Hey, you knew the risks going in. You willingly invited Shyamalan to serve you up your own overflowing yak-cock daquiri. Or “yaquiri.”
I dunno. I look forward to his Airbender trilogy. My reasoning may be flawed though. I just can’t wait to see what the porn remake does with the giant flying beaver.
Now THAT would have bene an awesome twist! It would turn the movie frm the super-serious ptemnetiousness into a wry self-commentary and mockery, and would instantly have elevated him to cool again.
Well, it certainly wasn’t funny.
I fucked up. I meant “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” which is just as un-funny as “The In-Laws,” but with less pointless shouting. And none of them would have been improved, dramatically or comedically, by the writing and direction of M. Night Shyamalan.
Personally, I had envisioned the vat of horse semen as a big, oak, 1970s-style California hot tub. I don’t know why. It just seemed like something you would fill with reproductive fluids.
Which is why I stay out of big, oak, 1970s-style California hot tubs. There is no way you can sanitize them to my satisfaction.
I liked “The Village” somewhat but everything else he’s done except “Stuart Little” has sucked mightily. This latest piece of steaming draft horse poo isn’t even worth dumping on the Sci-Fi Channel at 3am.
God is rich. He can afford it. Although as Carlin pointed out he has trouble handling money. Maybe this is an example of why he needs more .
Ignorance fought.
This is the best compliment I’ve ever gotten.
Ah. Well, then I hesitate to tell you that I was referring to Bryan.
Heh-heh… I knew it, but modesty forced me to hold off until the evidence came in.
Ah. Well, then I hesitate to tell you that I was being somewhat facetious. 
Takes all kind?
Some relatives of mine love The Lady in the Water. Of course, they’re rabid RPG players, & they watch PBS children’s programs even though they don’t have kids. So there’s a love of low-tech storytelling in there that’s a bit off the median.
I watched it once, thought it was cute in places if a bit dry.
Haven’t seen the new one, don’t care. I’m not that interested in Night’s output. If Night S. only made one good movie, that’s not anything to be ashamed of.
Given the abuse heaped on the film in this and other threads, I probably won’t be seeing The Happening, just as I didn’t see Lady in the Water. Too bad. The Sixth Sense is still a fave of mine. Hope ol’ M. Night can salvage his career; he does have some talent.
The original The In-Laws has a few laughs, at least: the autographed photo of JFK with the inscription, “At least we tried,” referring to the Falk character’s role in planning the Bay of Pigs invasion, and Falk’s repeated orders to Arkin, “Serpentine! Serpentine!” as he’s running from machine-gun fire. But it’s far from a classic.
I realize; the humour comes mostly from the shattering of Argent Tower’s ego.
Hah, well in any case, I’d be content to be the next Tom Green.
My bum is on the thread. My bum is on the thread.
Nahhhhhhh, that was Ed Platt.
