I am now dumber for watching Lady in the Water!

[Shell Beau]

Discuss.

[Left Is Write]

1. You want people to discuss the level of your dumb?

:silly:

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

3. Nah, we'd be here all night!

;)

[ghostsofgiants]

2. It's an M. Night Shyamalan film, of course you are.

[Shell Beau]

4. But I did like The 6th Sense. Was that his only good one?

[wildhorses]

5. pretty much--yeah

i keep hoping but, looks like he shot his wad on that one. i refuse to see lady in the water

[Shell Beau]

8. I watched it because I like scary movies.

I thought this one would be! It wasn't. It was just stupid!

[wildhorses]

10. i like scary movies,too. the previews looked stupid and then

it got shot down like crazy and i thought i would wait for the dvd. by that time EVERYONE said it is such a stinker that i figure 'why bother?'

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Scary movies I might just be able to help you with.

Though give me a little while to compile a list of good ones, haha.

[Shell Beau]

14. I am such a sucker for them!

And as dumb as I thought The Descent was, I did jump a few times. That is what I love.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I like 'em weird and creepy, usually.

Which is why I'm such a big David Lynch fan, haha. But yeah, give me a little while and sometime tonight I'll PM you with a list of some of my favourites to check out.

[Shell Beau]

16. Thanks! What is your personal scary fave?

Mine would be The Shining!!

[ghostsofgiants]

17. The Shining definitely ranks up there...

Along with Lost Highway and A Tale of Two Sisters...I dunno, you'll see once I have the list finished, haha.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Yep, and that one isn't as great as most people say it is, in my opinion.

But it's the only of his films I've been able to note entirely hate, haha.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Mmhmm.

I thought there were parts of Signs that I liked. Then I realize he just completely ripped them out of The Night of the Living Dead.

[Shell Beau]

9. I liked Signs. But The Village and then this one, just plain awful!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. I thought Unbreakable was his best.

[JackBeck]

11. I believe it made quite a few of those Worst Movies of 2006 lists.

Was it that bad?

[Shell Beau]

12. It really was. It was just stupid.

Don't even waste those precious hours of your life watching it.

[JackBeck]

23. If it makes it to cable

and I have nothing to do, I may waste some time enjoying its dumbness.

[Richardo]

25. Yes it was - as wsa 'Black Dahlia'

another incomprehensible mish mash where every 'twist' was there just to be a twist. x(

[Strawman]

18. Yeah. I rented the Baby Ruth in the Water too

The cartoon at the beginning might have been the dumbest thing I have ever seen ever.

This review I read afterward made me laugh out loud: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060720/REVIEWS/60720002/1023
It made it all better.

[Richardo]

24. I knew when I saw that opening that I would not care what happened in that movie

...and I was right. :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in that movie...

[Shell Beau]

21. It was definitely strange!

[Okiojira]

20. With all the bad reviews I keep hearing about this movie

I think I might want to see it just for the sheer train-wreck factor! Point of fact, it's next in line on my Netflix queue...

[CactusJock]

22. i think he shot his bolt with 6th sense

his twist in the tail endings got a bit boring after that.

I think the rot really set in with Signs though. Sixth sense seemed so clever and original and then Signs comes along and its like he made a slick update of an old-fashioned 50's b-movie. e.g. the aliens wandering around without clothes on, in the syle of proper cold war-era little green men - from what i know of our own space program that just seems unlikely.

i haven't seen Lady yet but the plot sounded so preposterous i figured i'd double check with someone who'd seen it first. thanks for heads up!

[Nicole]

26. Thanks for saving me $3.95

I was going to watch it on PPV later. I can't afford to be dumbed down. :P

[GalleryGod]

27. Well...

We LOVED it !:bounce: :popcorn: :bounce:

[Redbear]

28. Me too.

I liked the Village as well.

[GalleryGod]

29. Yup.

Another one.
