as for M Night ... I'd love for you to react to Split, The Village, Old, and Lady in the Water

George, as regards to this taking place in “Bucks County” outside of Philadelphia, yes people in the area know that county well as compared to Philadelphia. It has a population of about 626,000 people, compared 1.6 million people in Philadelphia, so it’s not exactly sparsely occupied. It’s roughly northwest of the city. The movie was filmed on location in Bucks county and other nearby areas. Shymalan was raised and lives in the areas and generally films his movies in Pennsylvania, which is neat for us locals. Incidentally, Peter Jackson shot part of “The Lovely Bones” in my hometown, Royersford, PA, and a neighboring town as well as a few others. The movie “The Blob” from 1958 also shot some scenes locally. Fun stuff.

Well, just finished it and like too many of Shymalan’s films it is 90% excellent and then falls apart in the end. Meh. Needlessly silly. Beyond the water issue, given what we see of the aliens, privately-owned firearms (never mind a professional army) would take care of the problem here pretty quickly, if they are so susceptible to blunt force weapons. And they basically stood there waiting to be killed. It barley fought back. Good acting though.

The little girl who played Bo was also "Little Rock" in the Zombieland films (Emma Stone was "Wichita").

Huge fan of this movie and a few of MNS's movies, so....wall of text incoming: Loved this movie so much. have watched it well over a dozen times. it was the first movie I bought after I got my surround sound system back in the day. hadn't even tested the system. that corn field scene at night scared the crap out of me because the directional speakers. thought something was jumping out from beside me. Also the score and sound for this movie were just so dang good. Although M Night broke a huge rule twice in this movie....he killed the doggo....twice. I think part of what made this awesome was that it is showing this all from the POV of one family. it's like what things would be like for most people if this situation would have happened at the time, not as connected through online sites, getting most of our info from tv, radio and rumor. It's part of why I think I enjoyed The Quiet Place so much. The dialogue was great, the acting was on point, and the setting was perfect. Was really cool that you two caught on to a few things I didn't notice until the 2nd time I watched it. like putting together the not calling the vet at the beginning and then seeing Rey was a vet. I also missed the camo on the alien's arm showing Mel's face the first watch. There are lots of fun details in the movie that are great about making theories. Like Bo inheriting her mothers seer abilities. The mother could see the future and give advice about it and Bo was seeing the future in her dreams. Believe Lady in the Water was the first movie that MNS made that just fell flat. after that there was some struggle. Some say the Village, but the Village did have its' moments. The Happening is worth watching just for the laughs. There a show called Wayward Pines that had a pretty cool first season that he directed(at least some of the episodes, not sure if all of them), it's also a book series. Unbreakable is technically part of a trilogy. it was just a hidden trilogy because you aren't supposed to know Split was a sequel until the credit scene. Split is great and stands on its' own as just a standalone movie. you don't need to see Unbreakable to really enjoy it. and you can just not watch Glass because honestly I think Unbreakable and Split just stand on their own as two great movies. Although there is some good commentary for what MNS was trying to say about what real life super heroes would be like. Can't say anything else without some pretty big spoilers. I would say these are good watches for anyone that enjoyed a MNS movie: Sixth Sense Unbreakable Signs The Village Split Season 1 of Wayward Pines *The Happening* only for the memes and just craziness of the plot and dialogue. almost was like he was trying to a make a B movie disguised as a blockbuster. Have not seen Knock at the Cabin yet, but have heard it's okay. Most people thought after Split he was back in the swing of things with making great films. You should check out Chris Stuckmann's video about Signs and some of his other videos about MNS. he is a huge fan of the movie and talks about the water issue as well as a few other complaints pretty well. there are a lot of people that have issues with the water thing, I don't. basically I look at it the same way as us going into the deep ocean or other environments where we would not survive long without access to shelter or protective gear. i mean we step out side of a submersible in the deep ocean, we die instantly. we go to the north or south pole and step outside without protective gear, we freeze to death fairly quickly. If we were to go to a planet like Venus with really advanced gear in like a thousand years and we walk on the planet with protective gear but without it we would die instantly. the aliens come out of the ship at night when we aren't as active and in good weather. they don't show any scenes of places the aliens went that may have had a rain storm. they may have just stayed in their comfy ships that night or moved on when they saw puddles on the ground. they also avoided places with a lot of water, as Rey said. also if we saw some little creatures crawling around we would try to take a few for study, kind of like the aliens in this movie. they didn't care about making a settlement or anything, they just wanted some good human meat for their long flight home or something. Also with us basically adapting to our technology and environment, most of us would die if we were thrown out in the wild. Which also brings me to the complaint that a lot of others had about the aliens not knowing how doors and windows work. If we advance to a point where even our doors are based on advanced tech and structures, we might forget how a primitive doorknob works, think about what our houses would be like if we were capable of traveling across the galaxy. the alien had an issue with being trapped in the pantry, but it did eventually work out how to get through, just like the aliens just figured out that the windows were easy to break. they weren't incapable, they just aren't used to such primitive building concepts.

A little late to the party, been really busy this past week. This movie is alright, but compared to others I think it falls a little flat. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is a fascinating study on how important communication is, and makes you think on how the cell phone changes everything. However my favorite alien movie is Fire in the Sky (1993). It is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, it will give you guys goosebumps for the whole runtime.

I am a bit late to the party, but I enjoyed the intro to this movie so much!! And I have so many thoughts! As a native speaker of a pointlessly gendered language (Spanish) who later decided to learn English and French, I was relating to George's struggle so much! Arbitrarily gendered nouns are indeed pointless (but also, in English all vehicles are "she" because you get inside them, and that's always creeped me out; in Spanish they are always "he" because penis proxies, duh), but the real trip is when you speak Spanish and learn French, they don't use the same arbitrarily gendered language rules!! Those bastards keep playing switcheroo just to confound learners, I swear. I am also fascinated with cultural anthropology in general, and mythologies/folklore and what it says about what matters to people, and I have theories about why the difference in scary legends: The BabaYaga myth is essentially xenophobia: the Sami people traditionally built their houses on top of wooden 'tripod' legs, were more matriarchal and had their own indigenous knowledge of herbs and medicine, hence the "powerful witches who live in houses with chicken legs" legend. American myths focus on ghosts and aliens because they are "guilt of colonization" legends: the fear that one day some powerful beings will descend without warning from unknown places and exterminate/enslave all humans (hence why their alien stories are rarely peaceful, and why in rural Italy there aren't that many UFOs, and apparitions from the sky are usually the Virgin Mary); the fear that the past they've completely erased from their surroundings and don't interact with anymore will rise from beyond to settle the score... Something that will do to them what they have done. Those are manifestations of guilt. See also how the "building on top of a cursed Native American cemetery" trope also happens really often. And monsters ebb and flow in popularity depending on the times: the late 80s and 90s brought a lot of vampire stories to deal with blood and sex being quite deadly; zombies were popular in the 50s due to communist fears of brainwashing, and once again when the internet renewed that same fear; demonic possession stories talk about how our once angelic children become moody and violent in adolescence and reject family values, Frankenstein embodied the victorian fear of progress run amok and costing us our humanity, so I think it's due for a revival soon... (We are not exempt from symbolic preferences: in my country, a lot of scary stories are about the yet unhealed fractures of the Civil War, so there are a lot of "this evil will return prophecy" tropes, for instance.) I find it all very fascinating; the specifics of each place and time always tell you what's unique of those circumstances.
