I was going to tackle the idiocy of The Village's premise (you'd have to be rich as fuck to pay FAA enough money to not send any planes over your little nature reserve, which would require a gigantic radius since planes and contrails can be seen for many, many miles), but frankly I had figured out what that movie's twist was going to be from about the first ten minutes of the film and am pretty lackadaisical about hating on such an obviously flawed film. It's like not even worth it. It's not even horribly flawed like Signs, it just has very basic plot holes, like the idea that you can control people with fear of monsters even though there is not one example of a victim provided for them, or that the idea could somehow never come up in the little kiddies heads to create weapons, or that no one ever murdered anybody prior to that (I guess it was because the kids had just started reaching puberty?), no one else has ever needed modern medicine, no one else just defied the elders and went out and did shit prior to that despite all the kids being like twenty when the movie starts, etc.

My main problem with Shyamalayn is his continual assholedness about whether or not the monsters are real. You begin with the assumption they are, which quickly turns into the assumption they aren't after about the first ten minutes. Then you are told they aren't. But then (and I thought Shyamalayn was going to suddenly be clever for once!), you think that they ARE real, because look here's one that looks way more realistic than all the others and is literally trying to kill the blind chick! I suddenly thought the movie was actually going to turn out to be good! But no, it's just the retarded guy, he broke out and stole the one really realistic monster costume from the shack. So now you hate M. Night for being such an asshole by ruining the one good twist in the movie (by negating it), plus adding another plot hole (why would some of the costumes be of lower quality than others? Why is there one really convincing costume?).

There, that is why The Village sucks. I'm surprised I got up the energy for it, it's not even fun to hate on. It's just bad.

GUH

A few years ago, when I was, like... 12 or something, I can't remember exactly when, my mom decided to watch Signs because she happens to like it and I happened to sit down with her to watch some of it.
Everything was perfectly fine until they got to the news report of an alien in Brazil with the footage that I was all "OSHI-" and fled the room.

That thing scared me.
I'm also pretty sure I'm remembering the right movie.

Signs is weird in that from a technical standpoint, its quite good. its the plot that makes everything go to shit, and that improves a lot if you consider that the aliens aren't really aliens, they're demons.

How does that work, now?

Reguardless, if water burns you like acid you probably shouldn't walk around naked in a place where its fairly common

Do you think it's possible for this movie to get a 0.8% on RottenTomato?

This was like therapy for me.

Lady In The Water had some good moments, though.

I heard.

Paul Giamatti is the worst lovable good guy ever.
