The Visit was pretty badly written as per MNS's usual, but I'll be damned if it wasn't entertaining. I was laughing pretty hard at "Oh gee hi mom, sorry about the huge-rear end smear that I could easily clean off the camera, I know it's conveniently blocking the view of Meemaw and Pep-pep but I'm sure everything's fine!". I still don't know if Shyamalan realizes how stupid his plot contrivances are or not.

He'll say things like, "oh The Happening was supposed to be a silly B movie" when the film is actually Tommy Wiseau Z-level on a big budget.

With the Visit, I'm starting to feel like Shyamalan just has a really bizarre, naff sense of humor that compells him to write really douchey characters.CelticPredator posted:Scorcher 7 was lit Here we go again... ...again...

Please stop all this unimportant babbling and tell me more about Monster Trucks, the $150 million dollar movie about an alien truck that has been in production since 2014 and has already been written off as a loss. How does this happen? davidspackage posted:With the Visit, I'm starting to feel like Shyamalan just has a really bizarre, naff sense of humor that compells him to write really douchey characters. We joke but M Night is legitimately insane. He cast Paul Giamatti as the lead in Lady in the Water because he had a vision his shoes were calling out to him and on-set when a shot looked bad he angrily berated his cameraman (who was a seasoned professional) rather than admit he had a bad idea for how to frame the scene. Every time he starts to appear normal and like he's heading down to Earth he says or does something that makes me think he's disconnected from reality as ever. He had no idea how bad Avatar was and was in a state of shock when an interviewer brought up how badly it had reviewed. I feel sorry for the guy becausehe loves making movies but he's just living in his own crazy, crazy bubble.

I really don't feel sorry for him because he became a huge star at the age of 30 and as a result has not had to try that hard to get his movies made since then. Almost every director with his level of success goes through a down period where the public turns against their work, but his career seemed to barely suffer from it, and he's still getting movies made with decent budgets to this day. Feel bad for Michael Cimino and Michael Powell, their careers were actually ruined by a single poorly received movie, Shymalan just keeps on truckin.

There's something about the costumes that rubs me the wrong way but I'm not enough of an expert to really explain why. They seem cheap, like they don't belong in a movie that probably cost 100+ million to make.

I hadn't heard of that (shoes?) but I know he left Disney because their head of development didn't read the script day of delivery (she took her son to a party instead). He also had the apartment building built from scratch rather than using a location because he has a thing about making movies in his home state. e: I guess all this adds up to Shyamalan being a real auteur.

Someone will probably do an effortpost about how that's the actual way they dressed back then according to the anime and RPG they're currently playing but they look like bad convention cosplay to me. e: And More posted:Makkhi is a great gift to humanity.

The only iconic thing about Assassin's Creed is the white robes the player character always wears, better make them black, brown and dirty grey.

I have no interest in that movie. However, if someone made a 99 hour looping video of Fassbender jumping off a building onto a cart full of hay, I'd watch that every day.

The white robe thing isn't consistent throughout the series, just the first game really. There's another player character that also wears white robes "canonically" but by that point the series had introduced customizable clothing so everyone was wearing whatever robe they liked the best. The colors aren't what bother me about the costumes. I think its that they look too perfect, every stitch perfect and no dust or dirt or grime anywhere to be seen. I guess it maybe makes sense considering nothing we're seeing is actually real but I still don't like it.

It is sort of strange to make a game where the main character is part of a radical Shia sect and the game is named after that sect and barely mention religion at all.

There's some documentary on Amazon called "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" and I can't imagine how bad the info on it seeing as it is at least a couple of years old.
