New trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, you guys:

I know that it’s really easy to make fun of M. Night Shyamalan, and that he’s up in his mysterious mansion made of whispers and tin foil laughing at us for wasting our time worrying about it. But seriously, the guy is the worst. And don’t throw that Sixth Sense nonsense at me, either. The Sixth Sense was OK. It would have made a really great episode of Stephen Spielberg’s Amazing Stories back in 1985. If you even mention Signs or Lady In The Water in the same room as me, I will Superman Punch you in the throat.

On the other hand, my dislike of Deus Ex Shyamalan is counter-balanced by my depth of enthusiasm for Mark Wahlberg, who I think is a great actor. Seriously. He is very good at the acting. So there you go. A little bit of good in the midst of a lot of bad. Just like life.

    i usually agree with your opinions as i do with what you say about m. night. i am deeply saddened that you like marky mark and want to get in his funky bunch (nullus). honestly, when he’s talking to the conductors and he says “with whom?” yeah dude. with whom. i hate him.

  2. i bet everyone who votes this comment up a copy of Amerika on DVD that they’re in a computer simulation.

    still, he does make a good trailer. it’s almost like he starts by imagining a little curio of a trailer then works back to the plot of the whole movie.

  3. Unbreakable? Can we mention unbreakable? Because that was one of the best superhero movies ever imagined.

    Am I wrong? AM I wrong? No… no, didn’t think I was.

    P.S. This movie looks like it will stink, but you can pause the trailer on Marky at any point and see, what I imagine is his “Oh!”-Face… FWAP

    Why hasn’t anyone convinced him to just direct a good story written by someone who can write? Is there an online petition I can sign to do my part?

  6. So wait… they’re being attacked by the wind? And clearly there’ll be some stupid twist near the end of the movie, like they’re in a fake city, or the wind disease can be destroyed by glasses of water strewn about by your daughter. M. Night Shyamalan is definitely your boyfriend.

    Aww, damn. Some one beat me to the langoliers reference…the lil leggiest monsters to ever eat up reality. And M. Night is literally the worst. No one could convince me that Lady in the Lake and The Village weren’t spoofs of real movies.

    Aww, damn. Some one beat me to the langoliers reference…the lil leggiest monsters to ever eat up reality. And M. Night might actually just be our Andy Kaufman. Cuz no one could convince me that Lady in the Lake and The Village weren’t jokes played on the world.
