The Happening was a really good B-movie, just like Lady in the Water was a romantic comedy disguised as a horror film. I have no idea why anyone doesn't like those movies. Most of the complaints about them I know are 'plants are the villains, therefore it sucks!' (implicit: I know nothing about pulpy sci-fi as a genre!!!!) and 'there's a critic in it who dies! Shyamalamadingdong (they always pronounce it this way) hates critics!' even though the critic's characterisation, someone who thinks they understand something so well that The Truth slips through the gaps and gets them killed, is a running theme in his films going all the way back to The Sixth Sense. People hate him because moviewatchers are dumb. What a twist!!!! etc.

To say nothing of the idea of God taking away Mel Gibson's faith by killing his wife so she could give him a message about the water so that he could get his faith back and AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

"By being on a planet that has water, the movie is killing me. It is wrong because water!!!! I mean...WATER!!!! This makes me angry, for some reason."Andrew Verse posted:What if they were demons, not aliens, and the water was holy water? If he did not write the screenplay, he did not write the movie. You do not even know who you feel this unnecessary amount of 'hate' towards. Why movies would make anyone think these things is beyond me. The only director one can justifiably hate is Lars Von Trier, and that's because he murdered my father with a hunting knife.

Ensign_Ricky posted:It makes me angry because it's a blatant loving plot hole that the movie fails to explain. What is the plot hole? Water exists on planet Earth? Have you considered that the water is an extended metaphor for the film's exploration of faith? You know, that thing absolutely every one of Shyamalan's films are about? The Alien was already getting beaten to death by a bat. The section where it gets knocked into some water, and it burns, is important. You're not meant to read it as a literal plot factor, like 'oh but the human body is 99% water blur blur blurrr', it's part of the main character getting their faith back. If that little bit at the end where some water burns an otherwise-hosed alien totally ruins a film for you....sorry? I don't think the film fails to explain it. I think you just don't want to figure it out and project your confusion onto the film. e: Not much of a derail really, this is the thread for re-evaluating the work of an artist previously seen as bad.

I can't remember where I read it (Empire, maybe?) but Bay pointed out that this being a planned trilogy they're actually going to go ahead and start introducing poo poo that won't be explained or have a payoff until the sequels. While I'm sure they'll be using Unicron eventually, I don't think those are it. Maybe like a herald to Unicron?

I've always read the water thing not as a plot hole, but more of an homage to "War of the Worlds". Also, "Signs" is underrated as gently caress.

I haven't seen a Shyamalan joint since "The Last Airbender", which was his first legitimately awful film since "The Village". But "Lady" was nowhere near as bad as people said it was and "The Happening" was just one of the funniest things I've seen in the last few years. But I probably should watch AE if nothing else to see if it really is as bad as people told me. e: Just realized he didn't make a movie between "Airbender" and "After Earth". Doh!
