The Trailer For M. Night's VILLAGE Shows Up Online!

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...

Just got in this terse missive:

post, tell the world!

CLICK HERE FOR ANY FORMAT YOU WOULD EVER NEED TO SEE THE TRAILER IN!!

Okay. Nice trailer. Very pretty, but that’s to be expected. Shyamalan is a stickler for his pretty pictures. I hate being the one person online who isn’t excited about this film. I wish I could say I was wrong about the script when I reviewed it, but I wasn’t. The twist ending I hinted heavily at is indeed the real ending of the film, and that’s going to be a real problem.

I got a call from a filmmaker the other day, worried about THE VILLAGE, and he asked me to explain the film’s premise to him. As soon as I told him the twist, he relaxed, and then he started mocking the film and laughing about it, and about the audience’s eventual reaction to it. See, I’m a firm believer that a twist is fine... but to spend two hours bald-faced lying to an audience, only to pull the rug out from under them in the most obvious and insulting way... that’s a recipe for disaster.

But, hey... I know how M. Night’s fans are. You’re going to insult me in the TalkBacks. You’re going to say I just don’t like the guy, despite me having been one of his first and most vocal advocates online. You’re going to refuse to believe that he could really have the staggering contempt for the viewing public that this script demonstrates, and you’re going to go on believing that until you see it for yourself.

And when you do... when you realize that we are all the "stupid fucking white people" that he seems to hate so much... oh, man, I can’t wait to see the bloodbath that erupts...

"Moriarty" out.
