In other news, I am so going to make myself an Amita moodtheme. The idea has just now planted itself very firmly in my mind. Huzzah!

OK. Signs.

So did you watch Signs? I switched off after the first half an hour. How bad was that? I couldn't believe they were being serious! I also couldn't believe that Scary Movie 3 didn't take the mickey more than they did - the film certainly deserved it.

Hee, I thought it was hilarious. I watched all the way through, even on our crappy TV. I thought it was brilliantly funny. Nothing I'd ever spend money on, but fun enough. The ending was the stupidest resolution ever. Shyamalan is a gump.

So what was the payoff? Is this the same director who did The Village? I heard about that ending, and it beat everything. I'd have thrown my popcorn box at the screen.

Yes, same bloke. Basically, the aliens decided to bugger off because people in the east found a primitive manner of scaring them. Water. We find this out when Mel Gibson et al come to light and his son as an asthma attack....or something. Some random alien has the boy and Gibson has flashbacks to his wife's last words...then he's talking about miracles and consequences and there's a baseball bat and one of the little girl's glasses of water fall on the alien.

I'm just a bit annoyed that Shyamalan decided that an alien movie (a crappy one) would be an appropriate way to discuss a revolution in faith. Because that's what the movie is actually about: Mel Gibson loses his faith and then reclaims it during a period of crisis. Aliens have bugger all to do with anything.

I haven't seen The Village. That's the one when it turns out to be set in the modern day after all, I think. Shrug. Whatever.

That's lame on so many levels. Now go see Scary Movie 3. As well as mocking Signs, it has a crack at The Matrix and that Bruce Willis film with the creepy kid, "I see dead people" with the 'twist' you can guess from the trailer.
