My wife has informed me my head is shaped improperly for looking good bald.

Like the lead singer from Bronski Beat? (Jimmy Somerville)


Jimmy doesn't look that bad...I'm pretty sure my head is twisted in some odd way with knots at the ends.

EDIT: Another guy that looks awesome bald...Bruce Willis.

this series sold me to Zach's comedy... the one with Bruce Willis.. or when he asks Jon Hamm if he'd consider changing his middlename to Honeybaked


My favorite line was with Ben Stiller, something like... "Do you wish that you had ever followed your parents into comedy?"

at the request of BoneRemake (because my "m night shyalaman is an idiot" rebuttal wasnt long winded enough =P):

sixth sense was "meh" for the following reasons:
"These souls who for whatever reason are not at rest are also not aware that they have passed on. Theyre not part of consciousness as we know it. they linger in a perpetual dream state; a nightmare from which they cannot wake." this may sound familiar. it may sound familiar as the general premise of The Sixth Sense and central to the "twist" (if you could even call it that) ending.

it may also sound familiar as a line from Poltergeist, and also being the central premise of the conflict resolution.
speaking of poltergeist, the open cabinet drawers scene in sixth sense is directly lifted from the moving chairs scene in poltergeist. you may call this an homage, i call it half-assed hackery.

his color reference as hints are just too obvious. theyre vague and ambiguous at first, but once you start noticing em it becomes plainly clear. as for the whole "twist" BRUCE WILLIS IS DEAD OMG YOU FOOLED ME YOU OLD TOSSER i felt it took away from the movie. when i originally went to see the sixth sense with my dad i went to see a tense psychological thriller that would chill me. and for the first 20-30 minutes or so, it did not disappoint..... until my dad and i figured out willis was dead (the "i see dead people" scene gave it away for us). we were dumbfounded at first, wondering what in the hell this had to do with furthering the plot, but we didnt need to wonder anymore once the movie became about bruce willis being all emo about being dead. and the big reveal at the end, considering we already knew, really just made us both scoff. simply put, it was a pretty scare and intense movie when it was about the boy, then it became boring and stupid when it does a 180 and becomes about bruce willis. thats my opinion anyway, tomaytoe-tomawtoe

now having said all of that, there is one, and only one thing, i like about shyalaman: his vision as a director. He's not a genius or anything, but he's pretty damn good. he has a real knack for framing, tone, and pacing. probably the only thing i like about sixth sense was his ability to add tangible tension through masterful pacing and mood setting.
....i take that back. theres two things i liked about sixth sense. the overall directing, and the anniversary dinner scene. that scene really did add an ambiguity to the whole dilemma of willis being dead. on one hand the scene must play out as an emotionally drained wife frustrated (and even pissed off) at her husbands increasing distance. simultaneously she must convey a mournful widow still in grief over her husbands death on their anniversary (and the anniversary of his death if im not mistaken). that scene is legit. but credit must be given to the actress and her portrayal more so than shyalaman because she nailed it beautifully.

whether he makes shitty films or not, sixth sense rocked the boxoffice and gave him some arguably deserved limelight. but his subsequent films proved that he is a one trick pony. his movies became exponentially more and more transparent, more and more boring, and more and more stale, lacking anything of substance. (with the exception of Signs arguably. i personally didnt love it, but i kind of liked it and its a solid enough film if you disregard the shit ending) the fact that his handle of "the twist ending filmmaker" is a passive aggressive insult shows this.

m night shyalaman as a filmmaker just.......sucks. theres really not a better or more concise way to put it. as a director, however, he really does shine......which brings us to devil, a movie in which he wrote and produced but did not direct. so basically the one thing he's actually good at, he didnt fucking do in that movie........and it shows.....its utter shite. at the risk of sounding pretentious, the twist ending (cuz you know theres fucking gonna be one, its a shyalaman movie for christ sake) is so limp and stupid, you can figure it out just from watching the damn trailer (i did).

