There should be a reference to Solo in this film.

His head would explode.

Two of my favorite movies. Whitta, what have you created?!

This movie is made for me!

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Man, that is a stupid fucking quote.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I can't believe Shyamalan has more Twitter followers than Darren Aronofsky.

 

[Mr. Sam]

So. Dinosaurs.

Makes me laugh every time. It was worse than a couple of years ago when people started trying to call Abrams the next Spielberg.

What, you think people follow Shyamalan out of respect?

Well Abrams was doing everything he could to try to make himself the next Spielberg with that god awful Super 8. As for Shyamalan's Twitter quote, he hyped up The Happening likening it to Hitchcock. Don't listen to him.

This has been my problem from go. I keep trying to make indie dramas in the bodies of high concept movies. Tough serving two masters.

Yes, I'm sure that's the problem.

 

[MYE]

Hey, Signs is fucking awesome.

In fact, i'm gonna pop in my bluray before i go to sleep.

 

[Maffis]

Shyamalan has some bad movies, but some amazing too. Don't get the hate.

His arrogance. He blames people for not liking his movies. He has said that he thinks Last Airbender is his best movie. Guy is nuts....

MiB can now continue if Brolin and this guy are down.

Shyamalan > Abrams

That line isn't even really him comparing his movie to those. Basically trying to say that it'll have things that he believes appeal to arthouse and blockbuster crowds. Somehow I doubt it, but that's what he's saying.

[SCULLIBUNDO]

To be fair, Shymalan's first three films are better than pretty much everything Abrams has done. And I like Abrams.

But since then he has more than dropped the ball.

 

[Dan]

Shyamalan will always have The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. None of the films Abrams has done even come close. Hell, I might even say some of his later movies, even if they're incredibly flawed, are still more interesting than what Abrams has done. It's the truth.

Will agree with the first part whilst balking at the second.

 

[Discotheque]

^^^Same. Though I'd say Signs is also better than anything Abrams has directed so far.

edit: pisses me off that Kyle Chandler didn't appear in War of the Worlds and ended up in Super 8. Why do imitation Spielberg when you can get the real thing?!

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Unbreakable is Shyamalan's best.

 

[Odrion]

Signs is pretty good.

The Village is a very underrated film.

The Village is a very underrated film.

definitely.

even lady in the water has some great moments.

the happening is where things started going wrong. but i think people take that movie way too seriously. the scene where wahlberg talks to a plant is supposed to be stupid.

 

[James Woods]

I enjoy The Village. There is something about it that is stirring and I don't know what it is. Some of that camerawork and drama is effective to me.

 

[Odrion]

I wonder if The Happening was intentionally bad.

It's just so funny. "Check this out! *iPhone video of a man being eaten by lions.*"

[tycoonheart]

I was actually in Costa Rica vacationing when they were filming this movie there.

Came across the the crew filming a few times.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Spotted at Comic-Con!

Here's the plot synopsis:

“In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.”

Cypher Raige

 

[Ashhong]

Really....Cypher Raige lol

 

[luxarific]

Cypher Raige

Ye gods. Maybe it's really a futuristic video game/simulation.

Spoiler

I hope, because otherwise that name ;_;

 

[oatmeal]

So they crash land on earth? Planet of the Apes style?

Sounds fun.

 

[jett]

dat name

so jayden smith is the real star of this movie? And this really is sounding like Planet of the Apes, I imagine there will be mutated humans or something.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Goddamn you Cypher.

 

[jett]

Goddamn you Cypher.

 

[Hagi]

10/10 bravo

wonder what the twist will be? they're actually on Nova Prime? dun dun dun

 

[Jackpot]

Jaden Smith playing a bratty, ungrateful kid and being the focus of the film is much worse news than "legendary General Rage".

 

[Maddocks]

turned down django to lay half dead while his "what wu tang clan name are you?" son takes the lead? no dice.

 

[Nugg]

I bet the twist is that it was earth all along. Oh wait.

Reminds me, I need to re-watch Dune sometime.

Kitai Raige

The jailbait savior of future Earth.

 

[Dark Octave]

It took Gary Whitta to finally get a non-white lead in an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

 

[Zilch]

The twist is that it's actually Before Earth, right?
