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.

The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...

Re: video post - That's what I liked about this movie. People were laying down in front of lawn mowers and sh*t. This movie was like those old sci-fi movies I would watch on Saturday afternoon.

I just finishing watching this. I pretty much only got it from Netflix so I would understand these pictures. And I have to say, I think I probably would have been yelled at in the theater too. Like Spiderman all over again.
