Let's All Go to the Movies

Unbreakable is probably his best. I also liked Split but then he completely bumbled that “Trilogy” with Glass.

The Village is probably my second favorite. But it ain’t great, lol.

I hated The Sixth Sense but that’s probably just because some idiot kid ruined the twist for me when I was a kid.

Lady in the Water is so far up its own ass it wasn’t even funny.

Signs is probably his most commercial work and it’s… fine? I just find a lot of his movies have little to no replay value once you see the twist.

This conversation was well timed, as I see several Twitter reviewers savaging his new one, Old.

I don't give a shit, The Happening is intentionally bad. It has to be.

 

[LurchingBeast]

The new trailer uses the full title "DUNE: PART ONE"

Kids are peppering me with M Night Shamalyan (?) questions. Must have seen Robot Chicken. All I’ve seen is Sixth Sense, so have they.

Any others worth the time?

they also want to know if there is always a twist.

I'm a pretty big MNS hater, but I'll admit that Split was pretty good. Depending on the age of your kids, though, this may not be advisable viewing. It's about holding a woman hostage and is closer to traditional horror than his others.

Oh hey, it looks incredible, who would have thought?

I'm going to be super annoyed when this flops and we never get part 2.

I’ll put this here because it’s really for the movie people

I like they added in a planet to the middle of the E so people can no longer think they're clever and call the movie DUNC

Old - 1.5/10

If it's not intentionally bad, it's the worst movie of the year. The other choice is it's a comedy made by someone with the worst sense of humor on planet Earth. Some of the most painful, unnatural dialogue I've ever witnessed. It wasn't goofy enough to be Lanthimos, so I don't think it was intentional. The audience laughed at parts that definitely were not meant to be funny. These actors don't deserve to look this bad. Wardrobe needed to put some fuckin clothes on Thomasin McKenzie.

So, definitely not back to early 2000s form for Shyamalan.

Huh. That’s not what was I expecting. Spoilers for Old below if you’re like me and have zero interest in ever watching it.

Old: Does M. Night Shyamalan's New Film Have a Twist Ending?

Early in his career, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan delivered audiences multiple consecutive experiences that featured unexpected reveals in their final moments, leading him to earn a reputation that all of his narratives would feature such shocking twists and turns. The drawback to this structure...

Just watched Caddyshack with the kids. Ted Knight was a treasure. His role is the kind that should be nominated for best actor nods. Brilliance.

You've got teenagers, right? Trying to figure out for my own kids. I figure I got almost 7 years before I should watch it with them.

14 and 12. They get all the sex jokes. 12 yoa gets goofy during sex scenes (he asks his brother what they’re doing which is to be expected. I have to pause the movie sometimes and hush them when significant dialogue is about to happen.

I read the thumbnail as “Ending his career” which also appears to work.

That movie sounds dumb as bricks.
