He’s right, this truly is like something out of a Paul Verhoeven movie

 

Clearly getting ready for his role in the Barry Berkman movie.

 

Watching Signs for the first time, and I'm wondering if M. Night Shyamalan has ever talked to a human before? The dialogue is soo bad haha nobody acts like a real person

 

i love signs

 

I love M. Night.

 

Everyone seems to talk like a robot idk haha

 

Signs might be my favorite of his

 

I thought about bringing Signs to school tomorrow. So terrifying.

 

I think Uncle Merrill is the only normal-acting person

I do love how quickly they jumped into the story though, no slow build up at all.

 

The thing I didn’t get about Signs when I was a kid is that it’s pretty fucking funny.

 

Reading this take:

 

Hahaha I did love that scene

 

haha

 

I admit I did like it! Just had a few problems with it

 

What did we do as a society do to deserve Bert Kreischer and Sebastian Maniscalo movies back to back?

 

i’m all for complaining about how tech companies are ruining the industry and any creative endeavors but i don’t see how that change is that big of a deal. most anyone who would bother looking up to see writer director credits knows what “creator” means in the context.

 

By removing the distinction between “director” and “creator”, specifically when viewing the page for a work of cinema, it’s a sign of the continuing absorption of cinema by content as presented by corporations, a devaluing of art compared to content. It seems small, and in terms of priority as a single issue it is, but I understand the perspective.

 

If a casual film fan wanted to see more films by the people who made Raging Bull, that information is being obscured. Peter Savage is not the pipeline to decades of amazing films.

 

And Frank Vincent is not the star of Raging Bull

 

It’s a further push toward devaluing art. Directors make films. Creators make content.
