After all, I think it wasn´t that bad. I actually liked it.
Then again, there wasn´t any possibility that any movie might get worse than "Lady in the Water".
Nothing feels cohesive, the concept is great, but very poorly executed, and none of the actors seem to really care about each other.
It was just a fail, honestly.
Just because it's rated R doesn't mean it'll automatically rock your socks off. I should have realized that it was going to suck mightily after the marketing people really started pushing the R-rated aspect of it as a selling point.
The final three trailers in the pack were better than the entire movie they were attached to: Babylon A.D., The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and Mirrors.
...Trees? Trees that can control wind? Very slow wind, I might add?
Terrible concept, poor execution, and easily career worsts for Wahlberg and Zooey. Serious, the two of them seemed to be completely stoned dangbats.
And I'm sorry, but I couldn't take this movie seriously because I remembered the "invisible bees" scene from Tommy Boy, with David Spade and the late Chris Farley getting out of a DUI by pretending to be attacked by bees.
This movie is essentially that scene with a seriousness that it doesn't provoke or develop.
Utter junk. I'm glad Hulk turned out much better to just wash this out.
If anything, this had the OPPOSITE effect. It presented Nature as the enemy, not something to be respected.
So congratulations, M. Night. Now you've created a new legion of anti-environmentalists. Bravo.
Now, since I'm being forthcoming, let's take a look at my other "great" achievements:
The Sixth Sense = Truth be told, I read this book by Richard Matheson called Stir of Echoes and I stole the entire story and just renamed it.
Unbreakable = well, I stole that from my kid.
Signs = I stole this from an assortment of David Koepp material. He even later discussed me in various interviews of how much I seem to borrow from him. Well, I love the guy's work and will continue to steal from him in the future.
The Village = While digging through my kids' bedroom, I found one of their school books and loved the cover which features a young blind girl, in a red cloak...the book's called RUNNING OUT OF TIME. It's published by Scholastic. I'll admit that I stole the entire story and retitled it. The author got pissed, sued Disney and they paid out 10 million dollars. Then we collaborated on a public story saying that we had "creative" differences and my contract was severed. Oops.
Lady in the Water = I thought for my next, I should steal from the foreign market...I found this BETA tape of a film called The Time Travelers and I wrote the same story, in English, and called it my fairytale. Nobody understood it because nobody went to see it.
Now, we're stuck with The Happening = I stole this from a classic novel called Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham.
I am not a good filmmaker. I got lucky because I suck cock like Eli Roth.
