London Meetup - Saturday 14th September

in what way did you think the ending was lame?

 

I've PMed you to avoid spoiler posting

 

Az, wish you told me that yesterday





Signs - perhaps I expect every Shyamalan film to be one of twists and intelligent plot and pacing. Not saying anymore cos of spoilers.

Why? With the exception of the Sixth Sense he has done nothing remarkable so far, it's not like he's Hitchcock or something.

 

Well. I thought Unbreakable was better than average - one of my personal faves, even if it is a little slow in parts. Signs was the worst of the three IMO.

 

GRrr @sideway scrolls

Unbreakable I thought was pretty pants myself to me what was going on was obvious I caught on early and I am normally last to figure it out.

 

rrright,moyelsey! LV!
outside now!!!
unbreakable is a classic film...
it radiates class from beginning to end...
the style,the pacing,the superb acting from the leads...
the direction,the music,the editing,the stunning (subtle) production design...
how do you not sob uncontrollably at the final scene with david and his son as he confirms his sons beliefs over breakfast
i deny you your opinion on this one.
DENIED!

 

of course he (m.night) isn't hitchcock!
but then hitchcock never made 'superman the movie'...or 'war of the worlds'...or,er... a film like the sixth sense...
but hey!
he sure ain't no george flamin' lucas,is he?

 

lol I don't think Mr Lucas is the best director either

 

Superman the Movie - Quite enjoyable, Donner also gave us The Omen, the Lethal Weapon series and Assasins.

War of the Worlds - One of my favourite SF movies (along with Robinson Crusoe on Mars which Haskin also directed).

Those two movies are good, I'll grant you that but personally I thought Unbreakable was poor. In the end it all comes down to personal taste I suppose.

However, personal taste or not, you can't take anything away from Hitchcock, if not the finest, certainly the most influential director of all time.

 

yeah sure,but he was one ugly motherfu...

 

What has happened to this thread? It scrolls all across the page....................

Personally I think Hitchcock is one of the finest directors ever. I've really not seen enough of his films, although those that I have certainly left their mark.

And I love the way that he always does a cameo in his films. It is almost half the fun watching to see where he'll appear.

The best Hitchcock? Well, difficult to say as I haven't seen all of his work. At the moment though, I'd say Rope. Absolutely superb and ingenious the way it is shot in one "continuous" take. Very original.

 

We got sideways scrolling coz Jamie did loads of ?'s

sorry turr!

 

lol no probs

 

hello LV.
