I think The Sixth Sense had more general appeal than Unbreakable, but obviously I liked Unbreakable better. There's nothing wrong with TSS, mind you.
Signs was awful, I thought. The story wasn't bad, but I just didn't feel like it translated well to movie.
I really enjoyed The Village. Yes, there are holes and such in the story, but I enjoyed it in spite of them.
I fail to see how Unbreakable has a tacked-on ending.
I was also pleasantly surprised by Lady in the Water. It was unfortunate that it was billed like a kids movie, because it really wasn't. It was about a fairytale, yes, but it was far from a kids movie.
The Happening and the Avatar movie don't interest me, so I haven't and/or don't plan on seeing them.

Well I thought The Sixth Sense was contrived and forcefully understated.
The Village even more so and that film is kind of a missed opportunity not focusing on the reason why cults separate their members from society. What you get is pointless mystery story. Since you mentioned Hitchcock I could liken it to one of his television episodes, rather than any of his films.
Unbreakable is, with the exception of the clearly tacked on ending, his standout work.
I have avoided The Sham's later films like the plague.


I was referring to the "signs" at the very end in the sense giving the movie, which is essentially an origin story, a friggin epilogue.

Shamalamaman gets a lot of grief- but I've always thought his movies were pretty damn good. He's a cheesier, modern version of Hitchcock. Am I the only one who actually liked The Village? I love movies with surprise hooks- especially if I haven't guessed or been told what it is. 6th Sense was an amazing movie. >> ^Smugglarn:
I like that movie a lot too. My only real gripe with it is the text at the end saying "and he turned him in to thepolice yada yada yada... whatever - ruined a great movie.
Then again Shamalamanamanam turned out to be full of shit.

If you don't like tipping, don't go out to eat. It's that simple.

You think you have a grasp on the system? Try talking to a waiter or waitress about it. (outside of their workplace) When you work in the industry for years, you get an almost sixth sense of the people who are going to tip and the people who aren't. If you knew the rules that most waiters use you'd probably find them to be completely racist and xenophobic but most food industry workers use the system to detemine who they're going to care about and who they aren't. Even if they won't admit it.

And if you think that's bad, I don't even want to get into what happens when a person who isn't likely to tip starts complaining. It turns my stomach just to think about it.

Whatever ideas you have about tipping, just remember that your waitr/waitress has they're own. And they're probably going to follow their own system rather than yours. Like it or not, that's the way it is.

That said, if you're a nice, reasonable customer, most servers aren't going to care what you tip them. Unless their weed supply is low.

I loved Battle Royale, but I think Suicide Club would take it's spot if I were to edit that list of his. Audition was fucked up and awesome -- good choice! And while I wouldn't say Unbreakable is in my top, I think it was the third best Shamalamadingdong (I believe it was Jay Leno who coined this popularly) film next to the Sixth Sense and the Happening. (The Happening is one of those films I have to keep watching like some sort of twisted ritual of pain. I've seen a lot of f'ed up flicks, but this movie makes me feel truly uneasy about life.) People hated Unbreakable, but I thought it was clever. While Bruce Willis fights the minor villains (like the serial rapist dude), Mr. Glass is orchestrating a sinister plot!!

Boogie Nights, Dogville, Fight Club and Team America are in all my top films. Unbreakabale wasn't bad at all (great conclusion), just had too much hype cos of Sixth Sense.

Battle Royale is one I watched very recently too, and one of those rare movies that I really enjoyed watching but wasn't exactly gripped by.

Anyway can't wait for Inglourious Basterds

The Sixth Sense is a tough act to follow.
Definitely will see this.

Well, it has been a steady and quantifiable decline since Sixth Sense. Though to be honest, I opted out of his movies completely after The Village.

Actually, somehow Rotten Tomatoes rates Signs as higher than Unbreakable, and I couldn't stand that film. It's all opinion anyway, right?

On April 19, 1943 Dr. Hofmann intentionally ingested 250 µg of LSD, which he hypothesized would be a threshold dose, based on other ergot alkaloids. After ingesting the substance Hofmann was struggling to speak intelligibly and asked his laboratory assistant, who knew of the self-experiment, to escort him home on his bicycle, due to the lack of available vehicles during wartime restrictions. On the bicycle ride home, Hofmann's condition became more severe and in his journal he stated that everything in his field of vision wavered and was distorted, as if seen in a curved mirror. Hofmann also stated that while riding on the bicycle, he had the sensation of being stationary, unable to move from where he was, despite the fact that he was moving very rapidly. Once Hofmann arrived safely home, he summoned a doctor and asked his neighbour for milk, believing it may help relieve the symptoms. Hofmann wrote that despite his delirious and bewildered condition, he was able to choose milk as a nonspecific antidote for poisoning. Upon arriving, the doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. After spending several hours terrified that his body had been possessed by a demon, that his next door neighbour was a witch, and that his furniture was threatening him, Dr. Hofmann feared he had become completely insane. In his journal Hofmann said that the doctor saw no reason to prescribe medication and instead sent him to his bed. At this time Hofmann said that the feelings of fear had started to give way to feelings of good fortune and gratitude, and that he was now enjoying the colours and plays of shapes that persisted behind his closed eyes. Hofmann mentions seeing "fantastic images" surging past him, alternating and opening and closing themselves into circles and spirals and finally exploding into coloured fountains and then rearranging themselves in a constant flux. Hofmann mentions that during the condition every acoustic perception, such as the sound of a passing automobile, was transformed into optical perceptions. Eventually Hofmann slept and upon awakening the next morning felt refreshed and clearheaded, though somewhat physically tired. He also stated that he had a sensation of well being and renewed life and that his breakfast tasted unusually delicious. Upon walking in his garden he remarked that all of his senses were "vibrating in a condition of highest sensitivity, which then persisted for the entire day".
