Shyamalan: Can I have my hour and a half back please ?

Posted: 15:21 24/06/2008
The movie was just bad. The characters were horrible, the dialogue was garbage, and the gore was unnecessary. The entire plot was gift wrapped in the first few minutes, I don't see how anyone can say this movie made you think. It has been scientifically proven that plants react to human stimulus, but plants that can control the wind? I just can't take that seriously.

I have to agree with the ones who think this movie was anything but thought-provoking.
How can you say this movie made you think? Like the reviewer said, they reveal the mystery half way through the film, and the plot never deviates. No twist...no fun.
I dig M. Night, I really do, and was very excited to see this, but I have to say the movie fell short for me. Just my opinion.

I think this movie was great! It is a completely different view on the way we treat the environment! Shyamalan's movies are always a bit quirky, which I love! This movie does, though, make me wonder how far down the line will we truly be killing ourselves when we act as we do towards the earth. His (Shyamalan) take on things is very interesting.

I saw this movie last night, in hopes that maybe I could get a few good scared in, but seriously, I have never seen such atrocious dialogue in my life. I honestly thought that this movie was a spoof of global warming. And the randomness of the movie... hot dogs??... and the incapable plot line. I was just appalled by it. And what was up with the blank characters? Like they were zombies. Zooey Deschanel has so much more talent than this puppet eco-gore crap.

I was delighted that this did not turn out to be a zombie movie, like I originally thought. In this movie, people were killing themselves, not each other. This is far from the typical slasher flick where people go crazy and kill a set group of people one person at a time. When people kill themselves, it's never for personal gain. Clearly. That's what makes this movie so scary, it's not so typical.

I completely agree with Shannon: "Nowadays you don't come across films that actually require you to think.
The American audience demands spoon-fed movies . . ."
Unfortunately, this one doesn't require you to think either, and it doesn't spoon feed you mindless entertainment either.
I am a big Shayamalan fan. His movies are some of the few that appear as if a bit of thought went into the writing and producing. They actually engage your mind, not just dazzle you with special effects or shock you with gore.
This movie however, required no thought. It required nothing but the patience to actually sit through the blandly written script. And the gore -- it just seemed cheap and over the top!
It was like those pathetic shows that use an over-abundance of sex or nudity because the producers know that is the only thing that will keep anyone interested. Shayamalan is above having to use such measures, and yet he cheapened himself and the movie by stooping to include such gruesome violence (the shotgun and the kids in particular).
Overall, I found this movie to be nothing but a propaganda piece and a huge disappointment. The script was dull, the plot was bland, and the overall effect left much to be desired.
I expected so much more from such a talented man.

DISTANT AND BIZARRE, BUT GREAT..
OK, OK, enjoying this movie requires a little bit of an open mind.
The opening scene can only be described in one word, I guess two words, but hyphenated words -- bad-boy.
It was well done, and the style of dialogue carried out through the whole movie was so strange and distant. People would often make some random comment,like "You'd better not be eye'in my lemon drink" and then make awkward eye contact, then just stop.
So much of what was said seemed so unnecessary and random, but it just made the movie so much more mysterious and kept me guessin'.
Everyone seemed so distant. So many times, I just wondered, "What is that??"
A joke? Poor script-writing?
Does Shamalan intentionally do this? The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable was nothing like this, but wait, wasn't SIGNS??!.
Maybe the worst part was waiting unsuccessfully for Mark Whalberg to start bustin' faces, and instead we just got him talkin' in a little baby voice.
I didn't know breaking the type-cast meant being a little sissy.
Anyways, maybe it's not for most people, but this movie is worth checkin' out.

It's a great movie!! Thought-provoking!!

Posted: 19:25 22/06/2008
The movie did not really require any thinking on the part of the audience. The entire plot was very predictable.
It also moved at the pace of a snail.
I do not recommend this movie. It is reminiscent of a late-night horror rerun.

Posted: 18:53 22/06/2008
Good overall movie. Coyla's comments are true -- to enjoy it, you have to think.
I did think some parts were too much like King's movies. It could have been done without the gore and blood. The twist was not as dramatic as other Night movies.
To have a quick flash or taste of what the people saw would have been interesting if done right, but now we all have to use our own minds to fill that hole.

I loved this film. I think it was a great interpretation of the rapture. Very creative.

How about giving some press time to the up and coming
Czech cyclist Roman Kreuziger who just won the Tour de Suisse?

This is quite horrible. Dogs badly need to be able to run around and socialize. It's cruel enough to keep them cooped up all day in a tiny apartment.

Let's hope we can trust the Czech government to use a bit more of the common sense.

If you are a dog living in a small flat in Prague your only chance to run around is for a few minutes in the park. You would like to take away this one daily pleasure - for maybe three or four million animals - just so that some kid doesn't get bitten??? 95% of these animals are too small to do any harm, and those few which aren't can easily be required to where a muzzle.

But I understand where you are coming from: you are coming from a country where the "rights" of a piece of discarded foetal tissue are debated ad nauseum in your media, while the genuine needs of intelligent creatures such as chimpanzees to not be tortured or held in tiny cages is "below the radar".

You are coming from a country where the government condones torture and where policemen tazer children who don't obey them.

Please go home. We don't want your police-state values in our safe, pleasant European country. And most of all, we don't want your arrogant advice.

>>f it's a case of safety (never mind courtesy) versus animal comfort, that's an easy call.

Only for somebody with your cruel mindset.

What kind off a threat is a little herna bar comper to the global threat of the USA-mascot "Philip from
San Francisco" (Good city reputation..Ehh?)
Whatever you do.. don't work as a diplomat!

"Not all records are of such **heft**"

"In a world of digital music and excessive environmental noise, an analog vinyl record can be a welcome respite." [surely vinyl records have a higher noise to sound ratio, not a lower one...]

Perhaps you need a new editor.

Pavel Maurer's quote 'I exist to combine Prague with great food' conflicts with my own experience of the Prague Food Festival this last weekend.
The entrance fee of 350Kc (100Kc to Mr. Maurer) includes 250Kc for 10 food tokens. Most of the fine dining establishment offerings required around 3 tokens for a starter and 5 tokens for a 'main course'. However, the main courses were closer to a starter and the starters closer to an amuse bouche.
I have since discovered that each restaurant has to pay in the region of 30000Kc a day to attend, plus provide their own staff and equipment. So who can blame them for trying to recover their costs?
The losers? Those who paid 350Kc for little more than a snack, eaten, while standing, using a fork that required a 20Kc deposit - hardly a window into the fine dining world.
The winner? Mr. Maurer, who I imagine will be able afford to eat regularly in fine dining restaurants until next year's event rolls the money in again.
For around 700Kc per person, diners could enjoy the three-course lunch menu at Maze, V Zatisi or many other similar establishments. This would include ambience, waiter service and a table complete with silverware that doesn't require a deposit before use.

Dear sir:
I want to know about the general job situation in Prague and the per hour wages paid in the euro currency in Prague.
