the happening

posted 5 months ago by dobi

this was one of the funniest movies i have EVER seen. so many goddamn LOL moments i can’t even begin to remember. the guy in front of us was by himself and was howling with laughter the whole movie which then became contagious.

a must see.

    i found it pretty insulting. i felt like i was basically duped into paying $10 to watch an hour and a half long environmental protection commercial.

    i dont know what i thought of it, i definitely laughed a lot... but the whole microphone at the top of the screen thing threw me off... but it was funny as hell at times.

    it was entertaining, i liked it.. there were a lot of funny parts. but i did feel like it may have gotten a little too political at the end

    that was your theatres fault for not running it in scope instead of flat. it happens alot.

    then that midget on the stilts who ran out signing, "one by one the ants go marching". I thought he was going to kill everyone with his mystical sword of destiny until the terradactyl swooped down and plucked him from the orchard. Thus leaving the world to be over run by ink bees hopped up on acid controlled by dr. satan from house of a 1,000 corpses.

    i havent seen it yet, but with how he twists his movies I figure anything that leaves you going "what the fuck,... that was stupid" is possible.

    I seriously don’t recommend seeing this. It was probably one of the worst movies I’ve seen and I too had the microphone problem.

    i actually enjoyed the movie. when it was over, the group of 17-19 year old guys that were sitting next to us (farting and laughing the whole time) were all like, "that was fucking stupid. i want my fucking money back. blah blah blah."

    it’s definitely different, but all of m. night shamalamalama’s movies are different. you either get them or you don’t.

    Wow. I just DL’ed and watched it. I’m glad I didn’t pay to see it. What a piece of shit. Mark Wahlberg’s acting is a joke too.

    It seemed like the movie was made in the wrong generation. Black and white and in the 50's may have been more suitable. Maybe that’s what he was going for, idk.

    i thought the movie was ehh. i didn’t hate it, but i didn’t like it a lot either. it made me think about the end of the world though and when i got home i read about this ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Equation and this ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock now that’s some scary shit

    Nay, it’s only 14A in Canada as well. There’s not really even any swearing or anything. Just a couple graphic scenes.

    It was quasi entertaining. The best part was the random crazy old lady. He should make a movie about her. I would wait till it comes out on video to see, not worth the ticket price.

    Yeah, this was honestly the biggest waste of money I’ve spent on a movie in theatres before.

    ...and I saw One Missed Call in theatres.

    anthonyBEARryan said 5 months ago

    Warning, may contain spoilers!heres what i’ve got from multiple viewings ( understand that i don’t pay for movies, working in a theatre and all )
    The old lady, to me represented the final appearance of " mother nature " she let them in, took care of them, but was very defensive and took action when she felt in danger. I don’t per se think it was plants as much as the planet itself as the bad guy, seeing as how the wind was a major " plot point "
    the preggor test scene for me, was showing " rebuilding " or a chance to start over new.
    the only real shocker to me was the scene with the shotgun and the two kids. that did startle me the first time.
    overall, i felt like it was missing something.
    would the world really go back to normal after something like this like the movie seems to show?
    6/10

    Cellular was the worst film about phone related incidents I’ve ever seen :)

    I think there is a Stephen King book that was going to be made into a movie b y Eli Roth about cell phones turning people into zombies... or something. As far as this movie goes... Hes done way better, and of course you can’t really do worse than Signs... but thats just me.

    i came from nothing said 5 months ago

    just watched it twice, as I though I missed something...I didnt miss anything, nothing happened in the entire film, apart from whooo scarry wind. No drama, action, horror, plot or anything that would be worth watching.

    He out did himsle, even shiter than Signs and that was shit.

    Warning, may contain spoilers!Any one pick up on the mood ring?... I am sure that had some deeper meaning, M Night likes to do shit like that, very similar to the Sixth sense with the color red... ah i need the dvd commentary now!

    it’s called CELL, and it’s awesome and brutal. M. Night has always been hit or miss with me. Unbreakable was amazing, sixth sense sucked, The Village was alright, Signs was mediocre almost to the point of suck, Lady in the Water is one of the best fantasy films i’ve ever seen and i have yet to see the happening. on my list of DL for the day.

    OMG, this movie was sooooo bad. It was almost like M.Knight said "Hey, you think my other movies are bad? Well I’ll show you what a REALLY bad movie is!" Holy shite the acting was bad, the dialog was bad, the story was bad. There was no reveal... it was just one note through the whole thing.

    Saw it tonight. Really fucking good.

    Really good.

    You have to follow what is "happening". You have to let it draw you in. If you focus on the comedy in the way people are dying, and you think of it as sucking - you’re going to hate it.

    I would see it again.
