I have a hard time believing that any movie could suck more than The Happening. God, that movie was terrible.

"We have to stay ahead of the wind!" That line pretty much sums up the entire movie.

I liked Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense. They're one trick pony movies but I enjoyed them for what they were. Everything else was fucking horrible, particularly Signs with the Grand Canyon-sized plothole of "why would aliens that are susceptible to water invade a planet that is 70% water and rains constantly?"

Perhaps because they don't know they are susceptible to water?

Right. They can break the speed of light and have the technology to travel millions of light years, yet they didn't realize they are vulnerable to a not terribly uncommon molecule.


Yeah, Signs was pretty awful.  I probably but it somewhere near the Happening just because of stupid little details like that.

They're weak to water yet they invade a planet where everything is made of water?

They run around in dew covered fields.

They can run at incredible speeds and jump on top of two story houses, yet a wooden door stops them dead in their tracks.

I'm sure if I had seen the movie recently I could go on but it's not really worth it.  Usually when movies have those type of flaws they're the type of movies you can just turn you brain off, like Bio-Dome, but the problem with things like Signs is it's a movie where you are supposed to be thinking.

I mean Hell, have they never heard of a simple body suit?
