I felt compelled after being robbed of $20 to watch this horrible movie to warn anyone and everyone who is thinking of seeing it. It is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Just...plain...awful.

I didnt pay to see it so I dont really feel as ripped off as you, but I didnt think it was all that horrible. It wasnt really as suspenseful as I think he was going for but there was some buildup. I liked how it wasnt a gorefest and he used the whole just out of frame thing for a change. Oh and I am convinced that the poor acting was indeed on purpose. At first I was like, wow Marky Mark is really bad... but then I realized that just about every character was using the same technique. I googled it and I guess he was trying to echo Hitchcock somehow, idk?

The poor reviews kept me away from watching what looked like a suckfest?

M. Night stinks:

The Sixth Sense -- A hit. I'll give him that. I liked it.
Unbreakable -- Garbage.
Signs -- Absolute garbage.
The Village -- bwahaha! Was anyone unaware of "the secrets" after the first ten minutes? Awful.
Lady in the Water -- couldn't finish watching it. God-awful.
The Happening -- gonna watch "Iron Man" for the third time instead.

Concur. Talk about a downward spiral into the craptastic.

You know what my favorite thing about the Sixth Sense was?

I watched the beginning where he fights with the guy.

Fell asleep.

Woke up briefly during the "I see dead people." part.

Fell back asleep.

Woke back up right before Willis realized he was dead.

Nothing like watching a movie for a total of a half an hour, get a free nap out of it, and still know what it's all about.

Thanks 'Night.

WHAT?! You fucker!

the only thing that I got out of the happening was the acceleration of that jeep was awesome. (had to be pc generated)

Yeah, I forgot about that.

Now get this...there were 2 different idiot couples with children around 2 years old in the theater watching this movie. What the hell is wrong with people?

BlueSky.....we went to see THE STRANGERS a couple weekends ago
and this couple had a 2 year old and a baby with them. The 2 year
old looked nothing less than distraught as she walked out. That was
a disturbing movie!

Why the hell would anyone take a 2 year to go see a horror film?

I, for one, refuse to see this movie. When Hollywood decides to stop making these terrible re-makes that don't capture the essence of the original show, I'll start showing up. I mean, this movie doesn't even have a "Shirley" character, and casting Marky Mark as "Raj" and Suzy De Douchenozzle as "Penny" and Puerto Rican Attention Deficit Guy as "Dwayne" is an insult to the struggle that talented black actors have had to face in this country. It's racist, I tell you! Racist!

When I saw Blair Witch, there was a couple with a baby that couldn't have been even 6 months old.

Granted, that 6 month old isn't going to be affected by anything they see on screen...but with people in the audience screaming...it doesn't make for a good movie experience. (The fact that Blair Witch sucked balls nothwithstanding)

It would be dicey to prove in court but IMO you could argue that taking a child old enough to perceive what's going on in the movie to gory films is child abuse.

Take The Happening. This is from memory so forgive me if I miss something disturbing. We had:

- a woman plunging a huge knitting needle into her own neck
- a series of people shooting themselves in the head, complete with arterial blood squirts from the wounds
- construction workers plunging to their deaths, with broken limbs and plenty of blood to go with the horrific sound of their bodies hitting pavement and obstacles
- a high speed vehicle impact with occupant ejection
- a man encouraging a lion to attack him, resulting in the lion ripping his arm off
- a man committing suicide by laying down in front of and being run over by a large industrial-type lawn mower
- teenagers killed by graphic gunfire, one by a shotgun blast to the torso and the other by a rifle shot to the head
- a woman killing herself by repeatedly smashing her face into windows, complete with jagged glass sticking out of her eyes and face

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

So...having a young child at such a film...abuse?

I take back what I said about M. Night Shenanigans . . .

That sounds freakin' awesome!!

If Rob Zombie made a movie wth that stuff in it, he'd be lauded.

I think it's certainly negligent and horrible parenting to take kids to such a movie.

I'm surprised you didn't follow them out to their car, copy their license plate number to your Gestapo notepad, and report them to Child Protective Services.

That seems to be your modus operandi.

If it was actually against the law, I would have.

And if being obnoxious was illegal, I'd be turning you in too.

But how about answering the question? You ok with a 3-year-old watching that kind of violence?

I personally would not let a young child see a movie like that, but if other people bring their kids to movies like that.... as long as they don't cry and make noise during the film.... it's really none of my business regardless of my opinion on the matter.

I have to agree. There's no way to legislate it without having endless debate over where to draw the line.
