    Totally hilarious

    Nuts. I was hoping this would be a solid movie. Here's hoping that a couple posters that said it was a thinking kind of movie have my same taste in film.

    Although I do agree that the advertising has been juuuuust a little silly.

    I have to disagree. I enjoyed Signs, Lady in the Water, and The Village.

    Sure, his movies aren't real "heady" and the acting is sometimes lacking. But his movies always have me on the edge of my seat. They are entertaining.

    Not my favorite director, but I'll watch all his movies!

    I'm not looking forward to seeing the Happening. I thought Unbreakable and Lady in the Water sucked.

    BUT!..

    I just re-bought Signs on blu-ray.. I'd put it up there as one of the Sci-Fi/horror greats.

    The Village was ok. The Sixth Sense was good..

    The previews reminded me of Andromeda Strain meets the Stand.

    As far as M Nights other movies....
    Sixth Sense - really good
    Unbreakable - decent
    Signs - good (at least Joaquin Phoenix anyways)
    Lady in Water - absolute horse shit!

    That is, any movie not including the words "Star Wars" or "The Matrix" in the title. Or countless comedy classics. But for any other movie of substance, I agree.

    I felt the same way about that one movie...Unbroken...or Fragile...or whatever it was called.

    Unbreakable was marketed wrong, that's Disney's fault, M wanted it marketed as it was, a comic book type movie. In that sense, me growing up on them, I liked it. Disney wanted to try and market it as another 6th Sense type thriller with a twist, and it disappointed those target audience.

    :p
