Looks damn good, and follows the theory that less is ultamitely more. And since I LIKED Die Hard 3, the repairing of Sam and Bruno has my money. No dead people though, please....
That IS a TV commercial by Flaparoo	Oct 6th, 2000 09:12:00 PM
I saw that on TV about 2 days ago, and it's rated PG-13 which is good so that it will probably be a success.
this movie is so racists by Guerilla_Films	Oct 6th, 2000 11:01:02 PM
Why does the black man have to be a cripple?!? Honestly, though not to offend those who called me a pc thug earlier, this looks somewhat interesting. I'm interested in the Indian directors coming from overseas and making film's here. This film, just like the 6th sense, and the cell seems to be caught up in a type of mythology that seems rather interesting, and building from that....Kind of different from normal one sentence plot descriptions that hollywood film's tend to be. (well, maybe the matrix). I'm not saying that they are BETTER, but the fact they give their universes (nto worlds, cities) a certain rulebook when starting makes them interesting. does anyone else notice this?
maybe? by SaintSeiya	Oct 6th, 2000 11:15:25 PM
so i don't know about this movie pretty much but in the teaser, the doctor tells the dickhead (bruce willis) that he doesn't have a scratch on him, does that mean that at the end of the movie we find out that bruce willis is invisible, can't die or he is unbreakable ,what?
Dude, Night's probably more American... by freexter	Oct 6th, 2000 11:16:01 PM
...than you are. Just cause the dude's Indian don't mean he came from oversea. There ARE some of us who aren't caucasian who are BORN here. Man, this just goes to prove my point that most of these "PC happy" fucks are idiots -- more so than the rednecks that they like to take popshots at.
Night was born in.... by Guerilla_Films	Oct 6th, 2000 11:42:20 PM
Pondicherry, Tamil-Nadu province, India Raised in America. My point jackass was that he still has (as many first generation people do) the same traditions and cultural ties to his homeland as many people do, and he is fusing them in his artwork, and I liked to see that. fanboys are conservative I see. get this: the term pc is made by conservatives to talk about things they don't like. I don't even like the term pc because it doesn't mena shit, and doesn't get people to talk about or even acknowledge the real problems about the things they are labeling.

the guy was kidding when he said it was racist, you moron. don't they teach irony in school anymore? guerilla_films, though his use of english is atrocious, has nicely acquitted himself.
movie promo by icedragon	Oct 7th, 2000 09:43:16 AM
True, this one lacks in the creepy department like the first promo had. I almost broke out laughing when Jackson asked Are you ready for the truth?" I expected him to whip out a red and a blue pill at that point!
I WAS joking by Guerilla_Films	Oct 7th, 2000 01:50:13 PM
about the movie being racist. I am very interested in seeing this later. and please do not mock my english. do you see the space we have to write in...not to mention the time?!? Night likes to put a lot of mythology and some aura into his films that other filmmakers aren't doing, and this film looks like it taking to the next degree. i went back to see his earlier stuff, and you can tell he is growing and progressing...
These connections between Shymalan and racism, even in jest, sho by ARCTURUS	Oct 7th, 2000 04:47:55 PM
I'm tired of hearing it. I was once at a film-related function where an uniformed woman implied that "The Sixth Sense" was racist because it didn't accurately portray the city of Philadelphia, as there were "no black people in the movie" as she put it. Later, she was enlightened by a more informed individual who suggested that she go back and look at the film again to witness that there was in fact diversity. The woman was also reminded that the director of the film was himself a minority and VERY sensitive to diversity issues. But it appears that Night just can't win here. He goes out and makes his follow-up movie, this time with a more prominant character who is black, and he's blasted for stereotyping! Even if it's in jest, it's damaging to Night's reputation, as someone's bound to not hear that it was a joke. Give Night a break, people!
Now that Kubrick's gone by Skilly	Oct 7th, 2000 11:03:41 PM
There are really very few new writer/directors whose work I find myself salivating for. Stanley Kubrick was such a great, passionate, original, and often tragically misunderstood filmaker. With him gone, perhaps only Paul Thomas Anderson, to me, seems to be that kind of flawed, risk taking, enigmatic talent whose films polarize opinion but are nevertheless impossible to ignore. Although far more commercial in his debut, Shyamalan might just have that same spark. The Sixth Sense both scared me and moved me in ways movies rarely do anymore. I can't wait for this one. I hope the 1st wasn't a fluke ...
