Here’s a bit of advice for people planning to write movie reviews. This is not directed at people of this site, but to ALL movie reviewers.
DO NOT PUT PLOT SPOILERS IN YOUR REVIEW’S FRIGGIN’ TITLE!!!
I was perusing one of my favorite internet haunts, somethingawful.com, and noticed a review on M. Night Shyamalan’s new film, The Happening. What instantly set me off was that the twist ending that Shyamalan is known for was in the title of the review! What idiot thought that was a good idea!?
It would have been like walking out of the movie theatre, on opening day, of The Empire Strikes Back, and shouting, “Darth Vader is Luke’s father!? Never saw that coming!” Or, coming out of The Crying Game and yelling, “She’s a man!” Only this is worse, since the twist is the point of a Shyamalan film. Also, if you didn’t know about the above plot points, sorry I spoiled them, but kudos for going this whole time without knowing them.
Now, I’m not sure I want to see the movie. Something Awful has ruined it for me! Thanks, you schmucks!
That qualifies as something awful.
Yeah that sucks, and Trailers that pretty much so all of the movie sucks too. maybe they’re in cahoots…
