and all the kids I noticed yawned---- often, loudly, and visiby--- throughout this fetid piece of offal. M. Night should be flogged.
Publicly and often.

...hopefully it will be the "Last" one.
Hollywood gave him numerous attempts, paid him big money. He blew it. He made crap time after time. Enough!
At the peak of his success with "The Sixth Sense" he was on the Newsweek magazine cover. His parents are such pain-in-the-ass pretentious twits, who have such high standards for their boy, that when M. Night told his mom about the Newsweek cover, she replaid "What about Time Magazine? Isn't it better to be on Time? Which one has a bigger circulation?"
This was a story he related to show what incredibly high standards they had for their son. Of course, his parents are both doctors. And first rate tools. To me, that story relates how his parents are unsupportive top notch A-holes.
WELL, his pretentious parents may have standards for him, but they are irrelevant. Another FYI for M. Night's assinine parents: your son sucks!
And that doesn't include dvd rentals and sales.

in "The Last Airbender." He has made a REALLY bad movie."

Signs and the Village were just horrible. He was a one hit wonder with Sixth Sense. Unbreakable was ok.
The "twist" that water was deadly to the aliens was completely idiotic. Our atmosphere has lots of water vapor in it. It's called humidity. If water really was toxic to the aliens then leaving their vehicles without protective suits would have been equivalent to a naked human stepping into the sulphuric acid clouds on Venus.
...depictions" of anything in that movie. I was less insulted because I watched with my kids on DVR, not as a $50 theater experience. Still, I thought it was more like a comedy that almost worked, with dramatic themes forcibly woven in--which was the films principal undoing.
Joachim Phoenix was great throughout the film and Gibson had several nice dry-humor moments as did Breslin and Culkin. There were even a couple laugh out loud scenes and a few unintentionally dumb moments that also made us smile.
The tension with the Aliens was corny and a contrivance to drive the "struggle of faith" message of the film. There was a nice scary moment or two for our 10 year old. This seemed made for a teen audience with some adult themes. They tried to do way too much with too little.
The film is indefensible on many levels but it was watchable and mildly entertaining on a rainy Saturday. If you look at what PG-13 films are "ok" for kids 10-14 Signs doesn't seem so bad.
Next to the other M. Night films Signs had a few redeeming qualities; mainly humor and a lack of serious language and violence--which is likely why they went with water and trouble with locks as the Aliens undoing.... they fit the silly, mostly mild nature of the film.
The water idea was beyond stupid.

I don't understand. What "truth about Venus" are you referring to? And you do know that it was the Soviet Union's Venera 4 probe that parachuted an instrument package into the atmosphere of Venus, not an US spacecraft, right?

path would result in aliens that can travel through the vast reaches of space to arrive on earth, but, lacking the technological ability to open a cellar door?
This reminds me of the Washington Post critic describing how the aliens were defeated in the movie "Independence Day" by planting a virus on the mothership. He noted that this advance species came millions of lightyears across the galaxy while running a Windows operating system.

Judd Hirsch mentions it on Air Force One. I guess they missed one.

Signs was very hard to pull off, the end of the world stuff is almost impossible to pull off. The movie was a bit eerie with a few plot holes.
The Village was excellent in my mind. I was fooled by the ending, really enjoyed it. Bryce Howard Dallas really shined. I watched it several times.
I haven't seen airbender, the adds looked great but the word of mouth is it stinks. To bad for Shyamalan.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
unbearable.
I only saw it once when it first came out. I remember forcing myself to really play along with the ideas of the movie to enjoy it.
Yes. De la merde en conserve.
