A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Blogs: The 9 Funniest Things In The Happening

thumbnail icon: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Blogs: The 9 Funniest Things In The Happening

Lindsay and I went to see M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening yesterday. It was truly an epic FAIL, although to be fair, the people who turned around in their seats and yelled at us "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, THIS ISN'T A COMEDY. SO RUDE" had a point. What the fuck were we laughing at when we should have been crying. "Why haven't you welcomed us to heaven before this movie was released, God?" Oh wait, I remember what we were laughing at. Everything, you dumb idiots who were in front of us. You were so dumb.

There has already been plenty written about this movie. After the jump, we offer the 9 funniest things from M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening that we could put together using a Google image search. It will probably only make sense if you have seen the movie. We're professionals at writing things that everyone can enjoy. Also SPOILER ALERT. But if you have seen the movie LAUGHS ALERT.

I love the spoiler-picture review; fucking awesome (and nine pictures adds a draw your own laughable spoiler picture from The Happening). What's so amazing is that the movie starts horrible and then proceeds to get astoundingly worse and worse. Hulk LOL.

Whatever you think about the movie... well, you guys just sound like assholes... or 6th graders. It looks dumb to me, but if I paid $10 to see it I'd expect to be shown a minor level of respect from two bloggers who have some weird masochistic obsession with M. Night Shyamalan. Please let this bizarre obsession end. And maybe don't be such self-absorbed dicks the next time you go to a movie.

I wish i would of known that M. Night Shyamalan also made Signs and The village before I had bought my ticket!!! (Lindsay I really hated the village in the middle of the modern world idea (i was listering in KIRO news Seattle around 8pm, you guys are great)) The previus and poster were awesome, and i was terribly disapointed- the movie was horrible!!! When a joke came up??? they didn't make me laugh I just wonder: why are they jokes in a "scary movie" and even though I did jump like twice nothing was coherent, the isolated old lady was so creepy and scary and she scareme but she didn't have nothing to do with the whole wind/plants scary stuff!!! What happend to Yvette, why didn't the leguizano character take care of his child if he knew he was exposing his himself and could die??? What was the whole thing with the old lady's creepy doll??? what happend to joey??? why was she pregnant if they didn't even have sex???

I can't believe that I still want to go see this (more for the schadenfreude factor now). I think I must be one movie shy of disliking/disapproving of Shymalan.

Dear Videogum,
No hot dog spoiler pictures? They get a bad rap, you know...

If there was a way to get a pictoral representation of Zooey Deschanel smiling awkwardly and shaking her head to say "no, I don't like hot dogs, what a silly question" that would obviously be in here.

Those are the kind of fucktards that ruin a good movie experience in theaters.

I once had two women turn around and shush me for laughing at the trailer for Radio. The trailer.
