"The Happening" spoilers...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

haven't seen it, got this info off the intertubes, but I've reason to believe it's true.

It's about killer plants and tree.

Plants and trees that are sick and tired of all the "negative energy" coming from humans, so they release toxins that cause humans to commit suicide.

With lots of gratuitous shots of violence, and people running away from wind.

1. Sounds like make suckage, doesn't it?

I bet that the Day Of The Triffids sucked less

[Symarip]

2. I'm over his movies

Sorry people. His brand of yawn just doesn't do it for me. Signs makes Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure look like a documentary shot in real time.

3. Signs was a Night of the Living Dead rip off.

They even stole the wardrobe.

[Connonym]

4. don't be mocking Bill and Ted :-P

that movie RAWKS! :headbang:

[Symarip]

7. I actually liked Bill and Ted

It didn't pretend to be something it's not. Signs wants you to take it seriously, but it has about as much depth as a late 50's sci fi movie with monsters that know how to do the twist at ice cream socials.

Fuck Signs.

[Blue-Jay]

5. They were fine with being eaten, but "negative energy" makes them mad?

Man, fuck plants.

6. It's about time someone made a horror movie about allergy season

Wait...someone made a horror movie about allergy season?

8. killer plants and trees

That's the word all over IMdB. I'm definitely going to pass. I've actually never been a fan of M.Night's. I was kind of enjoying Sixth Sense up until that damned ending. Haven't liked anything he's done since.

9. That's really gonna fuck with vegans

You mean plants could think all along?

50% of vegans, fuck this, gimmie a burger
50% of vegans, *suicide*

[Blue-Jay]

12. At least a cow will look me in the eyes before it tries to kill me.

Fucking dirty sneaky rotten plants... I'm going to go stomp on one in my back yard RIGHT FUCKIN NOW!.

[DS1]

13. LOL

:D

[SocratesInSpirit]

10. I heard about that...

I'm guessing he took it from the phenomenon of acacia trees - when a giraffe starts grazing, the leaves begin to produce a toxin called tannin. After awhile, the giraffe has to stop eating or it will get sick. And when one tree starts making tannin, all the trees downwind "get the message", so to speak, and also start producing the toxin. The giraffes try to beat the system by making sure they don't graze on any trees downwind of the one they just finished.

Plants can be funky lifeforms.

I must confess I am an M. Night Shyamalan fan, and I did like Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water, but even I am balking at this one. But I'll have to Netflix it just to make sure. :)

11. Mr. DTBK was inquiring about movies today

I don't want to remind him that this is opening today, or he'll want to go. I loved "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs," but haven't liked any of the films since.

[SocratesInSpirit]

14. Heehee

My husband hates his movies and is very thankful he doesn't have to see this one in theaters!

[IndianaJones]

15. this movie sucks on an epic scale. nt.

[democracyindanger]

16. I read that it's Intelligent Design propaganda

17. That might be the funniest movie review I've ever read

Demented and sad, but fuuuuuuuuny.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. That was great, and the movie sounds even more awful than I expected.

[Fox Mulder]

18. You've got to be fucking kidding me...

please tell me you are...

Edited to add that the only reason I'd ever see it is because of Zooey Deschanel. She's the only person that made Elf watchable.

[JeanGrey]

19. M. Night's career is totally in the toliet.
