Those are bold words with Tim Burton and David Lynch walking around as free men.

I can't believe "Blue Velvet" won any awards... hell, I can't believe anybody on earth enjoyed that movie *shudder*

God you people wouldn't know a good movie if it kicked you in the @ss. The movie used the aliens as a catalysit to protray the true story...faith. You do know that movies before big budgets had this thing called dialoge, why don't you listen to the words and read between the lines.

Moreover, Sixth Sense was about accepting death as a part of life. Unbreakable is about family relationships...if you're not happy with yourself, then how can you be happy with your loved ones.

Why dont you go rent one of Arnolds new movies or just play with fire crackers, because thinking isnt your strong suit.

I think we get the "faith" thing since it was pretty well beat to death, ok? The problem is the ridulous framework, plot holes, and stupid crap that they delivered it with.

NO! This is not a human trait, its a common sense! Have you ever seen an animal eat food for example? They don't just eat it, they smell it first. See if good to eat. You need to have precaution in order to survive. If these aliens survived long enough to be more technologically advanced than us, then they are familiar with precaution


Uhh yeah. but growing up on a farm I've seen many animals eat their own puke, sh!t and even each other. So i'm not sure what you were getting at.

What I am getting at is that the plot of the movie was one of the worst I have ever seen. Anybody who tries to argue with that is a dumbass. 'Nuff said.

The "plot" was CONSISTENT with what the director was trying to accomplish. If you want "real" try Animal Planet.

If making an unrealistic, illogical, feel-good piece of sh!t was what the director was trying to accomplish, then I guess the plot was consistent with that.

What films do you actually like? I honestly can't imagine what about Signs could have inspired such a violent reaction.

the plot, that's what causes the reaction. It is simply horrible.

Here are a few movies, off the top of my head, that I really like:
Lord of the Rings (both, but I liked the second one better)
Minority Report
The Godfather 1&2 (first one was better though)
Memento
Insomnia
Requiem for a Dream
12 angry men (1957)
Fight Club
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch

Minority Report had PLOT-HOLES you could drive a Buick through
Fight Club . . . now that's realism.

12 angry men (1957) . . . strange . . . I saw it again last night . . . coincidence? or . . . "miracle"?

EDIT: FACE IT, re. Movies - Your TASTE is ALL in your MOUTH.

I was going to suggest that you take a look at your list of movies again and honestly tell everyone that they are all realistic and logical. Instead, I'll just let it go...but suggest that you be a little more tolerant of others with a differing opinion on what's a good movie and what isn't. Calling people dumbasses because they like a movie that you don't isn't too cool.

Minority Report: Lots of realism there, never had to have an open mind there..

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch

I like both of these movies but truly they are the same movie. The part where he fired the shotgun by mistake and left a groove through his hair (ALA: old roadrunner cartoons) now that was believable.

You guys can nitpick all you want, but none of these movies had the gaping, huge plot holes that Signs had.

Let's face it, the premise of almost any movie is a bit out there, but once you accept the premise (having druggies that can tell when there'll be a murder for example) everything else has to make sense.

Now, I don't have a problem with the premise of Signs (plenty of other movies deal with aliens), but what followed was horrible beyond description. Having a nice message isn't enough, you need a solid movie to deliver that message. Mr. M. Night failed miserably in the movie part.


Apoppin, I saw 12 angry men about a week ago...definately a coincidence
