Anyone else excited for The Happening?

I'm leaving in a few minutes. I hope it's this year's Mr. Brooks.
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

SPOILER ALERT (Although I don't know if it's really a spoiler):



From what I've read in reviews it doesn't have a twist at the end... But it's his first R-Rated movie! And that makes me want to go out tonight and see it.

SPOILER ALERT (and my M. Nightesque twist):

No it doesn't.

If, like me, you're not bothered about seeing it at all, you might want to listen to the Slate Spoiler Podcast. Those are always good.

Is there a flying saucer in the end? If so, I'm out.
See God, Kai

it looks awful.

and the fact that its being billed as 'his first r rated movie' is  just disgusting.

I just saw an extended promo for this, and Mr. Shyamamamamamalan chortles at least twice about the movie's rating. 

Me, I'm looking forward to when in desperation he goes triple X.  "Twist" will take on a whole new meaning.

P.S.  Just read the review.  I can't wait till this turns up on television--which should be soon, judging from the critical response.

whenever i read the movie's title i can't help but think it's about hip 60's performance art.

The movie was terrible. Everyone should see this thing. I think Shallyman is losing his mind.

I think Shamalayan should go Warhol on us. He can do a 24-hour movie that's just a static shot of the Empire State Building, with the big twist at the end being that at hour 23 he switches to the Chrysler Building.

Yeah it made me think that he is ripping off a certain old British Sci fi book for his ideas now.
