Village and Lady in the Water. Anyway I am looking forward to seeing this one.

I just read some trivia that I had never heard before. Shyamalan wrote the screenplay for Stuart Little. That really surprised me because everything else he wrote he also directed. He hasn't done anybody else's work.

Anyway I am looking forward to seeing this one .

Do yourself a favor and surf the net until you come across the asinine plot for this movie. I certainly won't spoil it here but I highly advise you take the time and save yourself the grief. I will say that it has to be the dumbest concept for a summer movie that I can ever remember.

i went to this link

and read some one who read the script , well he thinks like yellowjacket , but the more i read about the more this might have a chance with me , Keep in mind the only film i love about him is Unbreakable

I'll take my chances. For me the only way I can ever truly judge a movie is to see it myself. What's the worst that can happen?

M. Knight Shayamalan's new movie, The Happening, looks to be his latest bomb...

I've seen the previews and web advertising and it looks to be his next film feature fiasco...the triumverate (The Villiage & Lady in the Water).

Nothing looks promising about it...the mass suicidal vignettes try to intrigue, but, just seems to be more of the same pump and disappoint marketing that precede his latest malaise movies. Even the title, "The Happening" is lame...as is casting Mark (Marky Mark) Wahlberg as the leading man...

I haven't read of any buzz for this movie whatsoever anywhere...I bet the tracking polls, test screenings and focus group analysis supports my contention that this director has lost his touch.

I did read that the studio turned down his initial script (foreshadowing?)...Shayamalan had to go back and rejigger it to get them to accept it.

I think he has another good movie in him, but, this isn't it...how much longer will movie studios keep bankrolling his Spielberg approximations?

Where is the studio's sixth sense? :rolleyes:

maybe you should go off more than the trailers and tv spots before you pen a review, just a thought. Im going to see it, I think it looks intriguing and id like to see how M. Night performs with his first ever R rating.

and the studios keeps going with him because his first few movies made about a billion dollars in the course of a couple years. The man makes smart horror/thriller movies that require you to think...not many people do that these days.

Banshee, maybe you should practice your reading comprehension skills.

My diatribe isn't a movie review (the movie isn't out yet) it's a bitter perception of the marketing inflation of 'The Happening" and the sliding talent of M. Knight Shayamalan.

The studios keep going with him because, as of now, his name above the movie title has marquee/drawing power. But, showbusiness is a business and his last two movies; The Villiage & Lady in the Water have taken critical and financial baths.

The Happening HAS to be better than his last two movies because they were so bad and...Movie studios will not keep going with him with his pattern of diminishing returns.

Having said all that, I still think he has another good movie in him...this just doesn't look like it.

I read , a couple of his script review , none were really p&#244sitive

First, I'm sure you meant triumvirate. You're going in with the preconceived notion that this movie is going to be bad. This from trailers and web advertising. I myself try to see a movie prior to claiming it to be a bomb. You don't even like the title which may have some significance we aren't privy to as yet. You disapprove of Mark Wahlberg as though he just stepped out of a New Kids On The Block video instead of having been nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and SAG for his role in The Departed. I think I'll withhold judgement until I actually see it. Who knows? It may be the happening movie of the summer.

Dude Marky Mark is the t*ts...how dare you:mad:

You have the words FilmCritic in your username and here you are ragging on one of the game's biggest director's about a movie that you have not yet seen? A movie that hasn't come out yet? You are making claims on lack of information and personal bias towards a director based on previous films. And for the record, I saw lady in the water in the midst of the critical beatdown it recieved, and I thought it was nowhere near as bad as they said it was. And the village happens to be one of my favorite M. Night films, so I can tell you based on my experiences writing reviews for this site and others, being a forum moderator, and working in a movie theater, even though he has not been a critical darling lately his movies still have fans. As I said, he makes smart horror/thriller movies that require you to think and participate, and nobody else is doing that.

Furthermore, I find it almost laughable that you have chosen this director, and this film, to decide to parade on just by going off of advertisments and tv spots. Because if you have any knowledge of his work, you know that nothing you ever see in commercials comes out that way at the end of the movie. You know he is going to throw a hundred twists in, and The Happening looks like his most cryptic work yet. So this is the last movie in the world that you can fairly pick on just by reading articles and watching commercials.

Let me just say that if you ever want to be respected as any kind of a film critic, you need to first learn to give filmmakers (and films) due respect. Do not go and bash a movie just because everybody else is, and certainly do not bash a film that you have yet to see...that's not being a critic, it's just being rude.

I thought Lady in the Water was a sight better than The Village OR Signs, precisely because it didn't rely on a tacked on twist ending.

this movie is gonna b hot, cant wait for this one

thanks for the link!
