steveo21 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Wasn't a fan of the Village but this could be cool.I love that he is passing it off as something else then turns the end of the trailer into a creepy peace.Night is one of the only Directors out there who has marketing controll over his films. http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/ladyinthewater/large.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Has he had a good film since The Sixth Sense? Unbreakable was OK. Signs could only be considered good if you ignored all the many things that made no sense at all. The Village was horrible. Seems like a trend.

zoony Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I like his movies... all of them. I thought the village was better than most give it credit. But what do I know... other than I can't open that link on this computer. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissU28 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I LOVE this man. I think he's a genious. I loved The Village...I thought it was really smart. I really enjoyed Unbreakable too....and Signs. I saw the trailer for his new movie when I went to see Harry Potter. I was like WTF?! Why would anyone watching that trailer want to see the movie based on the trailer? Then it showed who it was directed by...and I knew I had to see it. Man's incredible. I love his mind.

E-Dog Night Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I thought the Village was pretty good if you went into it with the idea that it wasn't supposed to be a horror flick, or even particularly scary. Signs was just silly - I mean, wouldn't an alien race that conquered the many challenges of space travel figure out a way to survive a splash of water? Unbreakable was up there with some of the worst movies I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Part of the problem with him is that is writing is very good, but over a lot of people's heads. All of his movies are brilliant; it is a shame that they don't get the credit and respect they deserve. What can you say though? Ignorant people seem to have the loudest voices. No wonder there are so many people saying, "I heard the Village sucked, etc." :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinned Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I too was a big fan of The Village. I like that his films always have something that comes out of left field and surprises the heck out of ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I mean, wouldn't an alien race that conquered the many challenges of space travel figure out a way to survive a splash of water? I thought it was very feasible, especially considering how rare liquid water is in our solar system. We seem to be the only planet that has it. ........

zoony Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I thought they weren't from our solar system? well I was using our solar system as an example of what might exist further out there. We don't have the capability to detect how much water (if any?) exists outside of our solar system. Not yet at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yeah Signs was brilliant. The aliens are allergic to water, yet they can frolic through a dewy cornfield and not be harmed. They figured out how to conquer the vastness of space, but get trapped in a pantry. The Village wasn't much better. It did have a decent twist at the end though.

We seem to be the only planet that has it. ........ Actually, evidence of water was found on Mars. And so far, us humans have been able to only study the surface of two planets - earth and mars. So we're 2 for 2. Considering that there are (all numbers estimates) 100,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe, and there are 100,000,000,000 stars per galaxy, that's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, 10 thousand, billion, billion. Properly known as 10 sextillion. And that's a very conservative estimate. Think about how many planets that means.

No wonder there are so many people saying, "I heard the Village sucked, etc." :doh: Ignorant as in uneducated or unimformed? That's about the stupidest statement I've seen on this board. What exactly am I supposed to know that I don't about his writing? It has holes all through it. The movies are fine as long as you don't put much thought into how the aliens managed to come through a cornfield full of dew and not get any water on them. Maybe the movies only make sense to the ignorant eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some info copied from http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk/Extraterrestrial%20life.htm yes, evidence of past water. But no liquid water currently. None on Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus (hehe... he said uranus), Neptune, or pluto. There is talk about liquid water existing under the Ice of (Europa iirc?) a moon, but it is very safe to say it has no chance of existing on the planets I've mentioned above. Water is turning out to be a very rare commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Wouldn't they have had some sort of reaction to the water in the atmosphere.....or did they only land in places with 0% humidity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water is turning out to be a very rare commodity. Like I said, we haven't been able to study the surface of any of those other planets, so we really don't know what's there. And of the ones that we have studied, one definitely has a lot of water, and the other has had water at some point. Seems like it's not so rare, IMO.

Signs was just silly - I mean, wouldn't an alien race that conquered the many challenges of space travel figure out a way to survive a splash of water?Unbreakable was up there with some of the worst movies I have ever seen. I personally enjoyed signs. I liked the irony that water -- the main thing that we are constantly looking for to provide proof of life -- was their only weakness. I thought it was a pretty cool premise. The alien being trapped in the closet was pretty dumb...seems like if you can do a standing jump on to the roof you would have enough leg power to kick a door down...but maybe it was a really small closet? :whoknows: *spoilers* The Village was terrible. I wish I could have that 2.5 hours of my life back...I can't believe I actually waited that long to find out they lived in some stupid nature preserve. So stupid. And they were playing the monsters. And that after only one generation they could be old-school like that. And that the park had a large area like that that no park ranger EVER went in to... Part of the problem with him is that is writing is very good, but over a lot of people's heads. All of his movies are brilliant; it is a shame that they don't get the credit and respect they deserve. What can you say though? Ignorant people seem to have the loudest voices. No wonder there are so many people saying, "I heard the Village sucked, etc." Yeah, thanks for playing. Its not ignorant to have an opinion of a movie, especially a ****ty one. So take your condescending attitude elsewhere, bucko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rincewind Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I don't really like his twists - i saw Sixth Sense coming (though it must have been a lucky guess, cause nobody else did). And my buddy saw the Village and i said let me guess what happens - and was dead on. Now, The Usual Suspects caught me TOTALLY off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
