    I will continue to ride hard on the “Glass is his second best film” train. Here for this.

    I’m a big defender of a couple lesser-appreciated Shyamalan movies (the Village is one of my favorite movies of all time) but the Happening comparison has me a little nervous haha. Still excited for this though

    We would be lucky if it was as good as The Happening.

    An inconsequential shift as the continents drift.

    I am pretty intrigued by this and agree he's been on an upswing recently, but if it's even in the same ballpark of quality as Unbreakable I will eat every hat I own (several)

    so the trailer has all the hallmarks of a bad M night Shyamalan film which comes down to him taking fantastic actors/actresses and getting them to deliver lines in a really corny/bad/offputting way. The whole Mark Whalberg 'What? nooo' comes to mind from the trailer.

    this is the most fucked up thing you will (or won’t, if your foresight is better than mine) ever watch for possibly some time

    I'm expecting this to be bad, but I'm very excited for it regardless.

    I’m sure this will be, at the very least, extremely wild

    I’ve never seen another director so adept at taking very good actors and getting them to act badly.

    A lot of discussion will be about the twist, like it always is with Shyamalan, but it is kind of undercut by the ending within the film, which strips away the moral questions of what the island was for and what the purpose of it all was. It is impossible to know what happened, but it feels like outside interference.

    Lucas wishes he was as good at it as Shyamalan is

    Fucking loved this. A lot of people will hate it. Disagree.

    Shyamalan changed the ending himself VERY recently, so recently that the cast that had seen the movie didn’t even know the new ending.

    I do wish he would get a fucking co-writer. I agree, he just does not know how to write dialogue at all.

    God, his confidence with the camera is this thing is just a marvel to watch at times.

    It’s definitely a well made, good looking movie. Just a shame the dialogue and performances aren’t up to the same level.

    Mid-Sized Sedan is probably the funniest fake rapper name in the history of movies.
