Great Movie




You are the only person I have talked with that saw that twist coming, after seeing it yes it is very apperiant.
And not going to see a movie based on its rating that is just crazy, so because M. Night had to take one 4 second clip out of the movie to keep it for going "R" so you are seeing a "R" movie minus a 4 second clip.

The Sixth Sense's "twist" was so incredibly obvious it wasn't even funny... then to have everyone say "omg the ending just totally threw me off.." Kinda makes me wonder if people even PAY ATTENTION to what they watch anymore. This same argument of mine applies with The Others and its "twist" ending that was obvious within the first 30 minutes.

No. Unbreakable was one of the best superhero movies ever.

Kostya's top ten problems with 'The Village' and it's terrible, terrible plot.

Spoiler:
1. What sort of IDIOTIC maniac actually believes that created an isolated, village in a nature preserve will somehow stave off heartbreak? Did they think nobody would die? Did these people somehow get caught up in their childish dream so much that they didn't perhaps think to consider the drawbacks of leaving the modern world? Worst plot hole in the film.

2. Was it supposed to be a surprise when they opened the box to reveal, shock horror, the secret that they were all really from Philly? I mean this is the secret we all guessed at the first mention of 'the towns'. Moreover, the secret was totally given away when the bearded wanker actually mentioned money and that that his father was shot with a gun about 40 minutes before the supposed plot twist.

3. Didn't anyone else notice that the 'creatures' were quite clearly fake. I mean are we supposed to believe they were evil twig men? Why the hell did he show them onscreen, as soon as you do that it ruins it massively.

4. How the hell could the blind girl know that the thing she was touching was 'those we do not speak of' when she's never touched one, has no idea what they feel like. Moreover, why did the father claim 'I can't explain it in words' and allow his blind daughter to walk terrified into the shed, potentially causing her to scream and totally blow his whole operation when the words 'It's a fake suit we wear when we pretend to be the creatures, yeah we made them up.' would have explained it in words.

5. It is never explained how they 'created' the screaming sounds in the forest? Some kind of water powered gramaphone?

6. I was so outraged by the ridiculous convenience of the nice benevolent ranger happening to drive along the road at the exact moment Ivy climbs the fence it wasn't funny. Moreover, why did he not inform his superiors that a bunch of nutcases were living in the nature preserve?

7. Didn't anybody notice the disturbing absence of ALL the elders everytime the creatures arrived?

8. The conclusion of the film contained no closure at all. The Elders are still living in their ridiculous fantasy, and moreover, now that everyone knows that Ivy, a blind girl, single handedly slew one of the creatures, their mystique is totally fucked since they're mortal and can now be hacked to pieces by angry villagers with apple pickers.

9. Aren't there more effective, less crazy ways to escape the violence of the city like say, move to the country. Or move to another country like Denmark.

10. Aren't the Elders taking their oath a little seriously, especially since they've managed to debunk their entire reason for going. In fact, couldn't one of them gone, gotten what was needed, come back, in the middle of the night, thus not jeopardising the myth of the creatures, or the innocence of the Village in any way.


Don't even start me on the rest of it's drawbacks
