M. Night Shyamalan's The Spooky Wind Cell Phone Disease

New trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, you guys:

I know that it's really easy to make fun of M. Night Shyamalan, and that he's up in his mysterious mansion made of whispers and tin foil laughing at us for wasting our time worrying about it. But seriously, the guy is the worst. And don't throw that Sixth Sense nonsense at me, either. The Sixth Sense was OK. It would have made a really great episode of Stephen Spielberg's Amazing Stories back in 1985. If you even mention Signs or Lady In The Water in the same room as me, I will Superman Punch you in the throat.

On the other hand, my dislike of Deus Ex Shyamalan is counter-balanced by my depth of enthusiasm for Mark Wahlberg, who I think is a great actor. Seriously. He is very good at the acting. So there you go. A little bit of good in the midst of a lot of bad. Just like life.

i usually agree with your opinions as i do with what you say about m. night. i am deeply saddened that you like marky mark and want to get in his funky bunch (nullus). honestly, when he's talking to the conductors and he says "with whom?" yeah dude. with whom. i hate him.

i bet everyone who votes this comment up a copy of Amerika on DVD that they're in a computer simulation.

still, he does make a good trailer. it's almost like he starts by imagining a little curio of a trailer then works back to the plot of the whole movie.
