Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

At this point him making a movie without some sort of twist ending would be the ultimate twist ending.

I think that's what happened with his most recent movie

And it is unfortunate because I like twist endings. Give me films like Carnival of Souls, Sixth Sense, Shutter Island, The Usual Suspects, etc. They only work though if you aren't doing them 100% of the time. And they have to be good films even with the twist removed. And if the twist is to be good on rewatches, there needs to be enough clues that you can see the evidence when you view the film a second time, and the twist has a sense of not coming out of left field

In the ultimate twist, I recently read a piece by someone who credibly showed that the aliens in "Signs" are actually demons.

He waited too long and, at this point, I'm beyond caring.

I came to the conclusion that hyper-erratic directors (like Shaymalan) and directors you hire when you want a tax write-off (like Boll) shouldn’t be given any more new projects until they improve on their flops.

Sure, except that waiting until Boll gets better would at least partially invalidate his use as a write-off.

There's also the looming heat-death of the universe, which might happen first.

Having a few criticisms of a new edition doesn’t make someone an edition warrior. Having nothing but criticism does.

I’m sure they could write off his failed attempts at improvement.

I think that's far more likely than anything else (meaning sociopolitical stuff)

It certainly reaches a whole other level of bad. The Lady in the Water was probably the one that I enjoyed the least. But the happening takes all of Mark Wahlberg's and M. Night Shyamalan's flaws and combines them into one composite disaster. I've heard from people who liked Lady in the Water, I have never met a single person who liked The Happening.

I had mixed feelings about Lady in the Water, but The Happening--uh, yeah.
