I Hate Plants
The other day, I finally watched The Happening.
If you don’t know, The Happening is the most recent movie from M. Night Shyamalan and it came out in 2008. Shyamalan is responsible for such atrocities as The Village and Lady in the Water, but also the decent Sixth Sense. And, if you haven’t seen any of them, he likes to wrap up most of his movies with a “Oh, wow look where destiny brought us” kind of endings. He’s a purveyor of the twist ending.
This movie was rated R because of his pervasive use of violence to show how “scary” his movie was. Problem is, it still wasn’t scary. AND, the big twist was…
WAIT.
SPOILER ALERT!
That the plants were emitting a toxin of some sort that makes you kill yourself in gruesome fashions… but it just stops. There’s no conclusion. It just… happens.
I’m sure he was trying to get across a tree-hugging message or something, but it just made me want to stock up on Round-Up and start killing ever plant in sight. There are ways to get messages across, and that wasn’t a good one.
not to be snooty, but i believe it's purveyor, not 'perveyor'.
also, i have no idea why you watched that movie. 6th Sense was really good because you had no idea the twist was coming. but M. has nothing else in his arsenal. once you've seen two of his movies you know that the end will have a big, crazy reveal.
also, also, your comment thing won't let me have my preferred nickname. but that's okay, WordPress won't let me do anything even close.
If you signed up for the IntenseDebate thing, it will let you change what your name shows as. My username is actually much longer. bman was way taken.
Oh, and I'm fixing the spelling. Thanks for looking out!
i don't want to sign up for more crap, i already lose track of stuff.
