This movie is so fucking stupid. But it's still better than the movies Shammy made after it.

I would like to see full commentary on such films, but I believe that such a commentary would violate some kind of copy right.

Wasn't a horrible movie but was sort of lack luster. And yes, yes that is a sex toy. Cost $12.50.

I have to say, after watching The Happening and Lady in the Water, I sometimes wonder what it must be like to think like M. Night Shyamalan. Bad dialogue is one thing, but all of his movies after Signs seem to indicate that M. Night has no grasp on the bare basics of filmmaking or human interaction. Does he really think people talk like this? Does he really think people won't notice that his characters have all the verisimilitude and personality of one of those motivational posters you see in Skymall? How does a person once considered to be the next Alfred Hitchcock suddenly lose his grasp on basic filmmaking 101?
I actually thought for a while that his past few movies were parodies, or some weird kind of trolling, but listening to him talk, quite seriously, about the deeper meaning of The Happening, makes me realize that Shyamalan is probably a pod person. He's like Tommy Wiseau, only Tommy was actually self-aware afterwards. XD

The first time I saw this movie I really liked it, but when I think back on it now I think the same thing you guys said; it's too much. There was a really good idea here. Shame the execution failed.

Love the Mega Man thing on your door there. Awesome.

Screw the movie, I was more interested in the manga collection that was on the shelf in some of the pans next to Brad. I think I saw the Viz-Big editions of Dragon Ball on there

I believe they're Jillian's. She's the anime freak in the house.

This was actually filmed at our place. The majority of the manga on the shelf is Sarah's.

Forget the sex-toy in the background of the movie- I saw M.O.D.O.K in YOUR background!!!
And I like Lady in The Water- it's like a wonderfully ridiculous 80's Fantasy Movie made today... if today was 2006.

I like the movie because of the fairy tale part. Some of the parts I could have done without.
Idid enjoy this review. I esp loved how confused poor Brian got.

"How does a person once considered to be the next Alfred Hitchcock suddenly lose his grasp on basic filmmaking 101?"
I believe that was by people who couldn't guess that Bruce Willis was dead in the Sixth Sense movie trailer or that they were watching an episode of Twilight Zone stretched out to theaterical length. Also M. Night stole the idea of The Sixth Sense from an episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark a child's tv show.
Plus M. Night is a lot like Bobby Jindal in both apperance and how they act towards people and speak of their fundie Christian faith. For some reason from these two examples converting to Christanity in Indians from the Hinduism that their immigrant parents brought over destroys certain parts of the brain and therby personality.

The thing I remember about this movie that totally threw me for a loop is something pretty inconsequential, considering the train wreck that the rest of the movie is:
Since when does 'Narf' even pretend to be a Korean word? Look at that word. It's something Pinky would say, it's hardly something you'd see in any fairytale in the asiatic region. It doesn't even try to imitate the lexical Korean language!
For some reason, that one little thing completely destroyed the entire movie for me. In the first few seconds.
Mind you, the fact that the rest of the movie sucks horribly doesn't help. Brad is right that it's self-indulgent pretension taken to extremes. Seriously... M. Night plays himself as Writing Jesus. Literally, that's who he is. He plays a guy who literally saves the world and dies for it sins... by writing.
And the critic guy dies horribly. Which is really odd since at this time it was only The Villiage which recieved somewhat lukewarm reviews. Signs sucked, but all the critics seemed to regard it as this masterpiece. So Lady in the Water is basically Night whining about how ONE of his movies was not as masturbated to as the others.
Fuck. You, M. Night. Fuck you.
Reply to this
The best way to say about this is I hope you guys will do more of that in the future. If I can Irequest one, how about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or The Happening if you're sticking with the theme of Bad M. Night flicks!

Jesus Motherfucking Christ, you people are the most pretentious, fat fucks (fat fucks that also happen to be motherfucking LOSERS!) that me and Bob have seen in our lives. Motherfuckers.
Lady in the Water is a fucking masterpiece and you fucks didn't even give it a fucking chanse. Fuck you. You fat fucks.

Oh hello Mr/Mrs Troll. It's so very nice to make your aquaintince.

It's not a Troll! It's Jay and Silent Bob! Though I don't have any idea why they would post here!
But nice reference anyways!

Whoops! Well that's what I'll get for trying to defend Brad, Sarah and Brian while not being up on my Jay and Silent Bob references.

Hey, Mr. Troll sir, uhm the real kevin smith would have said something funny so you fail sir.

"It's something Pinky would say, it's hardly something you'd see in any fairytale "
I was thinking Pinky or some Nerf ripoff from China not a freaking fairytale. She is basically a Naiad which something you do find in a lot of cultures.

Sorry, Brad. Kind of hard to hear that review when the ads for that unwatchable "Glee" show keep popping up every time.
Reply to this
I cannot watch this, the Glee ad plays through the entire video over it

I saw this piece of shit in theaters. Also is anyone else having problems with Blip, ads play while the video plays, than when the ad ends the video ends.

It seems to happen if I have multiple videos from blip opened up. Hitting pause tends to cause the ad to stop playing permently or cause the ad to finish then the video will play when I unpause it. What I hate are those freaking popups in the video that I have to carefully click the x to close.

Actually, there is a movie where the hero knows he's in a movie. But It's actually fairly clever and fun to watch.
It;s called "The Movie Hero" And I actually recommend it.
Also Lady in the water has been used by my friends an I as a punishment for when one of us does something stupid or inconsiderate. We won;t forgive them until they sit down and watch the movie.
In that regard though its very effective, we've all be much more civil since that movie came out.

I love how the cat looked at the camera and gave you a look like "What the fuck is this movie? I'm outta here" and then walked off.
Reply to this
I could never make it all the way through Lady in the Water. It lacked the unintentional hilarity The Happening had. I'd actually watch The Happening over any of M. Night's supposed "good movies," which truthfully, kind of suck too.
Reply to this
For a good example of a movie (or originally a play) where characters are aware of being in someone else's story, I would suggest Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Area Dead.

Was that Trigun on the bookshelf?
Reply to this
Yup! It's one of the few things on that whole bookcase that's mine. By the way, everything on there is 2 layers deep, so take everything you can see and times that by 2 and you'll be close on how much there really is.

Is their cat pregnant?

You guys are like the Joy Luck club if they lived on the Satellite of Love. And had 66 percent more beard.
It's still better than Turkish Lady in the Water.

You put this video together very fluidly. Its like we spend time with the 3 of you watching the movie, but not every second of it. Wasn't too much, or too little. just a nice amount of commenting on the movie.
We need to have more of this. An unscripted evening with friends watching a movie together.

I think Shyamalan is a really great director. If he would just stick to simple stories that involve just a couple of major characters he'd still be making hit movies. You look at his movies and you'll realize that the more characters he has in a flick the worse it is.
Sixth Sense - two main characters and two supporting characters.
Unbreakable - Two main characters, two supporting characters.
Signs - Four main characters, no real supporting characters.
The village - Four main characters? Three? Five? A half dozen supporting characters?
Lady in the water - two main characters? four? supporting characters?
I kinda thought that The Last Airbender would force him to write a better script, because there are a few well defined characters in that show, but he managed to all but ignore the main characters and wrote a movie about all the side-characters they meet throughout the first season.
Classic case of a guy who's trying to break the rules without knowing what the rules are or why he wants to break them.

I remember I saw bits and pieces of this movie when I worked at the theater, and not liking it at all.
Thanks guys.

Hi!
Do you not think about the environment? Let's work on renewable energy?
What can you offer in terms of advertising?
