Yup. He's basically willing to sacrifice all narrative sense just so he can shoehorn a twist in. Signs still annoys me when I think about it. Allergic to fucking water?! Really?! Fucking really?!
He has no talent... just trying to duplicate his fluke success with 6th sense. -

Registered 16 years agoAfter Earth proves that his is a very, very, very shitty director.
Its a film that kids will study in art school as an example of everything that can go wrong with a film. Its a genuine piece of shit without a single redeeming feature.
Its not even funny like the happening, its just infuriating. -

There's a lot of stuff about him being a stealth scientologist about. After Earth is supposed to be the ultimate secret brain wash device.

Registered 16 years agoYeah, i have heard that but, as i say, i think its giving it too much credit.
If it is scientology propaganda, they need to sack their strategist as it is at least as bad as that other scientology vanity project, Battlefield Earth and I dont say that lightly. -

Will Smith co-wrote this pile of shit I believe... He pushed it to studios and was also the one of the "producers" along with his wife, hence why that cunt jayden smith is in it.

Not seen the happening, but will have to check it out now -
Ah man, I really loved Signs the first time I saw it. You guys are way too cynical.
About everything.
And I say that as a cynical old bastard. -
No, but suggesting that his just announced movie that no one has seen is going to be shit just because you didn't like his other stu.... wait, I get it now. -

There is a bit where they are playing the old clichéd suspense music and Wahlberg turns around and sees a rubber plant and does his terrified face that is one of the funniest things I have seen in years.
It is hilariously entertaining.
Watching Mark Wahlberg try to outrun a stiff breeze whilst attempting to look terrified, is brilliant.
I even think at the core of the Happening there is a reasonably good idea. It’s the execution that made it so stupid. -

It'll be shite. Man hasn't made a good movie since well, forever.

Whoa. At first I thought this was silly, but it makes a surprising amount of sense. It's never explicitly said that it's aliens, and would explain the no clothes, weakness to water, relatively low intelligence for what should've been a spacefaring race, and their Silent Hill style radio crackling. The crop circles could be demonic sigils too, and it'd tie in with the theme of faith quite well.
Except it's not an alien invasion in Signs. It's a demonic one.
It still leaves a few holes, but as far as I can see it leaves less than if it was simply aliens. The invisible ships is the main one I can think of right now. -
Except even fucking demons should know not to invade a planet covered in stuff they're allergic to. -

Demons wouldn't have a choice of destination though. It's invade Earth, or just mull about in whatever Hell-like dimension they've been mulling about in for millenia. They'd probably jump at the chance for a bit of fresh air and not being on fire for all eternity.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Shyamalan wrote it that way, and it's just aliens. But the demon theory has some legs.