and as far as the michael bay (barf) comparisons, i think the only difference is this: michael bay knows what he is. he knows exactly what kind of movies he makes. In cinema, motion pictures come in two forms: Films (art form) and movies (entertainment). Michael bay makes the latter, and he knows it, and everyone who watches his movies knows it. shyalaman makes movies masquerading as film. seriously, when your go to device is the plot twist, and you have one in each and every one of your god awful movies, they really lose the "surprise" appeal which utterly defeats the purpose of it in the first place and thus, deserves to be mocked

there, that a thorough enough rebuttal for ya, you crusty bastard? =P

Watching this reminded me of Jimmy Fallon last night, so I posted this:

Who is crazier:
Those who suspect a man refusing to release a document that would easily end all speculation MIGHT have something to hide,
or
those who still believe a nation can tax and spend itself into stability and prosperity, with the top producers paying the heaviest federal taxes and the "bottom" 50% paying nothing, but slurping up plenty of entitlements.


Snopes.com

You should add it to speed-dial and also make a bookmark. You seem to always be contrary on any political subject.

Which causes me to believe you're nothing, but a reincarnated troll from Videosift past. If you're trying not to troll, bring up some factual evidence and not semantics. Your quote does NOTHING for this issue other than showing us that you are most likely: a birther, tea-partier, and Donald Trump lover (in just three weeks; you haven't even heard his bad stuff yet--he'll make everyone at the Republican debate look like a saint by comparison, by the time they finish with him)...

He thinks a TV show helps him. Who is he Sarah Palin? Even the hairpiece has a comb-over (forward). Atleast someone like Bruce Willis isn't paranoid about it; he took it in stride and made it a part of him, a strength.

Last time? Until we discover that asteroid that we need to go land on and blow up. Then they'll be pulling these things out of museums as fast as they can.


And using Bruce Willis.

Whats the movie with Bruce Willis claiming Marshall law? it seems familiar.

This one was quite meh... the previous one (I think) with Bruce Willis was pretty damn funny though.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I heard Kevin talking about Bruce Willis on maron's podcast - Bruce sounds like a real primadona cockhead.

>> ^blankfist:

Weird. Looks like he's trying to reinvent himself. He was probably headed for director jail and knows his Mall Rats and Clerks fans are fewer these days. It looked like he tried Action/Comedy with Cop Out. I guess that didn't go very well, so this looks like another attempt to reinvent himself as a director. I hope it's good. The teaser looks good.


Actually, In either October or November, can't remember which, he came to my hometown and did an "Evening with Kevin Smith" here. One of the questions asked basically had him go completely off topic but he did talk about Red State being his final movie for a long, long time because he was tired of re-inventing himself.

He also talked about how much of a treat it is to work with John Goodman, who does all his own stand-ins for dialogue scenes where all you see is the back of his head (A job generally reserved for 'look alikes' so the stars can go sit in the corner and text.) As opposed to Bruce Willis, who generally took absolutely no direction from Kevin because he was too "Amateur" and instead actually reemed him out one day on set.

So, the fact alone that everybody in the film seems to actually enjoy what they do and like kevin enough to give their best performances hopefully means this is indeed better then cop out.

[edit] Guess RS beat me to it.

• Alec Baldwin was seen wiping a tear from his eye as he laughed along from the audience.

• Rapper and actor Sean 'Diddy' Combs, said he was 'really enjoying it' and said Gervais was 'doing an excellent job'.

• Bruce Willis - backstage he admitted: 'He was fantastic, he killed it, he did great.'

• Rising British actor Andrew Garfield admitted it had been a cringe-worthy performance: 'He's been terribly nasty and horribly rude and I think he's genius.'

• Fellow Brit Christian Bale said he didn’t feel Gervais pushed the envelope enough and added: 'Thank God for comedians, they have the most important job. I hope he keeps going further!'

• De Niro was also seen dissolving into laughter but he too had made his own little jibes about the event as he collected the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

Did you know that some actors turn down roles? Great!


The timing on that was just unbelievably perfect.
