"The Happening" Environmentalist Lunacy

I am starting this thread because of the movie "The Happening" which my wife and I saw yesterday July 4, 2008.

My wife and I enjoy a wide variety of movies. We like westerns, military, certain types of drama, obviously comedy, and we are most definitly Sci Fi enthusists. (We're Trekies) no we don't dress up like fangorian mud beasts and go to conventions (though my wife does work in the convention industry setting up the shows).

Until I met my wife I was never much of a Mystery Movie person. As a child I was more into the old Twlight Zone, Outer Limits, Attack of the Monster from Planet wherever type of stuff. (Maybe it's a guy thing? Cars and B monster movies?) Anyway, after meeting my wife I started watching and began to enjoy Mysteries. Now a Sci Fi Mystery, a tub of popcorn, a large soda. and don't forget the all important "RED VINES" OH-----YAAAAAAA!!!!!, I'm a happy camper at a movie.

Well, my wife and I both like Alfred Hitchcock style and type movies, in fact we prefer movies that are not "graphic" but rather the type of movies that let your imagination create an even better movie, so it should be no surprise and understandable that when M. Night Shyalaman began making movies we became fans in a matter of speaking as Alfred Hitchcock is supposed to have been his inspiration in making his style of Mystery Movies.

We have liked the many movies that M. Night Shyamalan has made and I have particularly liked the "twists" that he has incorporated in his endings that is, until now.

NO!!!!!

I am not going to spoil the movie for those of you that really want to waste your money on this movie but I will tell you this.

At the end of the movie I stuffed my head in what was left of my "Extra Butter Saturated Popcorn", I then proceeded to pour my Diet Soda all over myself, and for my Red Vines......................I was two liquorice sticks short of completeing a hangmans noose and this compounded my utter diappointment in this movie. (did I have your imagination working there?)

In all truthfullness, this movie is an evironmentalist joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointed, disdain, frustrated, did I say disappointed?

My one daughter told me later (go figure, after I spend about $70.00) that the movie got a 5 Zero rating. Why couldn't she have told me before I went?

Anyway, I you want to see it for yourself leave any weapons at home so you don't hurt yourself immediately after the movie.

To be fair though, the mystery of the movie is great but the ending just totally destroy's it. By the ending I mean...........No I'm not going to say unless someone or several ones ask.

I left with a total feeling of having had to sit next to Al Gore on a non-stop L.A. to London flight and he never stopped talking.

Images, hurting the brain, pain, the unbarable pain, voices, please srtop the b=voices.

Though I try to add humor (stress on the try) in all seriousness, this movie is quite the environmental (stress on the mental) wack job.

I have noticed and maybe you have also that ever since McCain became the presumptive GOP nominee the environmenatlist wackos have become more emboldened.

If you go and see the movie don't say I didn't warn you

The Lord Bless
